Computer Repair Fort Lauderdale

Computers, proper maintenance, reliable computers, last a long time in the year. Computers should last at least a decade or so. Seeing the way technology is headed, consumer technology, at least, we can see that change is constant and rapid. Everything we have seen in a store is out of date before it is to buy, and it is not necessarily a bad thing. However, it produces a lot of unnecessary wants and needs. For example, people now feel if they need four or more gigs of RAM just browsing Facebook properly. But it's not all because of a modest 2.6 Pentium 4 processor and 1 Gig of RAM your computer to do the job just fine. But the biggest secret of the fact that my Dell since 2004. There is still work, but my HP Desktop 2010.

Already the city is laying only half of the landfill? One of the biggest reasons is the metal they use inside the computer type. Have you ever heard the term "lead free", it is a term that we provide products or electronics, which does not have any guidance? While this sounds good to you, the consumer is still a safer product idea sounds fantastic, and I'm sure it will be received with open arms, but it is also very deceptive. The biggest reason is like a weak lead-free metal, compared with the lead material. Melting temperature of lead-free is much lower than the pure lead themselves. And this is where we, as consumers realize that our life with a limited duration has been awarded an exclusive product.

It really is not planned to be the best at aging. The biggest problem is the heat of your computer right now, especially with laptops. Laptops tend to be placed on a bed, clothing, rags, or anywhere else, the user tends to. And if the user has the problem of pet would be only a lot faster. When the laptop is to cover the ventilation, the computer begins to overheat, if it was gasping for air whirring fans. When the computer realizes that it is smothered, it can turn a great time before the heat builds up damaging the motherboard.

The motherboard has a chip that is very sensitive to heat, and it has a VGA chip. Unlike other chip on the board, the chip is held in such places dozens of small metal balls, which serves a dual purpose. These balls are designed for video chip, but also transmit signals and instructions to produce a video chip, across the board. Once inside the computer's heat becomes too intense, the balls tend to develop cracks that cause the video chip malfunction and stop working. With this disorder, when you try to turn on the computer, you will be satisfied with Salt on a black screen or other visual oddities that acting to lock your entire computer system. This is my biggest concern, because lead-free, VGA is the causes of most computers are bad. And it is also the reason why laptop computers since 2005 is still used until today. We hope that something will change, but it looks as though the future toward the pills.

People do not like to work with this huge space in your home holds a quarter of the room a reality. Quite a small dose will be very effective in providing a small decision a big problem. Does laptop remain popular? I think so, because the biggest flaw of the tablets, you are only doing what the tablet allows you to do. That is, if you have the iPad. . . but it is a story the next day. Just give us a background on the idea that we are well aware at computer repair Fort Lauderdale and Broward Laptop Repair.

Internet Security 2012

Internet viruses seem everywhere online these days, it’s to the point where viruses in pop culture are personified by a “worm” that goes around deleting files on your computer and rearranging things.

Where’s the catch in all this? That you’re going to have to pay up big, and what happens when you do pay? Nothing, you get billed with the virus still having your computer in lock down. At this point you are lucky if you can go online or view any if your folders. At this point you’re probably wondering what to do…

First thing is first, call your credit card company and have them cancel and refund your payment. Chances are this fake virus company is getting flagged with numerous complaints already and you may receive a call first. However don’t hesitate and take matters into your own hand and make sure that your accounts haven’t been compromised.

Secondly, how are we going to deal with this virus? Chances are you won’t have the tools or knowledge to properly remove the virus yourself, so you’re going to have to take a trip to the computer repair store.

Very funny story happened to me one day when I was a younger lad, as I tended to jump on my father’s computer every now and then without his expressed permission. He would always warn me as to which sites I can go to and which to avoid but I didn’t care much for danger as I was a brave young whippier snapper indeed.

This was the time where America Online was king and ever other person braved the internet which the infamous dialling sound the computer made whenever you were connecting to the internet. There was very little in the terms of antivirus, and what was there to protect your computer was rudimentary at best.

Most common places people would frequent would be the AOL chat rooms and websites you accidently found through a relatively quick AOL search… the world at my finger tips. Seconds turned to minutes, minutes turned to hours, and hours turned to days.

In retrospect it all seems like such a blur to be consumed by something so new so powerful, it was like an interactive TV which played any show I wanted at any time of the day or night.

I did manage to get myself in trouble here or there but a lot of times it was for gags. One great one I pulled was on good old dad himself, one of my friends had this file that when launched it made it look like your computer turned against itself with every file being eaten by a monster and everything being erased.

And when the fake virus finished its devilish job the screen would go completely green and the words “Have a Nice Day” would transpire on the screen. This in turn made my dad completely freak out and raise his voice which made me burst out in cheery joy.

I laughed as he ran over and I said “I’m just kidding dad!”, and with a swift click everything was back to normal and my life had been spared. That’s all for now everyone and just for the record we are well know for laptop repair Broward and laptop repair Fort Lauderdale

How to Solve the Problem of Overheating Laptops?

