Doing Your Own Computer Repairs

Filed under: Tips & Solutions — Ruth @ 9:48 pm

Have you ever installed a new component in your computer? Did you know that it isn’t that hard to learn? :)

Saturday I exchanged my DVDrom drive for a DVD/CD burner and guess what, it wasn’t as hard as I had feared. First I went online and checked for sites that show how to do it. I copied some notes and printed out instructions, then tried it out on an older computer with a spare CDrom drive, while I had this computer open to that site. When that worked, I shut this one down and tried it here with the new DVD burner I had bought with some Christmas gift money. Voila! It worked right off!

You may not want exactly this kind of drive, but these are the links I found most helpful. You might click around on the sites and see if they have instructions for whatever you need to fix.
