Laptop-keyboard-repair-solutions how to repair laptop keyboard

Steps:  

It works hard, plays hard, and goes everywhere with you. But with all that use, certain laptop parts can wear out. Even systems that still run perfectly well on the inside may suffer from problems on the outside. The most visible signs of aging and abuse are often found on the keyboard; keys may have stopped working after one or two accidentally spilled beverages, or cosmetic flaws, such as rubbed out letters, may have started to appear. But you don't need to replace your entire laptop, just the keyboard.
To find the right keyboard for your system, start by checking with the laptop manufacturer to see if they sell replacements. If not, spare part dealers, can help. This site has an online tool for locating parts. Simply enter the manufacturer, model line, series, and model number of your notebook. (eBay is another good source for new or used parts.) We found a keyboard for our aging Lenovo ThinkPad Z61t for $60.
Depending on the model and age of your laptop, a replacement can cost as little as $20 or as much as $130. Prices vary, so shop around for the best deal. Research a seller's history carefully, and check the return policy before you complete your purchase.
Once you have the replacement keyboard, swapping it for your old one will be easy. The entire process should take only 15 to 20 minutes.

Before you get started, gather these items:

1. Replacement keyboard for your specific laptop model
2. Phillips-head screwdriver
3. Tray for keeping loose screws

How to Repair an Electric Rice Cooker at home

An electric rice cooker is a great appliance that is often used to save a lot of time and effort in preparing quick meals after a long day. By using an electric rice cooker the user can quickly make some rice without worrying of overcooking or burning. Many times people will set up the rice cooker in place of pasta or potatoes as a side dish. Like many electrical appliances the electric rice cooker can have some problems as it ages. There are electrical problems that surface as the appliance gets some age on it. Many owners will simply throw it in the trash and buy a new one. However, with the right types of components a do it yourselfer can easily fix their rice cooker for prolonged use.

Step 1 - Unplug Power Cord from Wall

Before you start to work on the electric rice cooker you will want to make sure it is not plugged into any power source.

Step 2 - Remove Cover

Take the covering dish of the electric rice cooker and place it aside. You will also need to remove the burner plate and inner bowl. This will allow you to get to the inner parts of the cooker.

Step 3 - Remove Base of Cooker

On the bottom of most electric rice cookers there are some tabs, or screws, that hold the base together. Remove these screws, or fold back the tabs, so that you can remove the base.

Step 4 - Test Heating Element

The cooker's heating element may not be working properly. Disconnect the heating wire from the terminal and test it with the multimeter. Set the meter to read Ohms and touch the wire to the terminals. If it reads "0" ohms the wire is fine.

Step 5 - Test Resistor

If the heating element is fine, then the next space to test is the resistor. Use the multimeter again on the same setting and touch the probes to the resistor. If the reading comes out to 20 Ohms then the resistor is fine. If not, then you will need to replace it.

Step 6 - Check and Clean Contacts

Another problem that is associated with older electric rice cooker appliances is that the switch contacts can become dirty or corrode. When this happens they will not allow a solid current to flow when the switch is pressed to star the cooker. With the base removed, check the contact areas. Check to see if they are burned. If so, you will need to replace these contacts. If not, then use some electrical contact cleaner and a clean rag.

How do i connect laptop to tv

Your laptop screen is not the best medium for watching movies on, unless you enjoy squinting at a cramped display, of course. Thankfully, piping digital media - online and off - to your TV has never been easier, so whether you're looking for the right cable to physically connect your laptop and TV, or you want to investigate wirelessly streaming content to your television, you've come to the right place.

What do I need to connect my laptop to my flat-screen TV?

All flat-screen TVs offer at least one HDMI port on the back for connecting to external devices, and the same is true for practically all laptops manufactured in the last five or six years. HDMI is by far the best cabled solution available because not only does it support Full HD (and beyond) signals, but you only need one cable to carry both video and audio from your laptop to your TV.

You could spend a small fortune on expensive HDMI cables, but the truth of the matter is that for HD video transmitted from your laptop, any HDMI cable will do. Lindy is just one company that manufactures a wide range of cables of varying lengths at affordable prices.

