Summary of common laptop errors and simple fixes

Is your laptop having problems that are taking up a lot of your time? This article will help you diagnose the cause and fix it quickly so that your computer can run more smoothly.

Hang up

The main cause of computer crashes is mainly hardware, but sometimes it is also caused by software.

Software : Could be due to virus, RAM or CPU overload, sometimes due to driver error.

Hardware : One of the hardware devices is damaged or malfunctioning such as RAM, CPU, HDD. Sometimes, the computer is not cleaned, which is also one of the causes of the computer hanging phenomenon.

Hot machine

Anyone who uses a laptop is probably familiar with the problem of overheating. Most of the problems are due to the device not being cleaned regularly, causing the ventilation fan to become clogged with dust. The solution here is to clean the laptop. If you don't know how to disassemble the device, hire a repair service to do it for you. The average price for cleaning a laptop today ranges from 50k to 100k.

Battery error

After a period of use, about 2-3 years, the laptop battery begins to wear out or fail. At this time, you will encounter the phenomenon that the battery can only be used for 5-10 minutes and then automatically turns off. Or worse, the battery reports that it cannot be charged because it is worn out.

The solution here is nothing but replacing a new battery. We recommend that you buy a genuine battery, do not be greedy and buy batteries from outside stores. Because after 4-5 months of use, the battery starts to show signs of wear and tear.

Keyboard is faded/peeling

Although laptop keyboards are constantly being upgraded and improved, the phenomenon of blurring due to frequent typing is still encountered in almost all machines. Many keyboards even wobble or come apart during typing, making data entry more difficult than ever.

Your solution at this point is definitely to replace the keyboard. Because this is the only way to solve your problem.

Dead pixels appear on the screen

Unlike a desktop computer that is fixed in one place, when using a laptop, we often move to many places and many positions. Therefore, it is very easy to fall or hit. The most recognizable point after being hit is that the screen has dead spots, which can be black, gray, or white. These are color points that can no longer be displayed, commonly called dead spots.

One method we recommend is to use felt or soft paper to rub around the dead pixels in a circular motion. Doing this regularly can help the dead pixels recover the image. However, if the dead pixels are large and numerous, we recommend that you replace the LCD screen.

Above we have summarized common errors with laptops and how to fix them. Once using a laptop, you should pay attention to maintenance during use. Because laptop components are often small, they are more susceptible to damage than PC components.
