HOW THE INTERNET WORKS FOR DUMMIES


Take for example when somebody types www.komputercoach.blogspot.com the computer send an HTTP(Hypertext Transfer Protocol) request to google's public server of coarse you know blogspot is hosted by google.

          So the server get the HTTP request it will create and send an HTML(Hypertext Markup Language) File back to the computer. So the computer processes the HTML file and the files you request for comes to life now you can see the post which i post on this website, you click the any post this same process repeat itself again. So now you know when you type the name of a website what you are actually doing is that you are connecting to server.

SIMPLE WAY OF TROUBLESHOOTING A POWER PACK

In this post today am going to be teaching you guys on how to do a simple power pack TROUBLESHOOTING. I found out that most times when a system unit refuse to boot people tend to conclude that their power pack is either faulty or damage and people find it difficult to troubleshoot a POWER PACK OR POWER SUPPLY
First and foremost what is a power pack, a power pack is an OFF-BOARD COMPONENTS in a system unit used to supply power to all the components in the computer system e.g MOTHERBOARD, CD-ROM, HARD DRIVE, e.t.c An example of a power pack is seen below
POWER SUPPLY

                                             A POWER SUPPLY WITH CONNECTORS

TOOLS NEEDED FOR TROUBLESHOOTING A POWER PACK

1.SCREW DRIVER

2. A CONDUCTOR(could be a copper or a wire)

NOW LETS GET STARTED. Take the screw driver and unscrew the nut holding the chasis or atx cover, when you might have open the the atx cover locate the power pack or power supply and unplug all the neccesary connectors connecting to the motherboard. Now unscrew the power pack so that you wil be able to remove the POWER PACK

NOTE. A power pack or power supply connector is called an IDE( INTEGRATED DRIVE ELECTRONICS)














Now take the 24 pin ATX CONNECTOR, now this where we make use of our the conductor(COPPER WIRE) i listed above.
Identify the GREEN and BLACK wire they are both close together  connect both pins with the conductor , Now power your power supply to see if it is still working, if the cooling fan rotates it means your POWER PACK is still functioning but if its not rotating that means your power supply is damage.

PRECAUTION

1. Ensure to avoid touching naked wire or cable to avoid electric shock.

2. Ensure to unplug the power cable from the power pack or power supply when then it is not in use.

3. Ensure your foot wear is dry or not wet.
