A brand new computer usually pleases the owner not only with its pleasant appearance, but also with its trouble-free operation. But time passes, and "whims" appear. The most common "age" computer problems lie in the fans. The fan is the most vulnerable mechanical part of the computer, especially if it is not in a clean room.
Fans can "contribute" to a large number of breakdowns, as well as the appearance of program failures due to an increase in system temperature. When the fan stops above the processor, if you haven't noticed it, the whole computer will soon "lie down", perhaps even forever. The other fan is located in the power supply located on the back of the computer's system unit, and most often it is the only source of airflow into the computer.
Remember: computers are allergic to dust, cigarette smoke, and pet dander. Dust settles on the fan blades and accumulates, turning into a dirty fatty layer, interfering with the operation of the fans and causing increased noise - the first sign of a "disease" computer. Cigarette smoke helps dust settle inside the system unit, leading to damage to its components. The hair of pets, especially cats (very light and thin), is attracted to the fans like a magnet and can cause them to "death *. In principle, the fans in the computer are easy and cheap to replace. But sometimes more time can be spent on a trip to the store for a new fan than for cleaning and lubricating the old one, after which it can last a long time.
Open the system unit and look at the power supply fan. If a noticeable dust "pillow" has grown on it, unscrew the fixing screws and remove the power source, and then the cover of its case. Remove all visible dust and dirt from the fan blades and housing with a soft cloth and a stream of air from the vacuum cleaner.
Once the fan is clean, peel off the sticker on the back. Carefully remove the protective rubber under the sticker, exposing the grease hole. It is enough to put one drop of oil into the open hole. Put the elastic in place and seal with a sticker. Install the fan and, after turning on the computer, run the fan for at least a minute until the oil is distributed inside the case. In most cases, this is enough to eliminate noise and rattle.
The accumulation of dust on the motherboard is not a big problem. More damaging is the damage that can be caused by improper cleaning. The best way to clean your computer is with an airflow from a vacuum cleaner. Carefully remove the processor fan and its heatsink. Use a stream of air to carefully blow out possible dust accumulations on the fan blades and radiator fins. Reinstall the heatsink and fan.
"Purge" is, of course, best done in a well-ventilated area or outdoors, as airflow cleaning is accompanied by a lot of dust and debris in the surrounding area. Thoroughly clean the inside of the system unit and all components (try to remove as much visible dust as possible).
Much attention can be paid to cleaning the external surfaces, but no solvents or cleaners containing alcohol should be used here. This can damage plastic parts and erase writing. It is best to take special cleaning products for computers and household appliances.

Artificial leather for touch emulation
15.04.2024
In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>
Petgugu Global cat litter
15.04.2024
Taking care of pets can often be a challenge, especially when it comes to keeping your home clean. A new interesting solution from the Petgugu Global startup has been presented, which will make life easier for cat owners and help them keep their home perfectly clean and tidy. Startup Petgugu Global has unveiled a unique cat toilet that can automatically flush feces, keeping your home clean and fresh. This innovative device is equipped with various smart sensors that monitor your pet's toilet activity and activate to automatically clean after use. The device connects to the sewer system and ensures efficient waste removal without the need for intervention from the owner. Additionally, the toilet has a large flushable storage capacity, making it ideal for multi-cat households. The Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>
The attractiveness of caring men
14.04.2024
The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>
| Random news from the Archive Full HD TVs fail the test
30.08.2007
No Full HD TV can offer full HD resolution when displaying moving objects, according to the latest research from Home Theater magazine.
Of the nineteen Full HD TVs tested, ranging from 40 to 67 inches, only twelve models were able to display 1080p on a still image. The resolution of other models ranged from 850 to 1050 vertical pixels. When displaying moving objects, the situation turned out to be more deplorable. The actual resolution ranged from 500 to 880 vertical pixels.
Vizio GV47FHDTV LCD TV was recognized as an obvious outsider of the tests. In the static test, it brought out 400 horizontal lines and 360 - while driving, with 1080 declared. The worst results when displaying dynamic scenes, following the Vizio GV47FHDTV, were shown by the Sony KDL40W3000 LCD TV, which brought out only 500 horizontal lines. The real resolution of the Sony KDL46W3000, Sharp LC37D62U and Samsung LNT4661F LCD TVs also turned out to be less than 600 lines, again when displaying moving objects. What is characteristic - the best indicators belong to plasma TVs.
The leaders of the experiment were 50-inch Panasonic TH-50PZ700 and TH-50PZ750 plasmas, capable of displaying 1080 lines in statics and 880 lines in motion. Plasma TVs from Samsung and projection TVs from JVC also distinguished themselves. The Panasonic TH-50PZ700 handled the Full HD display better than the others. Models of the following brands took part in the study: Mitsubishi, JVC, LG, Panasonic, Samsung, Sharp, Sony and Vizio.
To determine the real resolution, the FPD Benchmark software developed by the Consumer Electronics Manufacturers Association was used. The software outputted a series of monochrome grids consisting of vertical and horizontal lines.
Last year, the focus was on the quality of HD broadcast reception. It turned out that less than half of HDTVs are able to correctly receive an interlaced high-definition signal and convert it to a progressive signal. This year the results were much better. Of the 74 flat-panel TV models tested, about 65% completed the task.
