What do troubleshooting services include?

You likely spend a huge chunk of your day in front of a computer. Lags and glitches in your device can derail your plans for the day and stifle productivity. It's a good thing that finding computer troubleshooting near you is easy with Airtasker.

If you're wondering what you can have done under computer troubleshooting, here are a few examples:

Software cleanup

Most of the time, your computer slowing down is caused by too many software programs running simultaneously. You can have too many browsers open for work, research, and even video streaming. You may also have editing programs, folders, and messaging platforms open. What if none of these is the problem?

 

A troubleshooting specialist can help check if your software programs or app are running in the background, draining your battery and eating up your RAM. Some program installers, especially those from notable developers, may also have incompatibility with your device or other programs. 

It's also possible that a virus or malware is installed from a sketchy source. You can avoid this by ensuring that you download only from legitimate websites hosted by companies you trust.

 

Device inspection

Aside from checking your RAM, there could be physical manifestations of why your device is slowing down. Much like any appliance in need of repair, gadgets also overheat, indicating a faulty battery.

 

Another thing to look out for are signs of moisture or mold, which could happen during sudden temperature changes or when you often drink or eat in front of your computer or laptop. Improper electrical wiring could also be a possible culprit, including accidentally pulling the plug while you work or kicking the wires and causing the computer to shut down abruptly.

 

Repair and support

Aside from troubleshooting, computer technicians can also help you identify the best solution for you. Maybe a quick fix and new antivirus software are all you need. If your device is under warranty, they can also point you to the nearest service center. Lastly, if it's beyond repair, Taskers can help you assemble a PC that fits your lifestyle and needs. Plus, the new setup can avoid the causes that slowed down or damaged your computer in the first place.

I need someone with expertise in troubleshooting electronic devices, specifically LG screens, to help me identify and rectify the issue. Task Requirements: 1. Diagnosis of Display Problem: Examine the LG screen to determine why it is not displaying correctly. This may involve checking for loose connections, cable issues, or any other hardware-related problems. 2. Investigation of Sleep Mode Issue: Investigate why the screen is entering sleep mode unexpectedly. Determine whether this is a settings-related problem, a software issue, or if there's a malfunction in the screen's hardware. 3. Adjusting Screen Settings: If necessary, adjust the LG screen settings to optimize display performance and prevent it from entering sleep mode without user input. 4. Detailed Report: Provide a detailed report outlining the identified issues, steps taken to resolve them, and any recommendations for preventing future problems. Include information on any changes made to the screen settings. 5. Communication: Keep open communication throughout the process, providing updates on the progress and seeking additional information if needed. 6. Expertise Required: Previous experience with LG screens or similar electronic devices is preferred. Please highlight any relevant skills or qualifications in your response.

Help with TV troubleshooting/TV pick-up

Surry Hills NSW 2010, Australia

24th Jan 2023

Hi there, I need some help at my office in Surry Hills. There is a TV which I need some troubleshooting done on as it is flickering and clients can't connect. You will need to bring in your personal laptop with a HDMI connection (the HDMI cable is already in the TV) to see if you can connect to the TV. Minor troubleshooting like checking cables are connected and checking the network settings on the TV are correct. Hopefully it is a minor issue but if it can't be fixed I would need someone to pick up a new TV at JB hi-fi in Moore Park. I would arrange for Click and Collect for this. Then to take it back to the studio and to set-up and connect it. I also need three other TV's in the office to be double checked just to make sure they don't have any network connection issues. The rate quoted is to cover up to 2 hours any additional hours will be paid at $40 per hour extra. This task can be done anytime from now up until the end of the day tomorrow, Thursday 26th January. Please note I work remotely in QLD so am not on-site but I am available at all times on the phone. Cheers Laura - Due date: Before Friday, 27 January 2023

Great service. Very calm when I am stressing out. Fixed everything and kept me updated throughout the process. Highly recommend.
