There are a hundred ways that you can damage your laptop. You might accidentally drag it to the floor, pull the power cord, or even sit on it. In these situations, it would be highly necessary to find a way to fix it quickly and effectively. Explained in this article are several laptop problems and ways to deal with these to help you do a quick troubleshooting process by yourself. Basically, the first step in troubleshooting computer problems is to diagnose the source of the problem through a trial and error procedure.
One of the most common laptop problems are broken laptop keys. One or a couple keyboard keys get chipped off by and large, especially if you have been typing on your laptop vigorously for several years. You can simply replace the broken key and put it back to its right position. Strong glue can be used to put the broken parts together. Alternatively, just order a new key from online stores such as eBay and Amazon. You can also opt to replace the whole keyboard. Ask help from a friend if you're not certain about how to do it.
Another common laptop problem is a broken hinge. At times, it's not really a difficult problem to fix. You can try removing the tiny plastic covers of the screws holding the hinges and screen in place. Then, use an appropriate screw driver to tighten up the screws. If you can't seem to tighten the screws, you may have to bring your computer to the repair shop so that an expert technician can fix it properly.
If your problem is related to a screen that doesn't show any display, trace the main reason why the screen is blank. Try switching between monitors by pressing the Fn key, then F1 and F12 keys. You will see an image of two monitors. Your computer's settings may have been adjusted to output to an outside monitor. Next, try plugging in another monitor. If your laptop shows display on the other monitor, then your problem is your laptop's defective screen. However, if it still does not work, the video card might be faulty. Be sure that the screen brightness is adjusted to a normal level so that it doesn't appear too dim. If you have tried this but the brightness still does not increase, there might be something wrong with the back light so you'll have to replace it. In this case, it's important to hire a computer specialist to avoid damaging your laptop further.
