\u00a0 Knowing something about laptop repair can really be essential. When you own a laptop, and have used it for some time, it is always possible that something may go wrong with the device. As with any mechanical device, the chance of a failure occurring increases with the amount of time you use the device. In the case of a laptop the fault may not always even be mechanical. The software installed on your laptop could become corrupted, or your system could become infected with a virus.<\/p>\n

Here are some questions I hear all the time:<\/b>
\nHow do you fix a computer?
\nHow do you fix a crashed computer?
\nHow can I recover my crashed laptop?
\nHow can I clean a dusty computer<\/a>?<\/p>\n

In this age of modular computers, laptop repair is easy-at least if you know exactly what you\u2019re doing. Many of the components of a laptop, including even the motherboard and RAM, and even the hard drive, are completely modular and can simply be detached and lifted out of the laptop. This makes laptop repair a very simple job, just so long as you make sure that you understand the manual.<\/p>\n

Another thing that you should do when repairing your laptop is to carefully make notes about where each thing goes as you dismantle the device. It\u2019s better to be safe than sorry, and it is impossible for anyone who is not a qualified technician to remember where all the intricate parts, screws and components that make up the average laptop go.<\/p>\n

If the connector within the laptop uses specific settings, you need to make careful notes of those settings as well. A set of precision tools, such as jewelers or watchmakers use, can also only be helpful. Remember that most parts that fail within a laptop require a simple replacement, and if you can manage to do this yourself instead of hauling the laptop over to a professional, you can save yourself a considerable amount of money in technician\u2019s fees.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s specially recommended that you go in for this considering what I already described of the essentially modular nature of laptop components. Why should you pay a technician to do a job that essentially consists of no more than simply undoing one or two and catches, and lifting out one component and replacing it with another. This is essentially what much of laptop repair today consists of.<\/p>\n

The takeaway is to utilize the Hardware Maintenance Manual<\/a> and\/or Diagnostics tools<\/a> available to you for your system. Read the manual, watch videos, etc to become familiar with the process of laptop repair.<\/p>\n
