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
