Computer Repairman
Computers, which are widely used today, generally need repair and maintenance over time. Computers can malfunction in many ways due to software, hardware, and mechanical parts. People who generally maintain malfunctioning computers are called computer repairmen. Software and hardware malfunctions are generally handled by content creators or programmers. Mechanical issues are handled by people expert in their field, called computer programmers or technicians.
Maintenance Stage
As a result of research on the computer, the computer repairman who conducts the research performs either a format reset or replaces mechanical parts upon finding the malfunction. During part checks, components such as RAM, hard disk, processor, motherboard, and power supply are checked sequentially. If these parts are functional, the next step is software intervention.
Software Operations
In software operations, the integrity of the motherboard and processor is first determined. If these two components are functional, a health scan is performed on the existing hard disk, and if it is healthy, a format operation is applied. The formatting process is done using either a CD drive or a USB drive. During formatting, the computer repairman may perform disk recovery operations depending on the situation. After the licensing processes during formatting, the necessary installations and reset operations are initiated. This process can take a long or short time depending on the computer's speed. If the computer has an old operating system, this process takes longer. The reset performed during software operations brings the computer to a healthier state, and then the drivers for components connected to the computer, such as the graphics card, sound card, and network card, are installed. Programs are generally used for these operations nowadays.