For the last 6 years laptops sales exceeded the desktop sales in the world. As a manager of Computer Service Store in Fort Lauderdale, we have noticed dramatically the amount of laptops being used as opposed to regular desktops. In our laptop and computer Service centre, we see every kind of laptop problems like overheating, hard disk crash, screen problem and many more. In general I would say that one of the most common problems in a laptop is the laptop overheating. Excessive heat is the worst enemy of Laptop. The laptop internals, chips, motherboard were built to resist certain temperatures. When those temperatures are exceeded, chips on the board burn out and a serious damage is caused to the circuits causing failure of laptop.

Why regular PC Desktops do not overheat as much as Laptops?

The reason why Laptops commonly suffer from overheating as opposed to regular Computer towers (computer CPU) is the size. Laptops are put together in such a compact case that it represents a challenge to keep it cool. For Computer design Engineers, Ventilation in a laptop design is a main priority.

Latest and new Business Case: HP Dv Series

HP DV series are known for their bad ventilation design. At our computer store, we have seen hundreds of such laptops go bad due to overheating. The bad design in this HP DV series Laptops causes the Video Chip to overheat and go bad. Once the chip is burn out, the laptops stops working completely, also commonly known as the “no image” problem.

How to keep your laptop from overheating?

Your laptop is like a car, you need to service it. Overtime; dust, hair and dirt start building up inside your laptop blocking the laptops ventilation openings. Little by little, the laptop fan and vents are completely covered and the laptop has no way to exhale out all the heat produced by the motherboard components. I will recommend at least once a year, bring your laptop to a laptop service centre to have a Computer Technician disassemble your laptop and clean the internal parts. If you feel comfortable opening and taking apart your laptop, you can go ahead and do so. If you are not familiar with how to do a laptop disassembly, just go online or the laptop’s manufacturer website to download the Service Manual and get started. Cooling pad is one more option for you, but using cooling pad can make you little uncomfortable in handling, as where you carry your laptop you also need to carry cooling pad too. Also one more disadvantage of using external cooling pad is that it makes one USB port busy all the time. Usually the cost of local cooling pad is around $8 – $30.

By doing this you will increase the life of your laptop and in the long run you will save lots of money which can be best utilize in future. Just to give you the background knowledge, we offer this service at our USA Computer Service Centre and we are well know for laptop repair Broward and laptop repair Fort Lauderdale.

How to optimize your Windows XP computer to make it faster for free

We all hate when our computers takes forever to boot up or load a program. In this article I will describe some very useful tricks to tweak the Windows XP OS so it runs faster. First, make sure your computer does not have unnecessary programs running. For example, every time you install new software (ex. Skype, iTunes, etc), by default it places itself in the start-up menu. Every time you boot into system you will see the program running (An icon sitting on the Taskbar, next to time); that means, even though you are not using the program, the program is running and taking up your computer resources. We have to configure the start up menu so only the necessary programs run. To do this, you click Start/Run/ and type”msconfig”. This will bring up a new window (System Co nfiguration Utility) with 6 Tabs on the top. Click on the “Startup” tab to display the start-up programs. Uncheck all the unnecessary programs so they stop running when the computer starts. Remember this does not mean we are deleting/blocking the program, we are just disabling so Windows XP does not have load it. If you want to open the program just click the Program’s Icon. Personally, I always disable every program but the Antivirus.

Once we have disabled the unnecessary programs, I will proceed with what a call illusion trick. If you have not noticed Windows XP loads several visual effects that make interface looks nicer. All this effects (shadows, transitions, previews, thumbnails) take up memory and CPU power from your computers, affecting the performance. In order to optimize the computer/laptop we will disable all this unnecessary visual effects. Click on Start/Control Panel/System/Advanced this will display a list of Visual Effects. Check the option that says “Adjust for best performance” and click apply.

Another cool trick is to change the Start Menu time to display which is called “Menu Show Delay”. To do this you will click on Start/run and then type “Regedit”. This will take you the Windows Registry. Be extremely careful when making changes in the Registry. This is the backbone of Windows, so any change will affect dramatically the windows run. From the Registry Editor, navigate to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control Panel/Desktop. Here you will look for “MenuShowDelay”. By default this setting is set at 400, change this to 200. They change will be automatically saves, just close and restart the PC.

Lastly, there is another setting within the Windows Registry that affects the amount of time that Windows take to load. It is called Windows XP Prefetcher. In the registry go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SYSTEM / CurrentControlSet / Control / Session Manager / Memory Management / PrefetchPara meters and change the value from 3.1 to 5 ( Recommended). They change will be automatically saves, just close and restart the PC.

Applying these four tweaks will increase your system performance by at least 50%. I have been in the business of computer repair Broward for more than 10 years and I have always gotten positive results applying this tricks. The great side is that you can achieve a higher performance without investing any money on increasing Memory Ram or upgrading the CPU. It is completely free and very easy to do. The results are instantly! Next time you are buying a new laptop/Desktop PC or Laptop repair Fort Lauderdale at the store; do not pay a Geek to optimize your PC. You can now do it yourself.
