Many people have PCs these days, but have you ever found yourself at a loss when technology isn't doing what you want it to? Take our quiz and test your knowledge of these common issues to see how simple some problems are to fix! Why won't the computer turn on? Believe it or not, this is a very common issue - the computer won't turn on because it isn't plugged in. Plugs can become loose, sockets in the wall can be turned off or the power cord itself can fail. Check and make sure both ends of the cord are plugged in snugly and that the socket has power. You may need to use a different power cord or wall socket. If your computer turns on and turns right back off, this can be a different issue, related to a faulty power supply or bad motherboard. If in doubt, consult a specialist. Many computers have one or more fans inside of them, to help cool the machine during use.

However, these fans can become clogged with dust and dirt, which will reduce the rate at which they work. If a fan becomes too clogged, you will be able to hear it making a loud noise as it tries to spin. Or it may not even spin at all, but simply click when the motor is trying to spin it, if the fan is physically stuck. Cleaning the fans with compressed air can help resolve this issue. Since Wi-Fi is a signal being broadcast that your device must receive, common interference issues such as signal strength and distance can affect it. If your Wi-Fi keeps disconnecting, try moving closer to your router or removing any items that broadcast a radio signal that could affect it. Also, make sure your drivers are up to date for your Wi-Fi reception device. Typically, if every letter you are typing is coming out as a capital, it is due to the CAPS lock key being on.

Look for an LED indicator on your keyboard that indicates this, and toggle it off to return to normal letters. All computers have an internal battery, called a CMOS battery, located directly on the motherboard (computer brain) to provide power when the computer is off. This is how the computer can track stored information and have it ready when the computer is turned on. This battery can die, however, meaning the computer can't store - or provide - that stored information, such as the time. The first thing any tech person or help center will tell you to do is try a basic restart. Shut the computer down, wait a few minutes, then restart. With luck, your machine will reboot and the problems will be gone. The most common reason that a desktop's icons have changed size, whether too large or too small, is due to a change in resolution.

This can happen if the settings have been changed, or if another program changes the resolution and doesn't change it back. Simply right click on the desktop and then click on Display Settings to restore your desired resolution. Having your phone too close to your speakers can cause interference in them when you receive data from a cell tower. Turning mobile data off and using WiFi, or moving the repair phone near me further away from your speakers can help reduce this interference. Every device will eventually run out of space, rendering it unable to save new items. The quickest way to free up space is to look for any multimedia (old videos, music or pictures) that can be deleted or moved to a different storage location. Certain programs can help free up space by clearing unnecessary files, but experts warn that you should only use those if you are sure that nothing essential will be deleted.

All of the above will stop a printer from printing successfully, but if you have checked the printer updates, the ink supply (both color and black) and the paper supply, then you should check the printer "print queue" status, or make sure that "Use Printer Offline" isn't checked. As a last resort, make sure everything is plugged in! A Windows screen can be inverted, or moved to the sides, by hitting a specific sequence of keys. Arrow keys need to be hit at the same time. Hitting these keys will revert the change and resolve the issue. The entire screen is one internet page! F11 is the default button to make an internet page full screen, or to shrink it back down after. Sometimes it can accidentally be hit, causing the page to be expanded with no quick way of shrinking it back. Simply pressing the key again will fix the issue, and you will look like a wizard. If a program is truly stuck, the normal methods of closing it - such as clicking X on it or trying to right-click and close won't work.
