Especially in the warm season it is inside the computer a lot warmer than in the cold season. This is because the components to be produced in the warm season a lot more heat. Many hard drives can be operated with a maximum of 60 degrees. At temperatures above 60 degrees, it becomes critical, because then threatened with a loss of data. With the help of special hard fans, hard drives can be kept refrigerated.
Here you should regularly check that the fan still work properly and that there is no dust on the fan.

This ATX power supply came in with the complaint of intermittent no power. When testing it with power on, I could see that the fan is not working. Not only that, some filter capacitors also became bulge because of the heat accumulated inside the power supply. The failure of the fan would not suck out the heat generated by the components especially the switch mode power transformer. If you switch off a working power supply and power removed, touch the power transformer, you could feel it is quite warm. Another heat source would be the heat sink where the output diodes attached to it. Diodes run a little bit hotter in filter circuit than diodes in other circuits due to the high current present at the secondary output line.

Dell 17″ (Likom L705XXX) Monitor With No Power Symptom
This DELL 17” Monitor (Made in Malaysia under LIKOM model L705XXX, product no: L7055LP) came in with no power symptom. Normally after opening up the cover I would look at the power supply (primary side) for any burnt and cracked components first. If there are darkened area and burnt components, I would tell myself that this Monitor needs a little more time to repair it. If it is not (component’s intact) I would usually begin to discharge the filter capacitor and start checking the fuse. Continue reading »

All cathode ray tube monitor (crt) have a sticker sticked on its crt coating. Those words or characters printed on the sticker are the type number of the picture tube. All cathode rays tubes, whether a monochrome (black and white) or colour crt are identified by a specific code consisting of numbers and letters. The cathode ray tube monitors codes are different from each other because different picture tubes have different characteristics. Television codes are more or less the same as the monitor codes.
For instance, most color monitor cathode ray tube has the designation code such as the M36AFA63X03. There are six meaning (parts) M/36/AFA/63/X/03 in these codes as explain below: Continue reading »
