Epic Troubleshooting Earlier, one of my boardmates knocked on my door and held a laptop bag, which means I have another laptop to repair. He informed me that when he inserts the printer USB cable, his laptop does not open. When I checked the laptop, it appeared that the problem was on the inside and was caused by a short circuit. I told him I couldn't fix it because I lacked the necessary tools. After I said it, he kneeled and begged me to fix it (with tantalizing eyes) because it was his sister's laptop. I think it's an emergency 101 (his sister is a terror (hulk mode) when it comes to her things). I called one of my coworkers if he was available today and if it was okay to fix a laptop. It's good to know he'd say yes. When we arrived at his place, he informed me that there was a short circuit and a 5 voltage short occurred in the USB drive port, which detects the surge protection of the laptop. I'm not sure what he means because I'm not familiar with troubleshooting terminology. I only understand that he used a jumper to repair the laptop and warned us not to insert unknown devices into the port again (flash drives are ok). Note: the labor is free; we only gave him food in exchange for repairing my boardmate's laptop. When we returned to the apartment and then after a few hours, my boardmate rushed into my room and told me his laptop was no longer working again when he inserted his flash drive. When I tried to open it; I think it's fine, but I'm not sure what the problem is why it's not working. Then, out of frustration, my boardmate hit (hand) the back of the laptop, and I grabbed the laptop from him before it broke. I checked it, saw that the laptop was open, and I informed him it was working again. He simply smiled and said, "Dapat pala tinatakot ang laptop para gumana." *I can't believe what happened, but it worked and was effective; maybe next time I'll hit my laptop too. Joke hahaha

Madaming instances na ganyan πππ but it takes time to fix it., Lalo na pag ako gumawa πππ naalala ko nung wala pako knowledge sa mga hardware (puro coding lang sa utak ko nun auto delete pag di codingπ€«) nilinis ko lamg yung system unit ko pati loob ayun katapos malinis ayaw na gumana πππ san san ko ma dinala di parin nagana until na sinipa ko ayun biglang on ππ
natawa ako sa sipa po, mukhang effective yung sipa, hampas at takutin po. Same po tayo may konting kaalaman sa pag trtroibleshoot pero hindi expert na tulad na may hinihinang at tumitingin pa sa magnifying glass. Open and konting bukas then pag open ng laptop ayaw na mabuksan tapos magpapanic dahil nandun ang mga important files.xD
