Troubleshooting the Motherboard

Mainboard is the largest component in the computer system work. In principle it works the computer receives data input and output out of view from the monitor and the sound from the speakers. If there is damage to the system mainboard needs to be held early diagnaosa cause of the problem so that it can be seen that the problem occurs. To make a diagnosis we can do the following:

* Check the cable connection and main power supply voltage DC cables
* Check the cable connection seta keyboard and mouse monitor
* Checking CMOS system configuration
* Checking all daughterboard or a card that is inserted in the slot I / O
* Check the connection reset switch
* Checking the position of the keyboard keys
* Check all the IC installed on mainboard
* Check the boot disk in drive A

After the checks carried out, hidupakan power switch and post fault. Of the message can be in the identification and then can be repaired. When the post could not walk, then the problem happens on mainboard and set in it. There are several steps / ways to handle trouble shooting in case of mainboard are as follows:

* Repair or Replace

The decision to repair is determined by the level of damage that occurs on a motherboard. Meanwhile, the replacement step depends on the level of technological support capacity motherboard or economic ability of each person in spending computer goods. The problem is what if the motherboard is still comparatively new, while we are not able to detect damage or determine the way out? follow the second step first before deciding to buy a new one.

* Back to Basics!

* Check all connectors. Of course, this step is necessary to ensure that no one else apart connectors or not plugged in correctly.

* Check all components attached. This is important to memdeteksi, if installation processor, RAM, VGA card is correct or not. Also to ensure that the physical IC-IC on the motherboard is not damaged or loose.

* Check incoming power source through a power suplay. To be sure, check the net supply of electric power, then check the output of electricity in power cables using a multimeter suplay. Make sure that the output of each cable is recommended in accordance with the manual.

* Check, is there any foreign objects that interfere with the motherboard line. Wires, screws, dirt, dust can also affect the breath of life motherboards. Such interference, in addition to data traffic is interrupted, if the strategic position could cause a short circuit or konslet.

* Check your jumpers, DIP switches, or the regulator pins each feature carefully and correctly. Make sure that we refer to the manual and do not use the science of recitation. Incorrect settings can make motherboards do not want to live.

* Check your motherboard parts attached to the casing. Short circuit due to the lock without insulation between the casing, the locking screw with the motherboard will make stops every time the electric power button is pressed.

After checking should be done so that improvements can enable a PC again. If there is damage to the Mainboard try to be repaired first, and if that component can not be used just done a new replacement components. Replacement components should be adjusted to the specified capacity and must be in accordance with the standards that have been given

Improve Memory (Ram) Computers Damage / Dying

This time I will share my tips and experiences on dealing with PC memory (SDRAM, DDRAM) that is you think is dead (from not having severe physical damage, such as burnt or damaged / broken), because usually think that I see when the memory is in declared dead by the owner of the PC or by a computer technician will usually be replaced immediately by buying new memory, but memory is still possible to make it in life or work any longer.

I have the following tips to handle memory is considered dead is based on long experience to cultivate the hardware world, with an accuracy of her top 70%, so for example you have 10 pieces of memory, it becomes possible to die 7 pieces can still be in pretty good ... save it. ? we can save money a few hundred thousand utntuk perkepingnya.

Ok, just prepare the memory die, and the equipment needed is Avometer.

1. Clean the memory by way of rubbing memory pins with the purpose of cleaning cloth, may also give a little thinners to clean the dust, and friction with the cloth will also be fishing the ions on the memory pins to tersimulasi more active conductor.
2. Point Avometer the Ohm scale (scale to measure barriers), may be in the position of free 1K, 10K, 100K ...
3. Take the needle negative (-) Avometer (black cable) and then stick to one pin / leg memory, and the needle positive (red wire) friction on the set of legs IC / chipset memory, if memory IC has 8 pieces such as the friction needle (+) into the legs of these ICs 8.
4. Done .... Please try to install it on the memory slot on the Mainboard ....!

Note:
This process is the use of electric current flow from the battery in Avometer tap into the circuits IC / chipset memory. The way this process is working as the Clear CMOS process if Mainboard Mainboard crashes and does not want to live, namely the disruption or blockage in the way that the flow of electrical current is needed to for the activation of a system are not met .... Or as a faint illustration or a comma and then we try to wake up with a way of fishing the nerve-the nerve to active and conscious way in the flush water, the stun and so on.

