Ten Top Reasons to Do it Yourself and Not Let the Other Guys Do It
As I build out my web site and look for good, relevant, and free information about computers I always stumble across a web site that claims 'Do It Yourself and Save' but once you get in to the site the information is so skimpy or inaccurate you wonder how these sites were put together. I mean if the information is bad or incomplete how did they keep their computers up and running long enough to write the articles? Others give you a partial answer and then have an ad next to it trying to entice you in to buying their services. You want answers? You can't handle the answer! Ok, I'll give it to you straight: They are ripping you off! 98% of the problems a computer encounters to day can be fixed by anyone, well maybe a two year old couldn't but a three year old could. That is how simple the computer industry has made computers now. Back when, oppps, ten years ago you would have to call a tech or take your computer to a repair shop to get a part replaced. Partly because of warranty partly because the technology. You have a problem with your computer? Search the internet, someone, somewhere, at sometime has written an article on how to fix it. Also ten years ago the parts in your computer were more modular as they are to day. I'll give you a minute to digest that tid-bit of information... Ten years ago when you bought a computer the computer had a lot of different parts like: motherboard, processor, memory, hard drive, video card, and floppy drive. Then there were the extras or add-ons: sound card, high resolution video, game controller card, extra serial and parallel ports card, network card, cd rom (before DVD remember) and some special purpose cards. Now all those parts with the exception of the CD or DVD drive are built in to the motherboard. So if you take a computer apart and look at the main components you have: Motherboard, hard drive, CD or DVD drive, memory, processor, and some extra fans. Anything else will be on the motherboard. Unless you upgrade you live with what is on the motherboard too. So what does that mean to you? Well it means fewer things to go wrong! Your hard drive fails you can take it to a repair shop and have it replaced, you may have to skip making a payment on your car or walk to work because you don't have the money to buy gas but you don't have to 'Geek' it and fix the darn thing. Or do you. You hear horror stories all the time about the computer owner that took his computer to the 'local' repair shop and wound up buying a new computer because when he brought it home it was worse than when he took it to the shop. I kid you not, some repair shops have some really good, well trained technicians, and some just hire anyone who sounds like they know what they are doing. (and in this story the only problem with the computer was it had a virus, a nasty one, but none the less it was only a virus!) The ten top reasons you would repair your own computer or Do It Yourself: 1) You have been through the nightmare before-- (Experience)
2) You would rather make a car payment-- (Money)
3) You don't have to wait for someone else to do the job-- (Time)
4) You don't have to take the computer to someone-- (Time and Money)
5) You have information on the computer you would not trust to someone else-- (Security)
6) You want to learn how to fix computers-- (Experience)
7) You know what the problem is just need to know 'How to do it'-- (Time and Money)
8) The closest repair shop is very far away-- (Time and Money)
9) You can't afford to pay someone else-- (Money)
10) You blew it up and are embarrassed about what happened-- (??) So why do you Do It Yourself? Monte Russell with over 20 years experience, AAS degree, MCSE, CNA, A+, and hardware certificates.
