Top Computer Hardware related questions

Absolutely! Simply specify your location when you post a task for computer hardware repair. Local computer hardware technicians can soon get in touch. Your chosen Tasker will then come right over to do the repair. By finding a local technician, you can avoid the stressful process of hiring someone located hours away from you. 

The time it takes to repair computer hardware depends on the type of computer and its corresponding problem. Ideally, a computer technician can fix minor issues within a few hours using diagnostic software. But there may be instances when faulty parts need replacing. In this case, your Tasker may need to order the parts first, and this is when the process takes several days or weeks.  

A computer technician’s toolkit may contain a power supply tester, cable testers, a USB network adapter, and a small flashlight. Different types and sizes of screwdrivers, pliers, tweezers, wrenches, and zip ties are also essential. Technicians work with a variety of gadgets. Meanwhile, a technician may use a lint-free soft cloth, cotton swabs, isopropyl alcohol, and an air blowing machine for cleaning computers.

Certifications are not always required but are preferred. Computer technicians, also known as computer support specialists, have extensive technical knowledge and strong problem-solving skills. Those planning to work in the field can opt to get a degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, or Computer Engineering. Aspiring technicians can also take vocational computer courses to prepare them for professional certification exams.  

What do computer hardware services include?

Repairing appliances can be a tricky process, especially when it comes to computers. Computer hardware refers to physical components, such as the monitor, mouse, keyboard, microphone, camera, and touchpad. Hardware also includes the Central Processing Unit (CPU), Random Access Memory (RAM), Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), Power Supply Unit (PSU), motherboard, and hard drive.

 

On the other hand, software includes the intangible parts of the device, such as the operating system and applications. Hardware and software complement each other and must be in tip-top shape to perform properly. 

 

If you’re wondering what a typical computer hardware service includes, here’s a quick overview: 

Computer hardware repair 

A computer technician can help identify your device’s hardware issues. Your specialist will then advise you on the next steps and perform the necessary repairs. 

 

Some common hardware problems include:

  • a blank or blue screen

  • overheating

  • strange noises from the computer

  • insufficient memory

  • dysfunctional USB ports

  • a faulty mouse, camera, or keyboard

Computer maintenance 

Proper maintenance will help extend your computer’s life, improve slow performance, and keep your computer free from viruses and malware. This step includes checking the device for harmful foreign materials such as dust and tiny insects. Your hired Tasker can make sure there are no faulty electrical wires. You may also need to get some electrical work done to support computer maintenance. 

Data recovery  

Computer hardware damage can lead to data loss. A data recovery expert can salvage your data when you lose files due to a blackout or hardware failure. Your computer technician may use a data recovery program and access the hardware to retrieve your files. The specialist can also help recover important data from hard disk drives (HDD), memory cards, or USB memory sticks. To prevent similar problems in the future, you can have your specialist install a backup and recovery system on your computer. 

Printer repair and maintenance 

Has your printer broken down, or do you have a broken printer you’d like to get fixed? A computer hardware technician can repair your printer or scanner. You may also opt to have your toners and ink cartridges refilled. 

Services such as assembling your computer, formatting the device, and installing sockets and switches are also available on Airtasker.
