    How do you restore your PC to factory default?

    November 12th, 2008

    ** MAKE BACKUPS OF YOUR IMPORTANT DATA **
    I recommend using Acronis True Image to back up your data before you start this procedure. If you have important documents, don’t forget to copy them to an external drive or CD / DVD media. You will be hard pressed to get it back if you forget!!

    With OEM’s like DELL or HP, you usually either are provided with discs, have to create your own discs or have a restore partition.

    You really need to go to your manufacturer’s website and get the specific instructions for your model but here are some common ways to do it.

    HP
    F10 at boot screen.
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/docum…

    DELL
    CTRL + F11 at boot screen.
    http://support.dell.com/support/topics/g…

    *Disconnect all connected devices (such as the Personal Media Drive, USB drives, printer, and fax), remove media from drives, and remove any recently added internal hardware. Do not disconnect the monitor, keyboard, mouse, and power cord.

    Generic PC with Windows OS:
    Insert original installation disc into your drive and boot to that drive. Make sure you have your Motherboard drivers (Chipset, Video, Audio, Ethernet, Modem, etc.) handy as you will need this after the OS is installed. You will also need to perform all upgrades to your OS like SP2 or SP3 on Windows XP and SP1 on Vista if your recovery media does not contain those updates.

    Dell Inspiron 8100

    July 12th, 2008

    Dell Inspiron 8100

    Today, we had a Dell Inspiron 8100 come into the shop with 2 issues:

    1. THE REAR FANS WERE NOT SPINNING
    2. THE VIDEO WAS 1/4 NORMAL SIZE DURING START UP.
    1. After using a can of Dust Off on the back fans, I noticed they were not spinning as freely as they should.  I ordered a new set of Dell Part# 068RU fans and installed them.  Installation of these fans is pretty intense, you have to remove everything to get to them.  For some reason DELL decided to place the plugs for the fans underneath the motherboard!  So, there is your $90.00 in labor right there.  The client also wanted Windows XP installed on the laptop, which they provided.  Then I installed a program for DELL FAN control in XP.
    2. After configuring the FANS I installed the new drivers for the nVIDIA go display adapter and re sized the screen to 1024 X 768.  It worked fine after that.  The Dell Inspiron 8100’s have what is called “optimal resolution”, it is designed to be run at 1600 X 1200.  If you just want to re size it with the current driver installed, hold the  FN key and F7 at the same time.  It will maximize your screen.

    I 'm which has some difficulties? with audio on my laptop pavilion zv5255us dell'HP. The sound card / audio functions in order to know it 's not a problem with the driver, but I can? usually get only sound when I apply pressure to the laptop, next to the headphone. There? when evidence seems to listen through the speakers and through headphones. I 'VE the recently bought a turtle beach audio amigo advantage to help the situation and it works great with headphones but I don' t think there 'sense of SA run it through my laptop speakers. As travel m? Lto I don 't want the obligation to buy external speakers to listen to audio without headphones but are willing to do this if necessary. I should also note that buying a new laptop for about a year cos? don 't want to do all the repairs / updates on this expensive laptop. Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.
