PC info 2.0: Steps needed to be taken after buying notebook, netbook, and etc


Wow.. what a long title..

Anyways, wuddup people.. I've decided again to make another PC based post.. So sit back, read and enjoy..

You know how it goes when you buy a laptop or netbook or things like that and when you bring it back home and its somewhat broken?

Not that I have ever experienced such things but then again, maybe some of you dudes and dudets have..

So, here are some ways to counter this problem..

1. Check the seal of the box, make sure its not damage. Why? This is because the seal is a sign to show that that thing is brand new, never been touched, damaged or what so ever. The staff are only allowed to open the seal sticker in front of the customer after payment have been done.

2. Check for scratches on the outer part of your new item. The cover of your laptop, netbook, etc. Duh.. New items should have no scratches or what so ever.. Commonsense much.

3. Checklist for hardware failure.
- Connect to the local wifi system to check if the wifi system is online.

- Try burning CD and DVD to check if the optical drive is functioning

- Try "playing" with the monitor brightness to check if the monitor is functioning

- Try "jacking-in" pendrive to the USB port to check the USB port

- test the speaker by playing random music. the sound may sound a bit dull for the first few hours of playing music on any new speakers. if the sound of both speakers on the notebook is not balanced.

- check every letter/symbols/numbers and toggle keys[num lock and caps lock] functionality.

- plug in the charger to the notebook to check if it charges the battery.

- plug in the charger without the battery connected to the notebook to test the battery.

- if any built-in card reader : Try inserting the correct memory card to test if the reader is functioning.

- if any built-in bluetooth : try to pair it with any other bluetooth enabled device. Try transfering some files to check its functionality.

If something occurs, then you should go change that thing.. I would do it within 7 days after buying and don't forget to bring the receipt of course. No receipt, no proof, no replacement.


With that being done, There shouldn't be any problem with your new baby..

Well, that's all for PC info 2.0.. Have a good day people..

Over and Out..
