i am so lucky to be able to see your video, i am tibetan in china,where we have no right to visit website like youtube or facebook,i visit youtube by using vpn,so this video course for me,it's really helpful,all i wanna say is just thank,thank and thank you so much!!!
hey ,if anyone else wants to uncover electronic circuit board repair services try Saankramer Electronic Magazine System (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my buddy got great success with it.
Two different times I took a look at friends monitor problems. These were older computers. Removing and reinstalling the ram got both working again. Something cheap and easy to try. Great vids Eli !!!
I really like the way you do your tutorials. You break down your subject to the basics with easy to understand instructions for the novice user. I am a certified computer technician, and wish I had your people skills. I find myself often trying to explain things to novice customers and lose them quickly due to forgetting that they do not have my skills, and need things explained in a more simplified manner. Well done bud, keep up the great work.
My parents' pc was making a horrible rattling noise, and the screen would go weird colours if you bumped the computer even slightly. I opened it up, and immediately saw that the graphics card fan was split almost in half and full of dust. We had always used this, with a DVI to VGA adaptor, since the onboard graphics wouldn't work. After I removed the graphics card and tried the onboard graphics, it worked perfectly, no rattling. So bear in mind, cheap graphics cards in cheap prebuilt machines can be a major problem.
I live in South Florida and most computer repair shops in my home town charge between $100 -- $300.00 just to look at your computer. They add on charges for parts and labor. Most repairs here end up costing at least $500.00 -- $1,000.00 or more! ELI ROCKS!!
Eli is an amazing guy, Tech, and PC Technician, He has a great attitude, and explains very clearly and distinctly. Sir, my professor is far from being you haha! Respect and Special thanks for your tutorials!!
This is just a very useful video! I had trouble with both my desktop and my notebook recently, and had to figure out stuff. Luckily I had some repair classes, so I managed to fix both computers, but now I'm worried about situations I do not know about and that may happen anytime!
@GSWarrior18 Make sure to unplug your transfer cable. Then take a look inside the USB port. You may have broken off an insulator in there. If you do the computer will freeze up and not boot. If the insulator broke try to just shove a piece of cardboard in the port to separate the top and bottom connectors. Cheers, Eli
Eli, as with other videos, great job. Many of us have gone through mny of these issues in the past, but it is always great to get a refreshing course. Again, I thank you for spending all of your time in sharing your time to help all of the rest of use.
11:29 , this part an about 1 minute forward had me cracking up! Best advice ever! "Don't worry, we're the professionals we know how to handle the sensitive equipment!" *Runs hand over keyboard*
I'm studying for my A+ exam. Thank you for this concise, informative and entertaining class. You pretty much summed up my entire semester in just under an hour. Please keep posting material of similar subjects. :)
@GSWarrior18 It looks like a watch battery and is somewhere on the motherboard. Just unplug the computer, then push in the power button to discharge any stored energy, and then take out the battery for a minute.
Just my 2 cents as 5 year electronics technician veteran in the millitary: Using "known good" parts is aka "Shotgun Troubleshooting". It's the troubleshooting equivalent of taking a shotgun and blasting away at a problem until it's gone. It works great in every situation EXCEPT one - when you have another part that is causing other parts to fail. Say I have a hard drive that just keeps clicking and clicking, computer is BSODing or won't boot...I could put a "known good" HDD in and experience the same problem. That's because the problem is due to the power supply applying incorrect voltages. This method of troubleshooting can get you into major trouble in some rare cases if your power supply is putting out TOO MUCH voltage and frying parts. So you replace the motherboard or RAM with "known goods" and the power supply will just fry them instantly. Now you're out good parts (at your cost) and still have the same problem. Moral of story? In every boot issue (unless there is an error code), always, always, always, always check power first. Always. Always always. Always.... After you know your power supply is good, then Shotgun Troubleshooting is green light for every other part.
I'm from Guyana, the only English speaking country in the Caribbean. I just want to let you know that all of these info (tips) have been a great help to me ,due to the lack of teaching here and because of you i'll be sitting several Comptia A+ hardware base exams (AGE 16). Thanks a lot!
Eli! using info that I learned from you, i have been troubleshooting my mishaps during my first gaming pc build. i wish i could get my computer support tech degree from watching you! thank you for making these videos!
@borashnikov Sounds like you either have a video card problem, or your OS is messed up. It is not your monitor... Try updating the driver for your video card... if that doesn't work try reinstalling your operating system... if that doesn't work try buying and installing a new video card... Hope that helps. Cheers, Eli
@GSWarrior18 From a distance the only thing I can guess is that you blew the motherboard... You might try removing the CMOS battery and seeing if that resets things, or you can "reseat" your RAM, CPU and cards to see if that helps.
Thanks very much for your help. I was a bit daunted at first, not wanting to ruin my computer, but I managed to fix the problem myself (reseating the video card) thanks to your instruction.
