How to check if a repair shop swapped parts on my computer?

I had a virus on my desktop, so I've taken to a place of repair & paid $109 for the (much longer than the original quote of $29) abduction, anyway... I'll be back it & it doesn't even seem the same computer I took repair. It sounds old (like this noise gargle 1995 computer), the graphics look shit & it runs much more slowly than before. I used to be able to open my photos & now they take minutes to load of pop. I wonder if I was somehow scammed... as perhaps the place of repair took advantage of my lack of knowledge & exchanged out of somewhere or something? My computer is a little over a year old, but it works like an old machine. Help, please! Any advice?

Go to the Dell website, where they have an option to display the original configuration of your device when you buy. It simply enter the "Service Tag" of your device, you can find it at the back of your office. Look for a white sticker that is labeled as numero number series, enter the tag to the link below and it will list down the information on your computer.

I suspect the fan and pulled out the fan cleaned and tested the fan on a PSU, worked out well. He put it back together, ran startup repair and now the computer is operating normally. The fan is however not appear to come at all. In the Device Manager it tells me it works very well. I'm all good with the mechanical side of the House, but I'm a quamby operating system!

    Thought that replace the fan but don't want to go that far just to get no results. Currently using the vacuum on low like an external fan and didn't want to just run the laptop with no cooling for fear of permanent damage. Although children watch movies with her on their doona may have already reached this!

    If the Windows license is an OEM license (ie. the computer was purchased from a company like Dell, HP, etc. with pre-installed Windows), then the license is bound to the machine.  Each manufacturer has a way to check their OEM license is valid.  One method is for the manufacturer to place a code in the BIOS of the motherboard that validates the copy of XP, when installed with a floppy disk to install from the same manufacturer.  So it should be perfectly legitimate to restore license OEM to the originating from a floppy to install OEM computer.

  • How to skip the Startup Repair...

    How to skip the Startup Repair... I started from the install disc and want to "restore full backup for PC. I selected the partition with the corrupt windows installation. The process is suspended, check disk for errors. This check can be ignored. I know it is corrupted and you want to restore completely. No need for this control.

    Hello

    What happens if you leave the disk check to run its course without interfering with it?

    And it is not a good idea to have a backup on the same hard drive, due to the possible failure of the Hard Drive altogether.

    I'm sorry, but nobody here knows why, your system is damaged. There may be problems with bad sectors on the hard disk.

    I suggest download you Diagnostic tools for your hard drive manufacturer, make a Bootable disc and run a diagnostic test to see what the problems are, if any, there is with this hard drive.

    iPod Classic stopped display work.  Work displayed in iTunes.  Updated iTunes to 12.4 but did not help.  I can see how to check and uncheck "Display work" in iTunes but not how on the iPod as others have suggested.  Need to perhaps restore and recharge.

    Long ago with including works on devices was optional, and you can sometimes fix cache work on a device by not including and then add it again. This choice has long since disappeared. A complete restoration and reloading is now the only method to recreate the cache.
