Why Beat Up Your Computer? When you can Upgrade it.
I have customers that have , thrown their computer out back doors, windows, front doors. Toss computer in trash cans and much more. The main thing, you have to have patients when you are working with any kind of machine. Remember this is not a child, where you can tell it what to do, when , how, jump. It ’s always good to call your local computer repair shop, or fix the problem yourself. there are thousand of place where you can buy parts to upgrade your computer if you are willing to do it yourself.
Like ComputerGeeks.com, Tiger Direct, and many more. You can use the web and find a list of places just by typing in computer parts or used computer parts in the address bar of your internet browser. Thousands of venders, internet web shop will be at your finger tips.
Use your local telephone book, for the vender Need you. Never work on a computer when you are angry. You cause more harm than good.
Walk away for a few minutes a hour and so on until you calm down.
For those of you that are new to computers and want to work on them yourself. The Internet, library and book stores are great resource tools.
Here is a good story. One of my customers runs a small business out of her home on a little table in a corner. Well one day, she was doing the laundry in the basement and her little 6 year daughter was playing in the back yard. Well the little girl must have been bored. So she brings her toys into the house and began playing in the living room. Well as the mother tells it. Things were to quite. She came upstairs into the living room to find with shock madness in her eyes. That her little darling, the love of her life was in the middle of the room with mommies computer on the floods surrounded with toys. Mothers little darling got bored and place the computer on the floor with toys. Mommies little darling filled every hole that was on the computer with her own recipes. One cup dirt. One cup water. Two spoon of jelly in the cd drive, floppy and zip drive. I wonder where she got those cooking recipes from. But that was just the beginning. As mommy stop Her. She Was just finish cleaning up the computer with a dish cloth and water, which she poured all over the computer and inside. As mommy tells the story, her darling daughter looked at her and smiled with the following words “Mommy I’m just like you”. The real sad part about this story, the mother got so mad about the computer. That she kept a corner of the basement for three weeks before she called me. In all my years working on a computer. That was the worst thing I have ever seen. And for this person to call me to fix this computer was crazy. When you get mad at you computer, step back and calm down.
