Mac Book Overheating

Mac Laptops/Desktops in general become more susceptible to getting overheated while being used for long hours like playing video games, the streaming of videos, and squeezing of internal components into small areas.

Solution to Overheating

If your Mac Pc or Mac Book shuts down while working, it may be due to random overheating of the system in use. These issues are resolved by reducing the prevailing use of the system or exposure to rising temperatures in the parts that degrade the ultimate performance.

Steps For Preventing Overheating Issues

Elevate/ lift your laptop in caseof excess heating problems.It's always advisable to lift your Mac Laptop using a Griffin Elevator (costing approx.$35) which comes with an aluminum frame to matchtheMac Book'ssimpledesign.
Avoid Soft surfaces. If the elevation procedure does not help, please place it on a hard surface rather than a softer one to prevent excess heat absorption.
Don't Use a FanControlling Software. The Fan Controlling Software usually increasestheheat generated while using and system needs to cool down. Hence, it is not advisable to run the Fan Control Software in such cases.

Mac Book Spilt with Liquids

Modern Mac Pro laptops generally have a longer charging potential.Theremaybe some scenarios where the system,wouldnot work after all the hard work. Considering the importance of electricity, overcharging your Mac Laptop can cause irrecoverable problems. Avoid placing laptops on smooth surfaces rather than the hard ones.Ensure that you don't overcharge thelaptop's battery lest it may either not work or cause overheating of the system used.

Some of the general issues faced by customers on their laptops are as listed below:

Laptop Set-up and Repair: Laptops start to run slower than usual. Gets excessively hot while charging.
Hard drive replacements: Hard Disk is the data center ofyourPC.Generally thehard disk differs inSize, Speed and Permanence(i.e.usually fixed in the PC and not removable.)

Depending on the availability of space and memory, there have been some problems related to BIOS Upgrades, Enhanced BIOS expandable

BIOS Upgrades

Each and every hard disk presented to BIOS explains that the BIOS have cylinders, heads and sectors for storage. With the availability of storage in hard disk, alongwith standard BIOS routines, there arise two standards to allocate bits for storage:

Standard	Bits For Cylinder Number-	Bits for Head Number	Bits for Sector Number	Total Bits for Geometry
IDE/ATA	16	4	8	28
BIOS Int 13h	10	8	6	24
Combination (Smaller of Each)	10	4	6	20

Laptop fan replacements

Limited storage space and less ventilation cause the heat to go up quickly in a laptop. Hence, in these cases, we need to follow certain steps:

Follow the manual provided when and in doubt.
Turn off the laptop and unplug it.
Remove the battery, CD Drives and the hard drive. Turn the laptop face overand remove thescrews on the bottom that hold the keyboard in place.
Unplugthe laptop fan.
Apply the thin layer ofthermal compound on the CPU and then replace theheat sink and fan.
Plug the laptop and switch it on.

Laptop Screen Replacement

Laptop screen replacement could cost you twice than buying a new one. Do you think so? Perhaps not! The laptop screen replacement would require the user to follow certain techniques to avoid such crucial issues:

Remove the Screen bezel. All laptops if charged up, would need to be disconnected from the ongoing power supply. We need to examine the bezel around the screen for the gravity of the issue. In order to remove the bezel, you would need to remove the screws that hold the LCD Panel in place.

Once the screws have been removed, a thin metal blade comes handy. With the help of the Blade, it's advisable to ensure that the rounded corners are pulled safely with a plastic spudger. The Bezel now simply snaps onto the lid to be strongly placed with a double sided tape.

Anyhow, the bezel needs to be removed. Next, remove the Broken LCD panel. With the help of LCD's mounting brackets, exposed, remove the screws next to the lid. Now place the laptops front side down on the case, remove/unplug the cable.

Install a new LCD Panel, once the new screen matches the panel in repairs. After all the sides fit accurately, connect the new panel to the cable, position the panel in the lid and secure the screws loosely pointing out. The LCD Panel is ready to be tested and reinstall the bezel.

How do we repair the Logic Board?

All laptops and Mac books have inbuilt or externally removable motherboards. Once the motherboard of your laptop or the logic board of your Mac system gets errors, it’s assumed that the motherboard is faulty and needs to be replaced. We, as technical experts, first diagnose the cause of the error and then identify the solutions to that problem.

If we find the fault in the motherboard/logic board, we will replace the logic board, else, the defective parts are identified and replaced. Next the spare parts are pre-heated for defective component identification. The board will be cleaned by an ultrasonic cleaner for removal of all accumulated liquids or dust or other such materials.

Booting Problems

Boot sequence is the foundation for the booting of a system. POST does not rely on the type of the Operating System. In fact, there is no need for an Operating System to be installed for the POST to run. The reason behind is that system is handled by BIOS and not the Operating system.

This test checks the basic devices present for accurate working of the peripheral devices and other hardware elements like processor, storage devices and memory. Computers booting happens only after the POST becomes successful. Problems such as windows’ hanging during startups or otherwise can appear after the POST. If the POST is unsuccessful, the device shows an error of some kind.

POST (Power on Self Test)

An acronym for a diagnostic test performed for computers running after, it has been powered on. The concept of POST is not limited to, computers, but also, to other medical equipments.

SYMPTOMS OF THE POST (POWER ON SELF TEST)

POST symptoms can come in various forms such as

Errors in flashing LED's,
Audible beeps,
Error messages on the monitor, and so on.

POST Codes get displayed only when the /a monitor is plugged in. If the messages are something other than POST Codes, which come as a wrong display, then the motherboard or the video card is faulty.

Other usual Complaints faced by customers

Blue Screen: Blue Screen errors arise when Microsoft Windows encounters a critical error from which it cannot recover. This results from either slow level software (or Drivers) or crashing of faulty hardware. Blue screen errors occur when your computer's hardware or hardware driver's software's becomes faulty. At times, it can also arise due to low level software running in the Windows Kernel.
When does the Blue Screen Error Occur?
A blue screen error occurs when the system Windows encounters a "STOP ERROR". The failure causes the Windows to either crash or stop working. The only thing that would keep the system running is the Restart option. But be careful! The data loss could happen as the system could not save the files in use or data in open mode.

The Blue Screen Error automatically helps. Windows to create a "mini-dump" file that contains all information about the crash and saves it to your disk. You can easily view this file to identify the cause of the error. Blue Screen Errors could differ from system to system. In Windows System, and previous versions, blue screen looks like a terminal screen with all information displayed.
In Windows 8 and 10 Blue Screen errors become simpler."Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart. We're just collecting some error info and then we will restart it for you. (0% Complete)."
Systems by default in Windows automatically, restart whenever it encounters a blue screen error. You can disable the automatic restarts from the Windows Control Panel.

Disable Automatic Reboot after Blue Screen Errors

Right Click on the Computer icon and Choose Properties. Windows 7 or Vista users will take you to the systems properties screen and click on Advanced System Settings. With the Advanced tab selected, you'll want to click on Setting Button under "Startup and Recovery". Next Uncheck the Option Automatically restart under the System failure section.

Troubleshooting Beep Codes

Computers get beep codes, when either the system gets faulty due to failure of the booting or POST errors and or flashing LED's. Such beeps come to be known as BEEP CODES. This comes along with BIOS (Basic Input Operating System). If you hear beep codes after the computer is turned on, then that means the motherboard has encountered a problem.

Solving BEEP CODES

· Power on the computer or restart if already on.

· Listen to the beep codes when it begins to boot. Restart if the beep codes still exist.
