PC Repair Tips

Checklist hardware failure

Often, a system that does not turn may be inadvertently disconnected or perhaps a cable may have been cowardly. The following list is designed to remove a plug or unplug the cable as the cause of a system will not start.

1. Make sure that all switches are in position. Check the back of the computer case. Will often have a power switch on the back of the unit near the place where the cord connects to the computer. Make sure it is in the correct position.
2. Check that the voltage is correct. In the U.S. should be set at 110v/115v. You can find the voltage switch on the power supply, which is usually located in the back of the computer as near the power cord.
3. Make sure the computer power cord is plugged into the back of the computer.
4. PC laptops, make sure the transformer is connected to the laptop safely.
5. Trace the cable from the computer to the container in the power strip or wall and make sure the container is indeed "hot." This is evidenced by the adoption of a device known as lamp test work and realize your computer is connected to make sure it actually works.
6. If you see a power light and other LED the remote computer is on but the monitor displays a screen so that you can not go on display or the video cable may have been disconnected. Make sure the power cord the monitor is connected to the rear monitor. Trace the cable from the rear monitor and ensure that decisions are connected to a live shot.
7. Check if the video monitor cable is connected to the back of the monitor and the other end is properly connected to the video port on the computer.
8. No luck? Try disconnecting and reconnecting all cables. Remove all cables from the computer, including power, control, mouse, keyboard, printer, network and all other connected devices. Make sure you know where are the cables back! Otherwise, the label.
9. Now connect all the cables under tension and try again.
