Laptops are complicated pieces of equipment but repairing one may not be as expensive as a laptop repair technician may lead you to believe. It is important to carry out thorough research before embarking on a laptop yourself. Ensure that you have a few basic items to assist you rather than making the common mistake of grabbing anything nearby. A Laptop is not an inexpensive item to replace so it is worth avoiding unnecessary mistakes.

This article is intended as a rough guide of tips for laptop repair, there is plenty of information out there on the internet that will help with specific enquiries. Make sure you ask all the questions before you begin to attempt a repair yourself, if you don’t do the research you may be charged more for someone to correct the mistakes that you have made. Should you decide to undertake a repair be sure that you have a good understanding of what needs to be done, if you don’t have the first idea seek professional help.

Before you begin it is sensible to make sure you have long nosed tweezers, an electric static discharge mat, a Teflon wedge, needle nose pliers and Phillips head screwdrivers size 0 & 1. Take a back-up of everything on the hard drive before beginning the repair, just in case. It is best if possible for the repair to take place in a room without carpet.

One word of advice if you are playing around with the LCD the backlight inverter can give you quite a nasty shock if the laptop is powered up. So ensure that the laptop is switched off and unplugged from the mains. It is also sensible to remove the laptops battery and hard drive before beginning a repair.

Obviously if you are a novice to laptop repair you will probably not own anti-static gear like wrist straps etc, if there is a likelihood of you carrying out laptop repairs regularly it may be worth investing in the anti-static gear, rather than killing off your laptop and having to dump it in the rubbish.

When carrying out a repair do not disassemble the laptop unless it is necessary to do so. Try to ensure the environment you are to work in is clean and make sure that you have the correct tools. Before beginning the repair make sure that you test the machine properly, you need to have the correct symptoms to diagnose the fault. If you need to remove any parts of the laptop take care to keep the parts in a safe place where they won’t get damaged. When removing screws keep them with each part they have been taken from, this will help when reassembling the laptop. When fitting the laptop back together use the correct size screws for each part, this will prevent you ending up with screws that simply do not fit the holes you are left with. Before disconnecting connectors make sure that you have had a good look at how they work, it is worth making notes for yourself as you carry out the repair as it will help jog your memory.

“Whenever you buy a computer, you must always consider the most important hardware component – the computer memory.” according to a Computer Medic on Call technician, a Laptop repair service in Fort Lauderdale

Naturally, a system with low memory runs very slow or even hangs up from time to time. Running multiple programs simultaneously can lead to sluggish systems as the memory resources are used up to run the programs which leaves little for reserve. This might even affect other hardware inside your CPU and could even lead to your computer’s total failure. So it is best that you have too much memory than having just enough on your computer system.

Requirements for memory are quite different depending on the operating system you are running. For your operating system to run smoothly and work harmoniously along with the other hardware inside the CPU, you must make sure its compatibility. Windows 98 only required 64k to 128k memory for the system to run at its peak efficiency. But that was a long time ago.

Trends in computer technology never stop and keep on evolving. Therefore, upgrading your computer system is necessary now and then. When windows XP came out to world market, the recommended amount of memory is 256k to 512k with 1GB RAM being the most recommended.

Then new windows Vista operating system has memory requirements that are considerably higher than XP’s simply because there is so much more to Vista than XP. Compared to windows XP, many features of windows Vista had been enhanced for faster and better functionality. There are far many more background tasks to take care of, a more complex UI, and a code base that’s considerably larger than that of Windows XP, all of which need memory. Almost all of it is already being used whenever you boot up a Vista machine with 512MB of memory.

Microsoft and software makers in general notoriously understate the minimum system memory requirements. Try running windows vista with 512MB of memory. Even if vista disables background tasks and neat effects, your system will certainly slow down still. This is for a fact that 512MB memory doesn’t run smoothly in windows vista because their compatibleness is poor. You can get by running a single application, such as IE7 or Outlook, but multitasking is out of the question.

While Windows XP is more tolerable with 512MB, the minimum memory for Vista should really be 1-2 GB. Vista uses a lot more memory and in turn, you’ll need quite a bit more memory to get a similar experience to what you had under XP. If you’ve been tired and annoyed by your computer’s speed performance, why not upgrade? As applications and usage models get more demanding, and as memory prices drop, the move to 2GB or even 3GB of memory makes more sense for windows vista systems.
