If your computer seems to be broken, it just can't work, or it seems nothing happened when you turn it on. Or maybe you hear a long beep.
In this condition, don't panic. You can turn off the computer (if it's on but nothing is seen on the monitor) by pressing and holding the power button on the casing. Then when it's off, wait for about 1 minute to turn it on again. Sometimes, if you are lucky enough, it will be back to normal. But if you're not lucky, you may need to do something to make it back to normal. Sounds superstitious. Ha...ha...ha...
One thing I always do to solve the problem is opening the casing, and get the memory module (RAM) out. Then, I will clean it using a pencil eraser. Rub the eraser on the golden part of the RAM. Of course it should be a clean eraser. After cleaning it, fix it back and turn it on. This sometimes will solve the problem.BUT I DIDN'T SAY THAT USING THAT ERASER WILL SOLVE ALL PROBLEMS, AS WE KNOW THAT TO FIX SOMETHING WE NEED TO KNOW EXACTLY WHERE THE PROBLEM LIES ON. JUST DO WHEN YOU ARE SURE ENOUGH.
You may also use your camera phone to record the inside of your casing to make sure that you can fix it back.
If you hear one short beep, then it means your that it's in normal condition, but when nothing is on the screen when you turn on the monitor, the problem may be lies on the monitor.
It's better to try using the eraser under the guidance of an experience person.
