About Computer Maintenance and Support


The Original Manufacturer

One of the first things to do when you get a computer breakdown is to call the original manufacturer of your hardware. They will offer service and support through a phone line. Some of them are notoriously difficult to deal with - so be prepared to weather some bad service sometimes.


Repair It Yourself

If you're feeling adventurous and you have the know-how, you can try repairing the PC yourself. In fact, many vendors now give you a choice to repair yourself according to their instructions.


Outsourcing

This point is more relevant to companies. If you own a business, you can consider outsourcing your computer repairs to a vendor or third-party company. Just be careful in dealing with them - make sure that you write up proper contracts and scrutinize their terms and conditions.


Look for Your Friends

If you have a friend with good computer background and experience, then you can ask them to upgrade or repair your PC for you. I personally help out with many of the PC problems my friends and relatives have.


Remember to Get Names

Oh, one last point. Always remember write down the name of customer support officer speaking to you in a support phone call. You need to reach that same person again if you check some technical fault and need to get back to the company.

Early PC modems were almost Asynchronous devices operating at speeds of no more than 18,000 bps.

Diference between laptop & desktop computer

Most laptop processors are soldered directly in the motherboard, which means they cannot be removed. If there is some error in laptop processor, the entire motherboard needs to be replaced. Laptops processors can be slowed down when they are not running to their full capacity. The processor uses a technique called processor trotling that allows the operating system to put the processor in active sleep mode or shutdown mode. Laptop processors run at reduced clock rate than desktop processors. This helps them to produce less heat when running at full capacity. Laptop processors consume less power which though make them a slow performer but it greatly helps them to save battery life.
