Computers / How To Fix Commom Laptop Problems by laptops4u(m): 7:36pm On Nov 19, 2008
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, 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.

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.

Laptop Cooling Fans

Laptop cooling fans can help protect your laptop computer from overheating. Chances are that your laptop already has one or more installed. However, there are many other cooling options that you can use to increase your comfort and to protect your laptop.

Types
There are two basic types of laptop cooling fans. One is installed inside the computer, near the central processing unit or graphics processing unit. The other type is a stand or pad that contains a fan. Internal fans are essential for keeping your laptop from melting down. Laptop cooling stands and pads are optional. If you run your laptop for hours at a time, they can be a wise investment.

Benefits
Laptop cooling fans can not only protect your laptop, but they can also protect your lap from being burned. They can also help to prevent heat damage to your furniture. A laptop stand or mat can place your computer at a more convenient and ergonomically correct position, preventing neck and back strain.

Considerations
Heat can damage components, as well as shorten the computer's lifespan. By getting proper cooling for the computer, you will save more than you spend over the long term. However, all laptop cooling fans are not created equal; cheaper ones may break easily.


Solution
Check shops for cooling stands. Many cooling fans are very inexpensive, yet effective.

Technology Market / Fairly Used Laptop Shopping Tips by laptops4u(m): 6:15pm On Nov 18, 2008
Fairly Used Laptop Shopping Tips

Online shoppers can save a lot of money and avoid needless hassle by following these tips before going for Secondhand Laptop.

*First consider the technical support offered by the seller. Because most Laptop problems tend to occur in the first six month, a Six-month warranty becomes very vital indeed. Therefore, users must focus on which PC maker or Laptop Seller offers the best technical support.

*Don't purchase additional software unless you dearly need it. Buy an operating system(Original) and of course an antivirus package. Regularly upgrade the operationg system. Check out for connectivity up front.

*Don't get lost in search of surfing price reductions. If you require a new Laptop now, don't wait for several months to see whether prices will go down further and if upper-end performance will enhance. Some shoppers find themselves getting stuck in an endless price-drop waiting game. Instead, you make up your mind when you require the system and go for it.

*Purchase above minimum level of specification for the longer useful life span. If longevity is precedence and if you can pay for it, get something nearer to, but just below the current top of the level. This will pull out the useful life of your PC system.

*Check out an LCD monitor's interface. Depending on the brand or model of LCD monitor, it could possess one of several interface connectors - the part that plugs into your PC. These include the proverbial VGA and the finer DVI connectors. If you are purchasing non-bundled display, ensure it will operate with the system you require or that includes at least a money-back guarantee.

*Upgrade at the time when you purchase the system. Often, you can get a hold of a better deal on a larger hard drive or a better monitor when you go for the first order of your computer. Even going for upgraded size of a hard drive may add very little to the overall cost, and upgrading to a higher-quality monitor may be inexpensive.

Technology Market / Is Your Laptop Speed Soooo Slow? by laptops4u(m): 5:52pm On Nov 18, 2008
Is your laptop speed soooo slow? Or, maybe it is freezing (locking up), rebooting without reason or perhaps you are getting the deadly blue screen.

Here are some possible reasons:

* Windows Registry Problems

* Not enough memory for all the applications you want to run.

* Experiencing hard drive problems

* Poor internet connection speed

* Virus, adware, spyware

* Processor speed

* Speed of graphics card


To fix your slow laptop problem you first need to identify exactly what is slow. First question to ask yourself is; "Has it always been slow?". Did you consider it slow the day you bought it? If so, maybe you just purchased a laptop that was undersized for your needs. It may be as simple as you just need a laptop with a faster processor speed or more memory.

Technology Market / Can You Leave Your Laptop On All The Time? by laptops4u(m): 5:40pm On Nov 18, 2008
Laptops are useful tools. You can take them with you almost anywhere you want to go. Using a laptop, you can connect to the Internet at a cafe, library or hotel. However, laptop computers are sensitive instruments. Just like desktop computers, they can malfunction if they're not treated with care.

Effects
If you're planning to leave your laptop on for more than an hour, you should have the power management set to place the computer in sleep mode after just a few minutes of idleness. You should also use a laptop cooler, which is a specially designed stand that contains a fan to dissipate heat as it's produced.

Features
A laptop computer contains all the same components as a desktop computer. These include a central processing unit (CPU), random access memory (RAM) and a hard drive. However, there's less air space inside the unit for cooling. Laptops usually contain fans and heat sinks to help keep the processor cool. Also, most laptops come with a battery and an adapter that can be used to run the laptop directly from an electrical outlet. The adapter can also be used to charge the battery.

