Barkingmode

Changes on this site, the name will be changed into barkingmode and the logo will be change also. I am going to merge this site to barkingmode. It is so hard to maintain two blogs at a time, so today I will going to merge my two blogs. Topics on these two sites are mostly the same. So, I have come up with the decision to merge Tecrapier with barkingmode. The new site name now will be barkingmode. The new logo is here............  

Identifying Power Supply for defect occasionally difficult for most typical user. But for some people with knowledge in technical is easy. For some that are new to repair or to this field. I think you must learn the basic of testing the power supply if it is working or not. During my earlier years in college we were not taught how to diagnose a power supply. I only learned this technique from a co-worker when I was already working. Most of tech person already knew this process. So, I am going to share this to you now. This process work well that you could easily determine if your power supply still work.  This applies to the computer that won't start. Let's pretend that you power on your computer but the system did not turn on. So, if you have already checked your AVR and UPS (uninterruptible power supply) unit if their lights were on. Also you have already checked every power cable if they were all mounted correctly. Then you get to the point that you...

Hi there, today my post is about automatic voltage regulator. What goes into your mind when you hear the term automatic voltage regulator? Yes, its automatically regulate voltage, right? So how this automatic voltage regulator affects our computer? Actually this device does not affect computers directly. This device does not speed up our computer but it protects our computer parts from easily burned during voltage fluctuation. Also it provides step down power for devices from Japan or the US. If we live in Asia and plug this devices, this action could be a disaster to this devices. In Japan and US voltages are in 110volts to 120volts only while in Asia most devices runs in 220volts. So, this AVR is not only for voltage fluctuation but also as step down power. So, what are the most common problems of automatic voltage regulator? I have here the list of problems that we might encounter if we have a defective automatic voltage regulator. 1. Defective Plug Defective plu...

We always asked "How to repair my keyboard?" or "How to fix defective keys on my keyboard?". Before, I was able to fix desktop and laptop keyboards. How did I done that? Okay! I am going to give you a hint on how did I done that.  But before we continue, please read the site policy . If you have already read this policy, continue reading this post. First disassembled it right? then look for the burned carbon resistor printed on the plastic board or circuit board if it is in an old keyboard model. Then look for a stranded wire about 3 to 5 times larger than your hair. You can also use the stranded wire from power supply. Tape it on the burned carbon printed lines on the plastic circuit board of your keyboard better if you use transparent tape. Check if all lines are connected or shunted using the stranded wire, then try it.  You can use my technique but this fix is not permanent. This shunt will burned some of new lines on your keyboard or some keys ...

Our motherboard is the main part of our computer. All parts are connected on this unit like the Video card, Mouse, Keyboard, Harddisk, Memory, Power supply, DVD-ROM, etc. There are problems that we might encountered if we have a defective motherboard like blackout, date rollback to manufactured date during start-up and computer sometimes won't start. Blackout trouble is the most easiest to detect. Roll back date can be fix easily by replacing only the cmos battery. The intermittent problem like computer won't start this error occasionally misinterpreted as defective memory.  Other tech usually remove the memory and clean it with eraser then install it back. This power-up problem will be solve this time, but sooner this error will reoccur again. If this things happened many times, motherboard won't start I think this is the time when you are going to replace your motherboard but make it sure that you test the board with good memory before you  act on changing it. If you ...

Most users cannot determine what is the problem of their computer if there is no display on the screen and always call for technical support of the vendor if their computer is still under warranty. But this topic give you an idea on how to know if your external video card has a problem. All motherboards today are manufactured with built-in video card that sometimes this video card is more powerful than its external video card. Latest motherboards has a high end built-in video card that within six months to one year external video cards are no match to this latest motherboard built-ins. Every six months or less companies are employing high end chipsets to their latest motherboard models thus making it advance to its competitors. Sometimes most game fanatic users add another speed up to their computer, the external video card. But some video card sometimes fail that causes our computer to blackout.  So how do we know if our computer is still working and the problem is on our ...
