Is it possible to fix my computer myself?

DIY methods are becoming increasingly popular in Lithuania, especially in computer repair. Social networks, especially YouTube, provide a wealth of tutorials on how to repair various devices. However, are these methods suitable for repairing computers, especially Macbooks and other laptops and stationary computers? Paulius Simonavičius, an expert at Taisykla7.lt, who has extensive experience in this area, shares his opinion.

Repairing computers yourself - this depends on the type of fault. Some minor faults can be fixed at home based on the internet or videos. However, there are some problems that require more detailed knowledge or special tools.

Not all computer malfunctions are a sign of a serious fault. For example, sometimes the problem can be as simple as a faulty socket or charger. It's a good idea to check these simple things before taking more serious action. Making sure your computer is charging and the charger is working is the first step. If this doesn't help, then it's worth looking at other possible causes.

Repairing your computer yourself can be based on the specific fault. Nowadays, many procedures for updating operating systems or removing viruses are quite simplified. However, some repairs, especially those involving more complex machinery, are better left to professionals.

The most common faults vary between different types of computers. For laptops, screen breakages, keyboard failures, battery replacements, or installation of SDDs are among the most common. For desktop computers, failures of USB connections, fans, as well as memory and power upgrades are common.

It is very important not to try to fix complex technical problems yourself, especially those involving microchips. Mistakes can lead to significant losses and it is better to rely on professionals. Diagnosis is also an important aspect, as incorrectly identified faults can cause even bigger problems.

The masters face a variety of challenges, including upgrading old computers, removing viruses, and providing spare parts. They are constantly looking for ways to fix various faults more efficiently and quickly.

Finally, people whose computers have crashed are advised to first identify the cause of the fault and then seek professional advice if they are unable to repair it themselves.
