Common laptop Problem
Common Lapotp Problem
You don’t have to run to the repair shop every time your Laptop ends up with an issue. Many of the Common Laptop Problem have a rather simple solution, and you can fix them yourself with a few simple steps.
To help you troubleshoot common Laptop problems yourself, I have listed 15 most common Laptop hardware problems and what your options are if you face any of them.
1. Notworking USB Ports.
If your USB port stops working, it’s not necessary that it’s broken. Below are some solutions that can fix this issue:
Method 1:-Restart the Laptop
Restarting the Laptop is the answer to many problems, and it is a common solution to USB port problem as well.
Method 2:-Uninstall USB Port Driver
Uninstalling the driver of the USB port will force Windows to reinstall it when you will restart the PC. This may fix the problem. Here is how to do it:
1.Press Windows + R keys and enter
devmgmt.msc in the Run dialog to open the Device Manager.
2.Here, expand Universal Serial Bus controllers option.
3.Now right-click the entry USB Host Controller and then click on Uninstall.
4.Repeat this for all entries with USB Host Controller to uninstall drivers for all the USB ports.
5.Once deleted, restart the PC and Windows will automatically reinstall the drivers and fix any driver issues.
Method 3:-Disable Usb selective suspend
USB Selective Suspend is a Windows power saving feature that suspends unused or idle USB ports to conserve power. Sometimes it could stop a USB port from working. Here is how to disable it:
1.Press Windows + R keys and type
powercfg.cpl in the Run dialog to open Windows Power options.
2.Here click on Change plan settings next to your current plan and then click on Change advanced power settings.
3Now, expand USB settings and disable USB selective suspend setting.
4.Restart the PC to see if it fixes the USB port issue.
Note: This option should be kept enabled if you want to save batter
y power. If it doesn’t fix the USB port issue, then enable it again.
2. Laptop keeps disconnecting from Wifi
If your Wi-Fi is working fine but your PC keeps disconnecting from it, then your PC’s network card may not be receiving full power. Windows has a built-in power saver option that gives less power to the network card. You need to disable this feature:
1.Go to Advanced settings in the Power Options.
2.Here expand Wireless Adaptor Settings and then expand Power Saving Mode.
3.Set this to Maximum Performance.
3.Laptop Beeps
The PC motherboard is smart enough to detect problems and sounds beeps in different rhythms to tell you. Here is an article on what it actually means when the Laptop beeps multiple times.
If the PC doesn’t start after the beeps, then it’s usually difficult to solve the problem yourself. However, I’m going to list down two of the most common problems due to which beeps occur, and thankfully, you can solve them yourself as well.
Problem 1: Out of place Ram
A problem I recently dealt with. If the RAM inside your PC gets loose or out of place, then your PC will beep 2-3 times and won’t boot at all. The solution is simple, open up the PC (laptop users should let an expert handle this) and reinsert the RAM. Here’s how:
1.Take out the RAM completely and clean any dirt inside the slot using a cotton bud.
2.Now insert back the RAM and put enough pressure on both ends to ensure it is fully inside.
3.Now insert back the RAM and put enough pressure on both ends to ensure it is fully inside.
Problem 2: Recently added hardware
A damaged or wrongly installed hardware component could lead to beeps. Take out any newly added hardware components and see if it solves the problem. If the PC works fine afterward, then either get it installed properly or get it fixed (or replaced).