Benefits
There are very few benefits to leaving your laptop on all the time. You may gain a little time because you don't have to boot the computer's operating system. Also, you may save some time by leaving programs loaded in memory. However, these savings, too, will be minimal. You will save more time by shutting the laptop off each time you're finished with it, since shutting down clears the computer's memory.

Considerations
While it's possible to leave a laptop on all the time, it isn't a good idea. Leaving the unit on for days at a time can also cause problems with memory. Some operating systems keep programs in memory even when they've been shut down. As you open and close programs, the computer's RAM becomes choked with data. The only way to purge the memory is to shut the computer off and leave it off for at least 30 seconds before turning it on again. In computer terminology, this is called a cold boot.

Warning
Laptops tend to run hot because the components are installed inside a very small case. Over time, the heat generated by the computer can cause irreparable damage to its circuits. Also, leaving the computer plugged in all the time puts it in danger of being subject to a power surge. This can not only damage the unit; it can also cause you to lose your data. To be on the safe side, use a surge protector with your laptop computer. Turn it off when you're done with it and disconnect it from the power supply.

Technology Market / About Fairly Used Computers by laptops4u(m): 5:19pm On Nov 18, 2008
You can save a lot of money by purchasing a used computer rather than a new one. Depending on when it was built, a used computer may have many of the same features as a computer purchased off the shelf. However, there are many things you need to consider when getting your computer secondhand.

Function
A used computer may have a slower processor, less memory and a smaller hard drive than a new one. If the computer doesn't have all the features you want, see if it can be upgraded. Don't be put off by a few dings on the case. However, always check a computer to see that it's functioning properly before purchasing it. Also, see if you can find a refurbished computer from a professional seller.

Time Frame
If the computer is more than 4 years old, its processing power may be half or less that of a new computer. This is because newer computers often use dual or quad core processors, which is like getting two or four processors all in one. Also, older used computers may have obsolete operating systems, slower CD- and DVD-ROM drives and less-sophisticated graphics processors. Never purchase a computer that's 10 years old or older.

Benefits
Often it is less expensive to buy a used computer than to get a new one with the same features. Also, since computers are modular, you can buy two used computers in less-than-perfect condition and consolidate them to make one that works well. You can get a used computer from a secondhand shop very easily. A cheap, older secondhand computer is best for children, the elderly and others whose computing needs are light.

Considerations
Buying a used computer is not for the uninitiated. A certain amount of tech-savvy is required. You should have a basic understanding of the inner workings of the computer. There are many things that can go wrong with a secondhand computer. If you've never built or upgraded a computer before and the thought of opening the case frightens you, you might want to pass on the opportunity.

Potential
That used computer may not be all you want it to be right now. However, most computers upgrade well. The first two things to consider upgrading are the memory and the graphics card. These two improvements will make a significant difference in the performance of your computer. Replacing the hard drive or adding a second one also can boost a computer's performance. The best way to approach upgrades is to do a little at a time. Buy one upgrade and give yourself time to install it. This way, you'll save money and give yourself plenty of time to complete each task.

Technology Market / About Networking Computers by laptops4u(m): 5:03pm On Nov 18, 2008
A computer network is a group of computers connected wirelessly or by cables. A network can consist of two computers in a home or office, or an almost unlimited number of computers across the planet. Special hardware and software is required to connect to a computer network.

Type[/color]
[color=#000099]Most homes and offices use a small-scale Local Area Network (LAN) for their networking needs. Many businesses also use an Intranet, a private network that uses TCP/IP protocols to securely transmit information through the company. The internet is a global, public Wide Area Network, also often used for private purposes.


The Facts[/color]
[color=#000099]In order to set up a small home or office network, you will need a router and an access point for each computer on the network. This is true regardless of whether the network is wired or wireless. For a wired network, you will also need a long ethernet cable, as well as cables to connect the router to the modem or computer. Wireless standards include Wireless B, G and N. Wireless G is about 5 times faster than Wireless B, and Wireless N is about 12 times faster than Wireless G.


Benefits[/color]
[color=#000099]With a home network, there's no need to download files separately to each individual computer. Instead, you can access files remotely on each connected computer. Printer and Internet sharing obviates the necessity of multiple, redundant printers and high-speed connections. It's also possible to play games with other users across a LAN. Each gamer sits at his own separate computer console, eliminating the need to take turns.
Wired networks have the benefit of greater security. Wireless networks offer greater ease of use. Wireless N networking technology is backward compatible with both Wireless G and B standards.


Risk Factors[/color]
[color=#000099]With a wireless network, you run the risk that transmissions will be picked up by others. Also, unauthorized users may log into your network if you use your router's default username and password. If you have printer and file sharing enabled, this may result in malicious or careless users causing damage to your computer's files.
