How We Fix Your Computer Problems
It was a Busy Day!
Mondays are usually our busiest day and today was no exception. I had 4 PC’s to fix by the end of the day. I started with the Sony VAIO, it had the “blue screen of death” problem. Lucky for me, I had seen this error code before and knew it was the wireless NIC card. I replaced the card with an external usb device and no more “blue screen of death”.
The second computer I got to was a dell desktop. It would not power on. We had a spare power supply lying around so I hooked it up to the PC. It worked perfectly so I had to remove the old one and mounted the new one.
Third PC was an Acer laptop. It was having problem with it’s built-in wireless card. I hooked a wire to the ethernet port to see if it was a firewall on the laptop. The wire tested fine and I also did a virus scan. The virus scan was negative so I disabled the internal wireless card and connect a PC card. After several minutes of streaming audio test, the new card was the cure.
Fourth PC was also a laptop but this time it was from Gateway. The power would not turn on whether it was plugged or on battery. Checking the power cord, we quickly found the problem. A segment of the wire was stripped thus no power was going through it.
