Laptops are more prone to technical problems than desktop computers. They're also not as easily serviced by the user. If you're not technically experienced, troubleshooting even common problems may leave you feeling frustrated. Types One of the most common problems laptops suffer from is overheating. Also, since laptops are moved around a great deal, they are more likely to be physically damaged than desktop computers. Other problems may include system slowdowns and failure to power on. Also, the ability of the laptop's battery to hold a charge may be reduced by repeated recharging. Types One of the most common problems laptops suffer from is overheating.

Also, the ability of the laptop's battery to hold a charge may be reduced by repeated recharging. Function Laptop components are smaller in size than desktop components. Many laptop components, such as the hard drive, will run more slowly than desktop equivalents. Also, there's less air space inside a laptop for cooling the central processing unit (CPU). Even when in the best of condition, a laptop won't function as well as a desktop computer with the same features. However, if your laptop is running very slowly, emitting loud or strange noises, failing to access drives or becoming excessively hot, it may be malfunctioning. Features Laptop computers have most of their parts integrated together. The viewscreen and keyboard are part of the computer. Also, important features such as the graphics and sound chips are typically built into the motherboard rather than installed in an expansion slot. Many laptops have internal cooling fans installed on the CPU to prevent overheating. Some laptops may also have a fan installed over the graphics processing unit (GPU). If a laptop component fails, the entire motherboard may need to be replaced. Considerations Laptop computers are more difficult and expensive to repair and upgrade than desktop computers. For example, if you have a liquid spill on the keyboard, you won't be able to swap the keyboard with a new one as you would with a desktop. Instead, the laptop will require major repair. Laptop batteries typically have a memory that causes them not to recharge fully when they haven't been completely drained. Also, when a laptop overheats, it can damage the internal components, cause burns and damage furniture. Solution If your laptop is having a minor problem, you can run a full-scale diagnostic with software to find the problem. However, if the laptop has suffered physical damage or won't power on, take it to a professional for repair. |