Dude - you rock. and you get my second as well as first comment on youtube. Thanks for sharing your time - unbelievably valuable to all of us Cheers fella
An EXCELLENT tutorial - as always! You speak clearly &articulate each word, ur pace is right & you repeat important issues so that you emphasize the importance. You cant imagine how extremely important these qualities are for us who DONT have English as our 1st language!!! I'm sorry I dont always leave feedback but I'm a bit handicapped because of some nerve damage that constantly give pains and already after 30 min things become blurred. Thank u so very much for your efforts! Take care! .anwar.
awesome vids dude!!! you have some really good advice on how to start charging...well proffessionally haha!! ive always fixed computer for other people but didnt really charge that much! thanx for taking the time and making these vids!!!!
Eli, take the widest spackling tool you can find, draw a line above the orange on the wall, place the tool on the line. And paint the orange part of the wall making it look soooooo much better. You are nice enough to share your knowledge; so, thought I would give you a suggestion to improve your environment.
I'm not sure but ,if anyone else wants to uncover electronic repairer try Saankramer Electronic Magazine System (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some awesome things about it and my co-worker got amazing results with it.
I'm not sure but ,if anyone else trying to find out pc board repair try Saankramer Electronic Magazine System (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my mate got great success with it.
hey ,if anyone else wants to learn about electronics repair london try Saankramer Electronic Magazine System (just google it ) ? Ive heard some great things about it and my work buddy got cool success with it.
all you have said is true& good advices espesially about power suply i always do that unplugg&klikk several times on button and see light+Fan spinns cuz there are left ower power some funn things to that makes it easy to learn too. i whant to mention one thing that buying used parts probly only shud be an option if it is indeed a old computer but its used for retro gaming but shud be bught from some one you know that
wow thank you so very much for all the free education we can certainly use for a very long time. Have a very good day. I wish you much success!! God bless A computer friend
A simple wire with two alligator clips is a great way to ground the case without having the power cable plugged in and the kill switch on the power supply turned off. Also, a metal welding table is a good place to do work. They also make standing mats for the floor that are good for grounding.
I don't know how many laptop power supplies i've seen that the wires had internal breaks in them. Investing in a decent multimeter is a great thing for testing that. you can also slowly bend the wire and move along it with your fingertips sometimes and see where the wire bends differently, or even feel the break, but that takes a lot of practice and a good touch.
u said in this vid 2x take the class on how two fix software issues . .but btw u damn rock . i have a degree in pc amin,a+ pc fundamental, and basic programming. coem on u tube get to no other problems i might face on the job . and u teach some real good stuff . might the best techer so far .
Howdy, Eli! Well hey, about a year and a half ago, I found a couple of your videos and went to your website, everymanit-com , and bookmarked it and... essentially forgot about it. Tonight, I was studying for my A+ certification in different ways outside of class material by watching a playlist put together by the one and only professormesser when at the end of a vid, I saw your face and clicked on it and thought to myself, "Eurika! Another great source for info & expertise!" Thanks! Sub'd!!
Laptop motherboards have those button cells for bios retention as well. They are just harder to get to. Some have two 'test points' that can be shorted to reset the password as well. Check for service manuals for your specific hardware.
little thing at about 20 mins in might be worth checking fuse in iec power lead they occasionally do go even with a surge protector i live in london and electricy pretty good over here but when im in ireland dont know if its just that building something is wrong like dodgy ring main etc or if its the area but 3-5 fuses go a year in there 12 pc office
I usually start by opening the case and cleaning the dust out...then making sure all fans are turning...processor...video card fan (if it has one) and the fan on the back of the power supply. It dosen't hurt to reseat all the cables and connectors. I used to be a tech with AT&T and found the first rule of troubleshooting is to do all the easy stuff first.
I've seen ON switched that look fine, but oxidation broke them (breen stuff on copper). So you can just use your screwdriver and make the contact directly on the mainboard (or use jumper)
44:30 -Computer died of second hand smoke..ha ha!..that is so funny.And the other of a catastrophe.Really like the humor in these classes.Good work man!
One thing to note with the No video issues is to also ensure you have know good working ram. Malfunctioning RAM can also cause no video issues as well. When cleaning and checking the heatsink for airflow you may want to also check the thermal paste to the cpu as well and ensure is is in good shape and does not need to be cleaned and replaced.
The first thing i usually do is open the computer and clean out all the dust. And it dosen't hurt to reseat the connectors and cards. Also there's free software you can use to test, such as microsoft memory test. To check the hard drive you can go to Seagate site and download the software to make a bootable disc to test your drive.
There is no specific "Software Repair" class... Basically Software Repair is our entire job... We do have a "Windows Tools for Troubleshooting" and a "Tune Up Your Windows Computer" class. Cheers, Eli
Eli you teach better than my university. This was an incredible video thanks.

Great to see videos based on real life experience and wisdom. Thank you :)
@borashnikov Sounds like you either have a video card problem, or your OS is messed up. It is not your monitor...
Try updating the driver for your video card... if that doesn't work try reinstalling your operating system... if that doesn't work try buying and installing a new video card...
Hope that helps.
