Problems
Although Steve's PC Repair is in business to solve
computer problems, it is not in your best interests or
ours to arrange a call for a problem that can be fixed
simply and quickly. The following is a list of 5 minor
things to check before arranging a visit:
1) If the base unit or monitor isn't
working, is the power switched on? Are all power cables
securely connected?
2) No monitor picture - is the brightness or contrast
turned all the way down? Is the monitor cable securely
connected to the PC?
3) No sound - are the speakers plugged in and switched on?
Is the speaker cable securely connected to the PC? Is the
volume control turned all the way down?
4) Keyboard error - is the keyboard cable securely
connected to the PC? Is something lying on one of the
keys?
5) Printer won't print - is the printer plugged in and
switched on? Is the printer cable securely connected to
the PC? Are the correct printer drivers installed? Will
the printer print a test page (see owner's manual for
instructions)?
If all else fails, please have as much information as
possible available when you get in touch e.g. what you
were doing when the problem first started, what you were
doing immediately before the problem started, any error
messages that you are receiving, etc. |
