Step Easy Maintenance

Understanding Maintenance

Maintenance is a Maintenance of a goods or the other so that his performan maintained properly. Maintenance on the Laptop / PC itself is divided into two:

1. Maintenance Hardware

2. Maintenance Software

1. Maintenance Hardware

Maintain the performance of the hardware easier than software because of what happened appeared in sight. Do not need the help of software. What is important to maintain the cleanliness of the Laptop / PC from dust.

And not only was there an easy way for hardware maintenance such as:

a. Keeping ambient temperature, do breathing using a laptop on a mattress or pillow. Things like that really affect the temperature. Because sirkulasasi air coming out of the laptop is not running perfectly.

b. Clean the keyboard from dust, no need to remove the keyboard from the mainboard only clean the surface using a brush cleaners that we can buy at the store acesoris laptop.

c. Smoke, smoke can also damage electrical components. Reduce smoke when using the laptop / PC. It is advisable not to smoke while using the laptop / PC.

d. When latop / PC overheated advised to use an additional fan on the laptop / PC.

2. Maintenance Software

Maintenance of this software can not be seen with the eye, that can not be visualized as it wrote. So if you want to know the laptop / PC we have problems in the software with how you feel about the current usage Prominent laptop / PC.

Some easy ways to maintain software such as:

a. Maintenace disk (disk defragment and cleaner). Disk defragment to organize files in a neat and self-contained, while the cleaner used to clean the disk of metabolic waste the rest of the performance of the laptop / PC.

b. Regularly clean the Recycle Bin.

c. Tidy up the files with the appropriate content categories. By default the files that we download is stored on local disk (c). It is advisable to move the downloaded files to a local disk (d).

d. Windows Update and antivirus.

Overcoming Laptop Easy and Dead Heat

In the problem faced by the author which is a laptop that is easy or fast heat and then die suddenly, in addressing this issue first do is to check which parts pengalami hot unnatural, on laptops that are experiencing this problem, namely the processor and air circulation of fan that the condition was having a little problem and still be able to function but less normal.

The first thing to do is unpack all the components of the laptop, after which the entire main board of component parts cleaned with caution in order not on component is small, then on the air vents in the clear fan headshink also loosened dirt until it is gone.

Fans Headshink dirty

On the processor replacement previously pasta dried pasta.

Pasta in Processor Dries

Basically, this kind of problem often occurs due care less than the maximum, in theory and experiences, such problems are too many factors that cause the laptop to get hot and the dead, such as:

1. Limit Exceeded Laptop Capabilities

If the laptop's heat has exceeded the threshold, then the laptop suddenly stops working. This usually occurs because the air circulation inside the laptop on a mattress, pillow, blanket or lap of the thigh is a common error that caused this to happen often.

Solution: Use a flat plane and loud when operating a laptop. This is to keep the reduction of circulating air in the laptop can run well. If terpakas had to operate the laptop above the mattress, use a hard material as the base. But if you must use the laptop for a long time, plane and hard is not enough, you must use a cooling pad, as this will help accelerate the dissipation of heat in your laptop.

2. Troubled RAM Memory

Troubled RAM

Solution: Clean RAM using pencil penghaus, clean the copper yellow of RAM. Rub gently on the section to clean the dirt off. And replace the RAM in place and feel the difference.

Adding RAM capacity is also very good for reducing hot laptop. The greater capacity of RAM which is owned laptop, the more light the laptop's performance, air panaspun the less produced.

3. Operating System Problem

When the laptop failed to execute a program or the crash occurred on the program, one of the consequences laptop power shutdown or restart again.

Solution: The solution to this case, staying just reinstall the operating system of the laptop. But you have to keep wisely, adjust the operating system that will be installed to the specifications of your laptop.

4. Mainboard Damaged

Mainboard problematic

Solution: Replace with a new mainboard is damaged will soon solve the problem. But the price is quite expensive mainboard should be your consideration. Because with a little supplement the money you can buy a new laptop.

Diagnosing Problems at Laptop

Theory Support

Before diagnosing problems on the laptop to note is grievances experienced by the laptop was whether software or hardware problem occurs, some theories can be supported to optimize the performance of the laptop.

Distinguishing Damage Hardware and Software

How to recognize when software gets damaged? How to distinguish the damage hardware with software malfunction? It is not easy to distinguish between damage to hardware and software if the technician beginners. In cases of damage following are some of the exact same symptoms with hardware damage. As the guidelines are very simple there are several types to detect whether damage to hardware or software malfunction.

Know Damage Table For Hardware and Software

Symptoms that Appear	Damage
Laptop total death	Hardware
Laptop alive but no display	Hardware
Bios appear next in no display	Software
When booting will get into windows, Laptop instead restart	Software
Laptop shows ringing and beeping sound	Hardware
Laptop alive then dead again	Hardware / Software
Laptop overheating	Hardware / Software
Laptop restarts itself	Hardware / Software
Certain programs may not work	Hardware / Software
Music does not work	Hardware / Software
Blue screen appears	Hardware / Software

Damage Software

Damage to the software that is experiencing severe problems then the thing to do is reinstall laptop for every software has minimum requirements or installed applications can be operated optimally. Not only application, the OS (Operating System) also requires specific hardware with appropriate advice required by the developer or enterprise OS.

Minimum hardware specifications to install OS

Operating system	Specification
Windows Xp	1.      Processor: Pentium III 500 hz. 2.      Memory (RAM): 64 MB. 3.      CD-ROM: 35 X. 4.      Hard drive: 5 GB. 5.      VGA card: 16 MB. 6.      Monitor: VGA, 512 color.
Windows 7	1.      Intel processor with a speed of 1 GHz (32 bit or 64 bit). 2.      Space is still tersisah hard disk at least 16 GB for 32-bit and 20 GB for 64-bit. 3.      Direct X9 graphics card.
Windows 8	1.      Processor 1Ghz 2.      32-Bit Version 1GB RAM 3.      64-Bit RAM 2GB 4.      DirectX9 graphics card 5.      Monitor resolution 1366 x 768px

The hardware specification is intended to computers that installed the OS can work with the maximum. Perhaps Windows be installed on hardware that is less standard (according to specifications required) but we can be sure the computer and the applications on it not to run perfectly. Maybe a slow running computer, some features of the OS and the application does not work on. Therefore look and prepared in accordance with the needs of the system hardware is very important that the OS or software can be applied properly.

Hardware damage

Noteworthy in the hardware issue is the damage suffered by all components of the laptop, what are the signs of damage and the part that has the problem, you could say in the management of the hardware is more difficult to go directly to the source of the problem, especially if the laptop is totally dead, blank, or of surge on the mainboard.

The first thing to do in handling a hardware problem is to know what is the cause of the damage, in most cases can be detected by listening to the beep sound that comes out of the laptop, how many "beep" sounds.
