Troubleshooting the Obvious

If your computer won’t go on – check the plug!

Troubleshooting computer problems can be super frustrating – but there are some really easy fixes that people overlook:

• Computer won’t turn on? Check the plug – not just in the wall – but the end that goes into your computer. If that doesn’t work – test the outlet with another device.

• If your computer slows WAY down – check the other computers in your house. If someone else is downloading, watching streaming video or video chatting – your speed will come back when they’re done.

• If the CD/DVD tray won’t open – straighten a paper clip and slide it into the small hole on or near the tray – that should pop it out enough for you to gently pull it the rest of the way without doing any damage.
