Personal Computers are highly prone to picking up faults,particularly after several years of ownership.
If you think you need your PC repaired, its worth checking some of the most common faults and whether theyre repairable. Here are three of the most common PC Repairs.
Power Supply
If youre having trouble getting your computer to start,there is a chance that the power supply has failed.Try switching it on.Check if there are any lights or sounds coming from the computer,such as LEDs illuminating on the main panel, messages on the screen,beeps or fan movement.If any of these happen, your power supply is probably fine. If none of them seem to happen,you may need a new power supply, but its advisable to check it over with a professional PC repair centre.
Hard Drive
The health of your hard drive is very important to the stability of your computers performance.The Windows operating system provides a disk defragmenting utility for scanning and optimising your hard drives storage of files and folders.However, this isnt always enough to guarantee a healthy hard drive.Errors in the boot record, partition table,file allocation table and directory structure can occur if your PC shuts down incorrectly,crashes,or following a power cut.Hard drives can often become irreparable,and backing up is imperative so as not to lose your data. Contact a PC repairs company if youre experiencing difficulties.
Cable Problems
It may seem like a simple fault, but loose cabling can be difficult to narrow down, and hence make diagnosis incredibly difficult for anyone untrained in PC repair. With such a vast arrangement of cabling inside the main tower of the PC, its also very difficult to spot.Luckily,its uncommon, unless the tower has been opened for repair or the addition of hardware. If youre not trained in PC repair,dont attempt to open the tower yourself, as you may cause more damage; leave it to a trained technician.
