How to Fix Your Own Laptop or Notebook you can do easily at home

How to Fix Your Own Laptop or Notebook you can do easily at home, without having to take ketukang service, provided that you know or know the symptoms and damage to your laptop or notebook, but if the damage is not too severe, then you can try to fix it yourself, or at least know where the damage. if you fail to fix it yourself, then you can take him ketukang service. and here I'll share a little about how to fix the laptop yourself anyway?. and this perhaps you can use as reference material if a laptop or notebook when your pet will experience problems like this.




The first is yng By analyzing existing symptoms and problems accurately. For example, some people will rush and buy a new battery immediately when the assumptions were faulty. It could be just a matter of a bad cable or connector on the power cord, whereas it can be fixed with a little soldering or insulation. Let's look together ....


Similarly, if the LCD screen off, it could be a mainboard or video adapter failure, a bad inverter or lcd fluorescent lamps burning. LCDs that need to be replaced, usually due to a physical crack in the glass or a block of dead pixels. If the CD or DVD drive is not working anymore, make sure you've tried the option to try before replacing the drive cleaning kit, and always check the connections before removing the old drive. Adalagi who would identify themselves as damage to the hard drive is louder or from time to time, battery life decreases.


Problems Power / Power failure


The troubleshooting process always starts with identifying what works. If the problems associated with power, (the battery is one of the causes of the laptop will not turn on) the first step is to make sure power to the laptop .. terkontribusi This means checking that the battery LED on the transformer on, and if not (or do not have an LED), make sure the ac adapter is plugged into an electrical outlet that good .. You can check that by unplugging the ac adapter and just plugging in a lamp or can memeriksana with current testing tools.


The next question is whether or not there is a small LED status lights on the laptop with the power plugged in.. Even the oldest models usually have a power status light is good .. If you have positive power status and the notebook will not turn on, the next check is the battery. Some notebook models will not operate without a battery is installed properly, find out on the internet if your laptop models will operate with the battery dead or missing. . If the battery is not an issue and the laptop still does not turn on the power of good status, it could be a problem with power regulator, or more likely a power regulation (ic power component) or the mainboard. Addressing regulatory issues or motherboard requires test equipment or spare board to swap, and is beyond the scope of this article. (We will discuss this in more detail in a portion other sessions)


There is very little difference between troubleshooting a Dell Laptop, Toshiba Satellite, Sony Vaio, IBM Thinkpad, HP Pavilion (and Compaq) or even the Apple Powerbook or iBook. . The basic design of all laptops are the same, although one model uses an Intel CPU, the other existing AMD PowerPC and Transmeta also low. A technician troubleshooting Toshiba laptops may prefer to start with the battery, as they are notoriously weak, such as problems of HP and Compaq notebooks often begins with the RAM. However, not all models can have a marked weakness in the same issue. not follow a logical process of elimination. Just because one model of Dell tends to blue blotches on the screen when a certain age that Dell notebooks continue memproksi with the same problem.


IBM and Sony and Apple laptops are generally viewed as higher quality than other popular brands, but they all experience similar problems due to overheating, wear, and occasionally run a bad component. The battery is a special subset of power problems that are happening. The older NiCd batteries were particularly susceptible to problems. If it is not perfect in charging, the battery cells begin to record the previous level as the new maximum level, and some individual cells may even reverse. Ni-MH (Nickel Metal Hydride Battery) which replaced NiCd (Nickel Cadmium) for standard models are somewhat better, but they can not fight bad or poor charging control circuit controls the software .. All laptop batteries, whatever the form, consisting of a number of low voltage cells connected in parallel or in series to achieve the required operating voltage.
Some older notebooks require you mengsiklus battery continually, only works on AC power as long as it takes to recharge the battery.


Many new models must be fully charged the batteries about once a week, but otherwise do not worry leave it plugged in a long time, and the latest design no matter what you do for a laptop really get a charge on the battery for a reasonable percentage of the time. If you think your battery runs down too quickly, make sure you have enabled aggressive power saving mode in the software (usually accessed through Control Panel or icons producers) which dim the display, slow CPU, and let the hard drive spin down when not in use. Also, keep in mind that the level of the estimated remaining battery resistance that causes an alarm on the screen can be set by the user, and if your default settings are very conservative (between 10% and 20%), you may want to experiment with a lower level (between 3% and 5%) that will still give you time to save your work and turn off the laptop before going into hibernation.


Failure Video


The first thing to check out the video problem, as described above. If you can always hear the laptop fan when you turn on the laptop and now you can not hear it does not matter vga, power or mainboard is the problem ..


The next troubleshooting step is to connect an external monitor with standard VGA connectors, whether CRT or LCD. If it still does not turn on your notebook to an external monitor, it's very likely that one of the motherboard components or internal video adapter (if it's not part of the mainboard) has been damaged. Possible damage to the motherboard components on the above analysis is Vga pa ... ... ic epromer paprocesor Mboard chips ... .. power modules ... power ic component: if the lead does not turn at all.


If the external monitor works fine, some problems occur on a laptop video subsystem, which usually contained entirely on the screen / lid assembly (flif). Or one bundle cable / lcd cable (video signal or power) which operates through a hinge for the video subsystem has failed, except for problems clearly on Lcd Tubes, (cracked screen, fade in the corner, a faint image, bad pixels). For your LCD replacement still have to open the main part of the laptop to check the connection. The easiest problem to identify perasalahan clearly is (physical damage) cracked LCD, Replacing the LCD is almost the same on most notebooks.


If you seem to light up the screen brightness or sometimes bright and sometimes almost fading (looming) or completely dark, (do not be fooled by the power saver mode), then you probably have a backlight or inverter problem .. Between the two, the inverter several times more likely to be problematic, serves as a solid ballast in fluorescent lamps modern. The backlight itself is a CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) to be a very long time for damaged / broken, while a whole generation of inverter is the same on some laptop models, you can easily find a replacement spare parts, whether original or compatible. (Method replacement inverter we discussed in another session).


Problems Fan (system cooler)


Common problem often faced is a hot issue, however the main enemy adfalah heat from the laptop, almost 75% who faced trouble is caused by excess heat. Especially in the casing of the laptop is almost no empty space is filled with all the components. The problem most of the cooler system is the blockage of heat dissipation holes on the heatsink (dust) which causes the heat which would have been paid back bounced into the laptop, so that the temperature within a very narrow space to grow panas.Hal this can cause over heating in the VGA chip, chip and processor is other motherboard components.


Problems to the fan (fan) is characterized by the sound of a noisy laptop, indicating fan or fan bearing worn off, which can harm your motherboard component.Sebaiknya not wait until there is heat damage (over-heat) to replace the fan.


Port and Power Connectors


Laptops are sometimes plagued by internal problems of the physical connector, such as a modem or network port seems detached in this case, making it difficult to get a good connection, or solder the power connector is connected with a period (induction) .. The only way to fix this problem is to open the casing of the laptop, determine what has been damaged, and do our best to restore it to original condition, not just mengkludgingnya.


Kludging problem with anything in the notebook has a tolerance that is so tight that your kludge might fail after you install the casing back. When performing soldering on board laptop, use the iron tip is smooth and not too hot do not take risks with hot solder can damage sircuit tinggi.hal on PCB (circuit board Board) Use a decent solder sucker to quickly clean the rest of the remaining tin solder. and if you feel doing it too lama.sebaiknya paused, and let cool before trying again.
