Troubleshooting - 11/22/2006

More computer fixin', as usual. Here's a summary of what we went through today:
  1. The computer that would power on for a second and then turned off turned out to be a HUGE mass of dust/gunk clogging up the main fan and the heat sink. Although we didn't know for sure, we decided that the processor and/or motherboard were shot. The woman who owns the computer is going back to the shop that had originally "repaired" it to get her money back.
  2. Ted's friend Karen now has a working Windows ME machine after installing a new hard drive and controller!
  3. Joe and Katie fixed Brenda Pedigo's computer by removing the 600+ spyware files and now it runs much, much smoother.
  4. Brett PASSED HIS PRO EXAM! Give this boy a cracker.

Homework:

  • No homework!
