By Ruby Withers


When our computers or laptops malfunction out first reaction is to panic. The next thought is who we are going to take the laptop to for fixing. Technicians are usually the first option. People who lack knowledge on PCs would rather take their laptop for computer repair to an engineer rather than trouble shoot at home.

They usually set and appointment for you to come back and collect you PC. You basically have to put your faith and trust in them and believe that they are honest enough to fix your PC as if it were their own.

People get paranoid if they have to wait too long for the item. They start to doubt he competence of the technician. The integrity and honesty of that engineer is also questioned. Once the laptop is fixed, you also start to question whether you paid too much or not.

It would really help if users would educate and enlighten themselves on how laptops work and what are the signs of a simple virus or how to tell if there is a bigger problem.Learning basic troubleshooting skills can greatly assist you in this aspect. Speak to friends that are IT technicians and who are already studying PC engineering and so on.

Some of the most common problems that can occur are the Blue Screen of Death or more commonly known as BS OD. This is due to some newly installed programs that do not fit with the laptops specifications, and do not forget about worms and viruses which is the most common. This virus problem can be avoided by simply installing a competent anti virus software on the PC and regularly updating it.

This information could prove to be very valuable. This means you do not need to take your PC to a technician for computer repair whenever your PC is giving you a problem, just solve it on your own.
