tech support infor

This corner is for you guys to ask question on any technical method such as how to manage you personal laptop and computer at home or office. From time to time myself will update some tech infor from my side as well.
Hope this will help you guys;

IP ADDRESS:
Have you guys ever want to see your ip address when connect to internet or network connection but do not know how to do it so. I will guide you guys to obtain your IP ADDRESS.


Step 1:
Go to the start menu and select Run.... Then type cmd in the box and click OK.
start-->run

cmd
Step 2:
 At the C:\> prompt type ipconfig . Then press Enter. Your IP address, subnet mask and default gateway will be returned to you. If your IP address is 192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x, or 172.16.x.x, then you are receiving an internal IP address from a router or other device. The IP address that the world sees is that of the router. If you are receiving a 169.254.x.x address, this is a Windows address that generally means your network connection is not working properly. On ResNet, the only valid IP addresses will begin with 152.7.
ipconfig

Step 3:
 If you want more detailed information about your network connection, type ipconfig /all at the prompt. Here you can get the same information as ipconfig with the addition of your MAC (hardware) address, DNS and DHCP server addresses, IP lease information, etc. If your IP address is 192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x, or 172.16.x.x, then you are receiving an internal IP address from a router or other device. The IP address that the world sees is that of the router. If you are receiving a 169.254.x.x address, this is a Windows address that generally means your network connection is not working properly.
ipconfig /all

Step 4:
 If you are having trouble with your  connection, it may be fixed by releasing and renewing your IP address. Type ipconfig /release at the prompt and press enter. Then type ipconfig /renew and press enter again. If your connection is okay, a valid IP address, subnet mask and default gateway will be returned to you after a few seconds.
ipconfig /release

ipconfig /renew


other available ipconfig Syntax:
 

  IPCONFIG /flushdns    Purge the DNS Resolver cache.

  IPCONFIG /registerdns Refresh all DHCP leases and re-register DNS names.

  IPCONFIG /displaydns  Display the contents of the DNS Resolver Cache.

  IPCONFIG /showclassid adapter
                        Display all the DHCP class IDs allowed for adapter.

  IPCONFIG /setclassid  adapter [classid]
                        Modify the dhcp class id.

Blue screen or laptop won't start ?


Hi guys, have you guys ever encounter this issue. You were in middle of surfing and then your laptop screen turn blue or you just wanted to start your laptop but it just won't start up ? What would you guys normally do? Bring it to your computer shop and the sales person will said to you, sorry sir/ madam your laptop is attacked by virus and need to reformat it. and it cost you RM 60 / usd 25...Have you guys come across this issue? I had this issue during my university times when i first expose myself to technology as a BSc(hons) in computing student An Asus tech support thought me this. Which is I still practice  and apply when  my user come across this issue .When your laptop turn blue or  won't start up.Do not be panic or bring the laptop to shop. First thing you need to do is check this!

 Steps to be follow:


1 .Turn Off the power supply.
2. Turn your laptop back.
3. Open the part where you harddisk contain with screw driver
4. Tighten up your loosen harddisk - (normally there is some space between harddisk and the edge which cause harddisk to come out of it's place)
5. Start your laptop and there goes your laptop already ready to be used.



 
You are advise to do this if your laptop is out of warranty because once you open your harddisk with the seal's still there. You will loss your warranty claims. So next time you come across blue screen do not rush to computer shop but get a screw driver and open your harddisk container .Check if the harddisk have come out of it's place first. Push the harddisk in and make sure it is tight.

Note: If you worried it will come out again , What you can to do is, get a rubber eraser and cut it and put it ,in empty space in between the edge and harddisk . Make sure each 6 months your change the rubber eraser.
