| + | Sometimes accidents happen and liquids and foods enter the keyboard. The initial step is to blow off the tilted to one side and spray with a can of compressed air starting at the top of the tilt and working your way down. In addition the keys may no longer work due to normal use. If the keyboard does not respond after cleaning then replace the keyboard. |
| == Computer Will Not Power On == | |
| === Hard Drive Error/Failure === | |
| + | The hard drive in the computer may have an error(s) on it. One cause of this can be improper “forced” shutdown usually involving holding the power button for 5 seconds or more, as well as power outages. Another issue may be a defragmenter or spyware cleaner might have wiped important Operating System files. You can attempt to resolve this issue by obtaining the DVD for the OS that is currently installed on the computer. Boot to the DVD choose “Repair your computer” click next and select “Startup Repair”. This may a long time to complete depending on the size of the drive and the speed at which it reads information. If this does not resolve booting issues you may need to replace the hard drive. |
