I have THREE desktop PC's with problems. Can't afford a repair-person. Would the OP or anyone else have knowledge on these issues?:
1. Most recent previous PC = "very low battery" warning. I've had it a long time, some features don't work, but it's the battery issue that caused me to stop using it. Friend said you can use the same gizmo people use to recharge car batteries- but I wonder if that'd cause the whole thing to blow up or catch fire.
All I could find on Google was reference to motherboard- so I'm already lost.
2. This is somewhat due to my habit of not taking anything out of the box til I'm ready to use it- PC lasted a little over 5 months, by which time the warranty had expired. Less than a week after I started using it the internal speaker quit, but no other signs that there was anything wrong.
Turning it on goes to 'computer repair,' which fails, then goes to a bunch of blue rectangular boxes with various options. Tried all options, nothing worked.
3. PC I used the longest- the power button 'decided' to stop working. Occasionally it did, but usually not. When it did turn on and work for awhile, it'd usually shut itself off.
It's the only PC that I can easily open and see inside, but I didn't notice anything loose.
Are any of these issues something I can easily fix? I hate to throw out computers, but they're taking up a lot of space.
