"i peeled a layer of cat hair off your processor's heatsink, that'll be 20 dollars"
So you need to practice a lot and also backup files from dead windows, try to learn how to use Live USB or CD Redo Backup distro, there a lot of demands in some places, for example, in California, there no cybercafe outside of Los Angeles, so every people have computers, then have problems and don't even know how to fix, you should to make the posters to promote your services to repair computers and you earn a lot of money each customer, they can't be bothered go to Geek Squad from Best Buy because they really suck. Also i found a hot girl in best buy, i don't really speak english lol maybe i should to meet her but the time is out. No way.
i wouldnt trust hot girls in best buy
well, a few times when ive fixed my computer, it involved a lot of guess test and revise by ordering a new part to see if that was the problem or not, and if it didn't work then i'd order another new part.
What am I supposed to do when I tell somebody they need to order a new processor, and then I install it and their computer still won't work? Do I go "well turns out that wasn't the problem sir, lets try ordering you a new motherboard next"? Is that going to have to come out of my own pocket? I'd guess there'd be a few times when I'd totally fuck up and have to pay for something with my own money, but at least I'd learn then
Unless your fan died first the problem is very rarely the processor.
You should to study the causes before to buy new parts, for example, if BIOS goes crazy, so it's Motherboard issue, then a videogame shows a lot of aircrafts on screen, so it's videocard issue... too much to explain, but you should to look up the forums and learn their mistakes
i already know the basics i guess
1) Is bios posting? If no, then
- do all fans and devices have power going to them? If no, then its the power supply. If yes, then its the motherboard
If bios does post, then its fairly simple determining whether or not its the processor or the hard drive from that point on
If graphical elements are distorted, then its the video card
I mean its not difficult but I know there are problems out there that I haven't encountered yet, and I wouldn't know what to do when they finally come along
what do you do when a processor has a bent pin? I had that problem once and I ended up just getting so pissed that I took my processor out to the driveway and smashed it with an axeQuote:

but how often do broken motherboard buses occur really?
the psu has a couple different voltage rails, it's possible that a bad one will still spin up the fans but won't post. you can pick up a power supply tester for like $20 on neweggQuote:

Did you know when i bought a new Intel and i looked Intel heatsink i just throwed it away and i bought coolermaster heatsink, everytime i see cpu temp was 25c-35c for all time, so it was my satisfaction
Fixed.Quote:
