some home-made troubleshooting.....

Now I am going to discuss about some troubleshooting techniques which are really funny in some

aspects but very effictive at the same time(at least it works for me)....
I am not a expert at truobleshooting but over this few years my PC had two of this very common

problems which I learnt to rectify(one all by myself and the other from my brother).

To tell you the truth they are so childish that I am really ashamed to write about

it..nevertheless let me tell you...



1)
(this is the funny one...and if you find it childish plz comment on it and I will delete it)
All of you have probably come across those CD-s..which the CD-drive take all eternity to read

and never stops reading it....yes it is really frustrating ...more when you are in the middle

of something really "good" and even more when you find they are not so much scratched compared

to others the rom had read and run..
Ok this is my part of troubleshooting(i never discovered how it happened and am not sure if it

will work with you)..leave the cd in the drive and restart the machine...and believe me it

works for me most of the times...

2) Have you ever had this problem??when you start your machine the moniter's indicator keeps on

blinkng but never "lights up" and the hard disk keeps on "spinning" i.e.,reading but doesnot

boot...a alternate way to have this problem is while your machine is on the computer hangs and

after you press the restart button the above mentioned incident happens....
There may be many 'valid' reasons for this( which obviously i am unable to explain)...but in

most cases the reason is a loose RAM..
Before getting tensed what to do nad call a mechanics who will charge you for repairing almost

nothing try this ..what you got to do is open up your cabinet,'pluck' the RAM from the

slot,clean it with a 'eraser' and place it tightly on slot again and restart your

computer...this should work if it doesnot go for a mechanic then...

This should for you as it did for me...my machine hadn't much problem thus disallowing to learn

troubleshooting...hope this helped you ..please leave your comments whether its compliment or

criticism...
