What do troubleshooting services include?
You likely spend a huge chunk of your day in front of a computer. Lags and glitches in your device can derail your plans for the day and stifle productivity. It's a good thing that finding computer troubleshooting near you is easy with Airtasker.
If you're wondering what you can have done under computer troubleshooting, here are a few examples:
Software cleanup
Most of the time, your computer slowing down is caused by too many software programs running simultaneously. You can have too many browsers open for work, research, and even video streaming. You may also have editing programs, folders, and messaging platforms open. What if none of these is the problem?
Â
A troubleshooting specialist can help check if your software programs or app are running in the background, draining your battery and eating up your RAM. Some program installers, especially those from notable developers, may also have incompatibility with your device or other programs.Â
It's also possible that a virus or malware is installed from a sketchy source. You can avoid this by ensuring that you download only from legitimate websites hosted by companies you trust.
Â
Device inspection
Aside from checking your RAM, there could be physical manifestations of why your device is slowing down. Much like any appliance in need of repair, gadgets also overheat, indicating a faulty battery.
Â
Another thing to look out for are signs of moisture or mold, which could happen during sudden temperature changes or when you often drink or eat in front of your computer or laptop. Improper electrical wiring could also be a possible culprit, including accidentally pulling the plug while you work or kicking the wires and causing the computer to shut down abruptly.
Â
Repair and support
Aside from troubleshooting, computer technicians can also help you identify the best solution for you. Maybe a quick fix and new antivirus software are all you need. If your device is under warranty, they can also point you to the nearest service center. Lastly, if it's beyond repair, Taskers can help you assemble a PC that fits your lifestyle and needs. Plus, the new setup can avoid the causes that slowed down or damaged your computer in the first place.

I am experiencing difficulties with my LG screen as it is not displaying properly and frequently goes into sleep mode. I need someone with expertise in troubleshooting electronic devices, specifically LG screens, to help me identify and rectify the issue. Task Requirements: 1. Diagnosis of Display Problem: Examine the LG screen to determine why it is not displaying correctly. This may involve checking for loose connections, cable issues, or any other hardware-related problems. 2.

Determine whether this is a settings-related problem, a software issue, or if there's a malfunction in the screen's hardware. 3. Adjusting Screen Settings: If necessary, adjust the LG screen settings to optimize display performance and prevent it from entering sleep mode without user input. 4. Detailed Report: Provide a detailed report outlining the identified issues, steps taken to resolve them, and any recommendations for preventing future problems. Include information on any changes made to the screen settings. 5. Communication: Keep open communication throughout the process, providing updates on the progress and seeking additional information if needed. 6. Expertise Required: Previous experience with LG screens or similar electronic devices is preferred. Please highlight any relevant skills or qualifications in your response.

Help with TV troubleshooting/TV pick-up

Surry Hills NSW 2010, Australia
24th Jan 2023
Hi there, I need some help at my office in Surry Hills. There is a TV which I need some troubleshooting done on as it is flickering and clients can't connect. You will need to bring in your personal laptop with a HDMI connection (the HDMI cable is already in the TV) to see if you can connect to the TV. Minor troubleshooting like checking cables are connected and checking the network settings on the TV are correct. Hopefully it is a minor issue but if it can't be fixed I would need someone to pick up a new TV at JB hi-fi in Moore Park. I would arrange for Click and Collect for this. Then to take it back to the studio and to set-up and connect it. I also need three other TV's in the office to be double checked just to make sure they don't have any network connection issues. The rate quoted is to cover up to 2 hours any additional hours will be paid at $40 per hour extra. This task can be done anytime from now up until the end of the day tomorrow, Thursday 26th January. Please note I work remotely in QLD so am not on-site but I am available at all times on the phone. Cheers Laura - Due date: Before Friday, 27 January 2023
Great service. Very calm when I am stressing out. Fixed everything and kept me updated throughout the process. Highly recommend.

We require an IT expert who is familiar with Windows and Google Suite to troubleshoot why a microphone is not working on a Windows laptop. Based on previous troubleshooting attempts, the laptop is likely to require a full re installation of Windows along with a set of provided software and configurations (including but not limited to office, connection to internal intranet, bitlocker, antivirus etc). Must be onsite to do the work and sign an NDA.
Fantastic knowledgeable and customer centric IT person. Would highly recommend!

TPG have advised there are devices on our WiFi which are using a lot of data and slowing our internet service. We need to know which ones they are to improve connection speeds. We also have 2 Mac laptops, one 3 years old and the other 3 weeks old. Both computers have trouble connecting to WiFi and LAN. Unfortunately this happens inconsistently and we would like to find out why. We are looking someone thorough who can carefully check all possible scenarios to find out why we are having problems. You must be prepared to get under our house if necessary. If you have a proven track record of resolving these sorts of issues in the past we would like to work with you.
David is a personable and knowledgeable technician who considerably improved our internet speed on both Wifi & LAN. He recommended a better internet provider and made suggestions around how we could improve the Wifi network throughout our home. We will definitely use his services again.