Create wireless home network without router

If you have one internet connection at your home that you want share to all your desktop pc ,mobile phone,wifi enabled devices like mobile phones,tablet pc,gaming consoles etc..
The easiest way to setup a wireless network, as we all know, is with the help of a router – just attach a wireless router to your modem and any Wi-Fi enabled gear, that’s located inside the signal range of your router, will be able to connect to the web using that lone Internet connection

Setup Wireless Network without a Wireless Router

Now consider a slightly different scenario – you have all these Wi-Fi enabled devices at home but there’s no router. Well, there’s no reason to buy one because you can still easily setup a wireless network as long as your computers have a wireless network adapter

Create a Wi-Fi Network without a Router

Now that you have everything in place to create a Wi-Fi network, let’s actually build one.

For Windows XP and Vista users

If your main computer, that is already connected to the internet, is running Windows XP, Vista or even Mac OS X, you can set up an ad-hoc Wi-Fi network and the other wireless devices can then connect to the web via this ad-hoc network (also called a computer-to-computer network).

Wired Connection In, Wireless Connection Out

It’s an easy process. To set up an ad-hoc network in Windows Vista, go to Network and Sharing Center from the control panel, select “Set up a connection or network” and choose “Set up a wireless ad hoc (computer-to-computer) network”.

Make sure you select “Save this network” option else the ad hoc network will be removed if no other computers / devices are connecting to the network

mother board repair and troubleshooting

It is difficult to get a piece of technology to work as good as it used to, once it's broken. Which is why most 'repair' procedures stay with hardware enthusiasts, because the best option for most other consumers is to replace it. With that in mind, we look at the resources that we have and try to get the best out of it.

The motherboard is located inside the cabinet and consists of a microprocessor, chipset and BIOS (Basic Input/Output System). The microprocessor decides the type of Central Processing Unit (CPU). The chipset constitutes two bridges: the north bridge and south bridge. These bridges control the flow of data in the computer. The basic functioning of the computer is controlled by the BIOS, which is a real-time clock and a major component of the motherboard. The slots and ports on it connect the computer peripherals like the sound card or graphics card. These slots provide a connection between the hard disk and the computer peripherals.

Troubleshooting a Bad Motherboard

Hardware diagnostics can be a pure pain in the ass. There is literally too much going on in there to efficiently dissect the faulty stuff and repair it. This is why most repair work is usually done by professionals or hobbyists. It takes a long time to get a full grip on handling hardware issues with precision. That said, there are a few common problems with pretty easy solutions as well. Let's have a look at the MoBo (motherboard) itself for any repair options.

Replacing Capacitors
The constant problem of popping capacitors is well-known by professionals and enthusiasts alike. Capacitors are the first thing to blow in a well-built electronic unit. The problem persists wherever a capacitor is used (commonly called the 'Capacitor Plague'). The only option to this is to replace the capacitor with a new one. Spotting a bad capacitor is easy: it's the one with the bulging top and leaking electrolytic goo. Most capacitors expel the electrolytic fluid inside them. It either dries up on the outer part of the top of the capacitor or leaks on to the circuit board. Worst-case scenario, the capacitor explodes due to too much electrical stress. If you see no damage on them, you can still check them using a capacity gauge or a multimeter.

To replace the capacitors, you will need:

a program-controlled soldering station with both soldering and de-soldering irons,
genuine capacitors of the same capacity as the old ones and
experience in soldering and knowledge of the risk involved.

Because one false move and you'll damage the internal circuitry of the board and lose the board completely. You have to de-solder the pins from under the board, take the dead capacitor out, put the new one in and solder the pins back; all in one shot. You need to be extremely cautious about the polarity of the capacitor. If you put it in the wrong way, the capacitor pops almost as soon as you power it up.

Motherboard Component Diagnosis

POST Check With Beep Codes
To diagnose a problem, you need to know where to look. The first stop would be the BIOS POST (Power-On Self-Test). If your computer (not your speakers, your cabinet) makes beeping sounds when you start it up, it means there is a problem with certain part/s on the MoBo. This is good (relatively speaking) because the beeps will directly tell you what's wrong. Pay close attention to the kind of beeping sound (the duration - short or long and the number of beeps). Search online for the 'computer beep code' and you should have found out which component is faulty. This will only work if the parts are on the verge of going down. If something does go down, your computer probably wouldn't start and you'll have to figure out the problem manually.