Hard disk repair affected by Bad Sector

Continuing the previous article "Check the condition of your Computer Hard Disk", this article will discuss about how to improve if the hard disk bad sector affected. If you have not understood what it bad sectors and how to check the condition of your hard drive, then please read the article.

Bad Sector on the disk in general there are 2 kinds, namely mechanical / physical and software. Mechanical bad sector, ie as a data storage disc surface of the disk is physically damaged due to scratches eg, dust, loud impact, and so forth. While software bad sector can occur when the disk is busy sudden death, current breaks and so on.

For Bad Sector in the form of physical damage (mechanical), then it is outside this discussion, because it usually can not (very difficult) repaired. If there's still the best guarantee that the new exchange. But if the bad sectors in the form of software, then it might still be improved. So the discussion here focuses only on bad sectors in the software.

How to fix Bad Sector?
!! .. Important information .. !!

If the hard disk has bad sectors affected are detected, then the first step is to save important data available both in store on the other hard drive, on a CD or copy to another. And before following the steps below ensure that important data is on backup.

First Step: Try formatting the drive or hard disk with bad sectors have common formats, such as through a right click in Windows Explorer and select the format. Sometimes this can eliminate the bad sectors.

If the initial langlah is not successful, can be tried several ways with some of the following free software:

1. Easeus Partition Manager

This free software other than beneficial to create / edit the disk partition (Partition Magic-like view), can also be used to remove bad sectors. The steps as follows:

1. Run Program Manager Easeus partition
2. Select the drive is approximately sectornya bad (to make sure there are bad sectornya can also be scanned through this easeus drive right denganklik Advanced menu> Check Partition)
[easeus-check-partition]



3. Right-click and select Delete



4. When the information, then select "Delete Partition and Delete Data"

Because the hard disk will be in the format entirely, then the hard drive will be in the process should be in the format on another computer (and installed off the other computer). Or if there are 2 hard drives on the computer, the hard disk does not contain windows that can be formatted. Following steps:

1. Run HDD Low Level Format tools
2. Select Notebook to be in the format. Of course that does not contain any windows operating system. Then click Continue



3. Select the tab "LOW-LEVEL-FORMAT", and please read the warning that appears



4. If you're satisfied, then click on "FORMAT THIS DEVICE", and wait until the process is complete.

Burn (burn) CD / DVD that you purchased under the maximum speed listed in the burner software (NERO, Roxio, etc.). Do not believe the maximum speed is written on the label CD / DVD. For although written 52x, but often when analyzed by CD / DVD burner through the burner software, it typically will write the value down. For reading kompatibiitas needs, select burning speed 10x/12x although this course will have an impact at the time of the combustion process. In addition, it also can anticipate when the CD / DVD tesebut device will read from the CD / DVD ROM with the specifications read (read) is lower still widely used.
3. Data Fields Do Until Full

Try to do when filling in until a full, turn the empty space (free space) a few mega bytes.
4. Save In Special Plastic

Once burned / read, try the CD / DVD saved into a special plastic to avoid dust or scratches. Save CD / DVD, dry places and dark, try not to wet or exposed to direct sunlight because it will damage the reflective layer so that the CD / DVD is difficult to read.
5. Do not be Pressured

Do not write label CD / DVD with, try a permanent marker on the label.
6. Watch How to clean

Before input to try to read the CD / DVD cleaning of dust and use a soft cloth used to clean glasses. Avoid using rudimentary tissue or shirt to clean it, this marks the emergence of menguhindari to disk causing the CD / DVD can not be read.

CHOOSING TIPS PORTABLE HARD DISK / EXSTERNAL

If you're like most people, you must have experienced this one. Sensing save to hard drive capacity installed in the computer shrinks rapidly. That is, the faster you lack storage capacity. This is not surprising, considering the video files from YouTube, a collection of photos digital camera shots of the higher resolution, plus exciting applications that you frequently download, edit, and use, continued to increase, while the capacity of your hard disk is not added.

If you have this, the most practical solution is to add a portable hard drive, external alias. Why do we call the practical?
Because not bother to open the casing and connect the cable to the motherboard disk.

Practical, Quick
