I go with siri. Cortana must ve gotten it wrong this time around.
Messi all d way

tunde300us: Did u say engineer ? Nigerians don bastardise the engineering profession with every clown calling himself an engineer.All the best in ur job of making 'engineers' in 1 week.

I actually meant laptop repair technician. Though not correct using d term laptop engineer but its unfortunate Nigerians are used to that.

Me personally not comfortable addressing road side technicians as Engineer cos i know wot it took me to become a graduate of Engineering. But in dis situation is one I can't change.

Thanks for d observantn though

As a computer technician, being a bale to understand the capability and rating of a laptop is very important.
In this order, these are components that determines the rating of a laptop
-processor
-memory
-display
-hard drive

There has being an argument about processor and memory which one determines the speed of a computer. From a professional point of view, both processor and memory together determines the speed of a laptop. Lemme further explain with this analogy.

Building a house
The number of supplier vehicles depends on the memory while the speed of the vehicle depends on a processor.

Low memory and high processor: a single truck delivers all your building materials to your site but traveling at a high speed. 8 different materials are to be delivered to the building site, therefore the single truck travels 8 times on the road to make a complete delievery.

High Memory and low processor: a set of 4 trucks travel simultaneously on the road to deliver 8 different building materials to a building site but traveling at a lower speed. The set of trucks completes it’s the delivery travelling 2 times on the road.

High Memory and high processor: a set of 4 trucks travel simultaneously on the road to deliver 8 different building materials to a building site, traveling at a high speed. The set of trucks completes it’s the delivery travelling 2 times on the road and making all the delivery very fast.

Hope this makes sense.

The processor
Two popular manufacturers of laptop processor for laptops are INTEL and AMD. The type of processor determines the type of motherboard(will explain what a mother board is later, with pictures if possible). So you cant replace and intel processor with an amd processor.
Both processors has their advantages and disadvantages. By comparing the advantages and disadvantages, you can choose the type that best suits you.

Intel produces processors that produces lesser heat and therefore are not easily damaged by overheating. Their processors are rugged and are generally good for high speed calculation tasks.
Their processors are from old Pentium I to IV, the low power core2duo,the very popular dual cores, and the powerful corei3 to i7.
One of disadvantage of intel laptops is that their displays are not as powerful(sharp) as amd displays.

Amd [/b]processor is very popular among the gaming and high power graphic designers. Why amd always produces a sharper display is because it separates the task of display and image processing from the main processor. It usually comes with an additional processor in the motherboard for processing images. The most notable shortcoming in the amd processor is that it always produces large amount of heating and therefore can easily breakdown due to over heating.
How to use amd laptops
- Always make sure the fan is working
- Make sure nothing is blocking the heat sink of the laptop
- Never use on the bed(or pillow)
- Always make sure nothing is blocking the heat sink when the laptop is use.

[b]The memory
The two types of memory available in modern laptops are DDR2 and DDR3.
Ddr2 are found in older laptops while the other is found in newer laptops. Ddr3 are much costlier than the other.
Note: the processor of your laptop determines the maximum size of memory it cant take(address). In technical terms, the processor determines the amount of memory address it can write.
So u don’t say because a laptop uses ddr3 memory, then u load 12g memory to the laptop. It wont work.

The Display
The following terms are used to determine the quality of display of a laptop(phones).
-The Resolution
-Pixel density
-display adapters
-display processors
-high definition displays
-vga, hdmi, s-video
-etc.
Search up the above terms on the internet so you can understand what really makes up a good display.


The Hard disk
Two types are available -
1. SATA
2. IDE
The Sata hds are available in newer laptops while the older laptops uses IDE. The two uses mechanical means in storing information; rotation and magnetism. A large chunk of the hard disk is made up of a magnet. And it rotates to store and pass information(that’s the rotating sound you hear when the system is running). Measured by maximum rotation it can take per seconds.
A more powerful hard disk is in production now, called SOLID STATE hard disks. It doesn’t use magnet and doesn’t rotate. Stores information by electrical means and its very fast.

in this thread(tutorial) you will be learning various tricks and processes, when properly applied will make you a confident computer technician..........
lets go, questions are welcomed.......................



How to boot to safe mode

Understanding the safe mode - this is a mode on a windows computer that allows the computer to boot to desktop with files and software only necessary for the system to start up. This makes it possible that the troubling software doesn’t affect the system start up.
Booting to safe mode - depending on your system configuration, when the system is powered up and still in bios, press f8 or f12. this takes you to boot menu. Select the SAFEMODE option and enter.
NB - most of the graphic and display properties are usually turned off on safe mode. This is why the safe mode desktop background is just dark.
what you can do in the safe mode
-uninstall stubborn antivirus
-manually remove virus
-uninstall a troubling sofreware
-perform system restore
- etc
Using the system restore

The restore tool allows you to restore a windows computer to the state it was at a particular time. What changes the state is usually when new programs are installed or when new settings are applied.

This tool can be accessed from the Accessories folder on the programs menu. But you can easily access this by just typing "restore" when u press the windows start button.
For this to work, the computer must have being set to allow the BACKUP and RESTORE feature.
When the system restore is accessed, you can see the programs installed and date. From there you can choose a date before the program you are suspecting to be causing the instability was installed.

NB - after a successful restore your system should be working fine.

Abagworo: As for the pictures you displayed, we cannot determine age by looks otherwise "Aki" and "Paw Paw" would be called 6year olds. PDP can never win a free Presidential election in Nigeria. Only the less informed do not know that the corpers were killed by PDP in order to deviate the riots and gain sympathy from the masses. Anybody that rigs election should be killed if Nigeria wants to succeed in democracy.
