Keep Calm and Fix your Laptop

I am a full-time WAHM who is totally dependent on a computer and other tech gadgets to make a living. In fact, almost 80% of our household income (my husband and mine combined) is derived from the use of computers alone.

But I am not a techie person; I used to get distraught when something goes wrong. I used to panic every time I run into common computer hardware problems such as a broken LED LCD screen, broken batteries and chargers (The one I’m using right now is my 4th charger, by the way!), sticky or broken keyboard keys and damaged USB ports. I used to go bananas when I get disconnected from the internet during working hours or when my laptop suddenly hangs when I’m in the middle of doing an urgent research for my Boss.

Over time, I learned how to take the above mentioned problems calmly and look for solutions instead. I start to do my research and apply them, and most solutions I find in the web surprisingly works - unless the problem is the components itself, in which case I need to call for a laptop repair service so I can resume working.

How about you? What are the most common computer problems you encounter and how do you fix them? Share with us in the comments section below! Have a great day!

Dell Parts for a Broken LED LCD Screen

Yes folks, you are looking at my poor laptop screen. And as a WAHM who depends on a computer to perform her job, maintain a blog on the sideline and do other personal stuff, having a damaged screen is more than just a disaster. The moment I saw it was broken, I was heartbroken I nearly cried!

I explored and analyzed my options - buy a new laptop, buy a computer monitor or repair/fix the broken LED LCD. Buying a new laptop or monitor would be too costly for me, so I think I will need to try the role of a DIY Mom and try to get my laptop working like before. I've found several resources online on how to replace a laptop screen easily but I'm still looking for affordable but quality Dell parts.

Wish me luck!
