In addition to being a great afternoon of fun (really!), PC fixes can save you heaps of time and cash. No measure of tomfoolery, cash, or time is sufficient.
Flip the Switch
Switch the power off prior to adjusting anything. This thought to continuously be your initial step, any time you work with gadgets. Don’t for even a moment open the PC case except if the power is switched off. Check to see if you’ve turned off the case’s lights and not just put your computer into hibernation if you see any.
A mechanical switch on the back of many power supply units cuts off power to the device and, ultimately, the rest of your PC. Assuming your PSU has one, go it to the off position.
On the off chance that you’re dealing with a PC, netbook, or tablet, eliminate the battery as well as separate the air conditioner power, prior to eliminating or dismantling anything.
Unplug for Additional Safety
As a second safety measure, unplug the computer from the power strip or wall.
Even if the battery backup itself is disconnected from its power source, be sure to unplug it from there if it is plugged into one. There is probably still power flowing through it, which means that it is connected to your computer as well.
The question of whether the computer was turned off before has been resolved.
Stay away from Smoke and Scents
See smoke coming from the power supply or inside the case, or smell a consuming or patch fragrance? If so:
1. You need to stop doing that.
2. Take the computer’s plug out of the wall. Avoid waiting for it to stop working.
3. Permit the PC to cool or release turned off for something like 5 minutes.
At long last, assuming you know which gadget created the smoke or smell, eliminate and supplant it before you keep on utilizing your PC. If the device is a power supply, especially one that has been damaged to this extent, do not attempt to repair it.
Remove Hand Jewelry
Wearing metal rings, watches, or bracelets while working around a high-voltage device like a power supply is a common way to get electrocuted.
Eliminate anything conductive from your hands prior to working inside your PC, particularly in the event that you’re following through with something like testing your power supply.
Watch for Sharp Edges
There are much of the time sharp edges on individual PC parts and the actual case — essentially, anything metal. Make sure to keep an eye out for these areas to avoid being cut. You can likewise cover edges with something like tape.
Avoid capacitors
Capacitors are tiny electronic components that are found in many PC parts. After the power is turned off, they store electric charge for a short time, so it’s best to wait a few minutes before working on your PC.
Never Administration the Non-Functional
At the point when you run over names that say “No functional parts inside,” don’t accept it as a test or even an idea. This is a significant assertion.
Even the majority of skilled computer repair professionals cannot repair all of a computer’s components. You’ll normally see this admonition on power supply units, yet you may likewise see them on screens, hard drives, optical drives, and other risky or exceptionally delicate parts.
