DIY PC repair
Wednesday, October, 28, 2015
Hey all, Jordan here with another Awesome English report. So it’s a fact that computers are reliable, but things happen and parts go bad. This was the case with my own laptop, which is 3 and a half years old now.
I noticed the system’s clock began slowing down and this was apparently due to the CMOS battery failing. This battery will keep the CMOS powered and enable certain things to be saved, such as the system time, but also boot settings and what have you. Eventually, the battery died and every time I started my system it beeped and the only course was to turn it off, turn it back on, and then have it be the default settings. I wasn’t going to stand for this for long, so I went shopping and no computer stores had the right battery. The next step was Amazon. They had it for about 630 yen, so I ordered it, installed it, and all became right in the world once more.
A computer store would totally rip off customers and probably charge 5,000 yen minimum for a 2 minute job like this. If you can do something yourself, do it.
