Mac Repair

15 Aug

Although Apples new Mac campaign has led many to believe that Mac’s are impermeable to problems that PC’s have this is not the truth. I run a Laptop and Desktop Mac and PC repair shop in Northridge California so I can tell you that I see many problems in many machines on a daily basis. In this article I am going to cover one of the most basic yet common Mac Repair problems.


Despite the heat problems a lot of new intel-based Macs are having, Macbook’s are now experiencing a common problem with their logic boards (mother boards).

1. I have personally witnessed many instances in which someone will bring in a Macbook that randomly shutdown or blacked-out without response. Sometimes the logic boards need to be replaced, this is a rather costly Mac Repair, but sometimes there is an easier solution, that is what I will cover below.

All you have to do is simply reset your RAM and PRAM.

(The below steps are directly from Apple Inc.)


Resetting PRAM and NVRAM
Shut down your computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Your computer’s PRAM and the NVRAM are reset to the default values. The clock settings may be reset to a default date on some models.

( The above steps are directly from Apple Inc.)

If you are experiencing problems similar to these and random shutdowns are still occuring frequently even after the resetting of RAM and PRAM, you should take your computer to Apple or a qualified local technician for assistance.

Computer Basics – Computer And Device Interaction

13 Aug

A basic computer system comes with a computer, monitor, keyboard, and mouse. There are also tons of accessories and peripherals that can be added. Let’s take a look at how they all work together.

If you were to make an analogy to the human body, the computer would be like the brain, the monitor – the mouth, the keyboard and mouse – eyes and ears…. The computer controls all the functionality in the system. The other devices are there to give the computer inputs and to provide it with outputs.

Let’s run through an example, let’s say the user presses a keyboard key – ESC. The keyboard passes that input on to the computer (the brain). The computer then decides on what to do with this signal – which depends on what the computer is currently doing. Say the computer decided that ESC means that it should exit out of whatever application it is currently in. It exits the application and sends a signal to the monitor (output) to show a new picture, one where that application is closed.

There are tons of other devices that can be plugged in to the computer, some of them are input devices, some output devices, and some are both. An all in one printer/scanner can be both an input and an output device, print(output) and scan(input).

Sometimes the separation of devices isn’t all that clear, like in a laptop. The computer, monitor, and keyboard are all in the same box. But the separation of components still exists, even if they don’t have space between them. Inside the laptop, the computer is still separate from the keyboard and from the monitor, and it still considers them to be input/output devices that it can communicate with.
