🔍💻 In this guide you will learn how to diagnose and solve common problems in your all-in-oneFollow the steps and check the results after each change. 🛠️

🔧 Quick Guide: What to Check First

📌 Before you begin:
• 💾 Make a backup if the system turns on.
• ⚡ Turn off and disconnect the equipment from the power.
• 🖐️ Discharge your static electricity (ESD) by touching an unpainted metal surface.
• 🛡️ Check the manufacturer's warranty conditions.

• 🖥️ Black or broken screen1) Connect an external monitor to eliminate the GPU. 2) Adjust brightness/function keys. 3) If cracks are present, avoid applying pressure to the damaged area and plan for replacement according to the model's manual.
• ⚡ Upgrade of storage: Migrate from HDD to SSD. 1) Verify the format (SATA/M.2). 2) Clone the drive with reliable software. 3) Update the boot order in BIOS.
• 🧠 RAM upgrade: 1) Check compatible type/speed. 2) Install modules that are the same for dual-channel. 3) Run a memory test.
• 🔌 Power connector: 1) Check the cable and socket. 2) Look for play in the connector. 3) If there are sparks or a burning smell, stop using it and proceed to section 🆘.

✅ Electronics and firmware (intermediate level):

• 🔬 Chips (GPU/PCH/regulators): Diagnose overheating with monitoring software and test under light load before considering replacements.
• 💡 BIOS/Firmware: 1) Restore default values. 2) Update to the recommended version. 3) Do not disconnect power during the process.
• ⚡ Short circuits on the board: Signs: sudden shutdowns, clicking, odor. In this case, do not turn on the device: go to 🆘.

✅ Software (basic steps):

• 🧹 Reset Windows 10/11 keeping files and then install drivers from the manufacturer.
• 🛡️ Scan with your antivirus and, if it detects malware complex, performs an offline scan.
• 🔄 Optimize startup: disable unnecessary apps and check for updates.

✨ Key tips for a successful DIY

1. Document changes: : Write down each setting and create restore points.
2. Use compatible spare parts: : consult the model's technical sheet.
3. Keep order: Separate the screws by stage and take photos of the disassembly.
4. Stage test: After each change, check startup and stability.

🆘 When should you see a technician?

Contact a trusted technical service if you notice a burning smell, strange noises, physical damage to the board/screen, data encryption, short circuits, leaks, or if the procedure requires soldering/reballing stations.

👇 Use your preferred method to seek professional help if you feel it is necessary.

🗺️Identification and organization:

📍 Locate the serial number of the equipment to register warranties and compatible spare parts.
🕒 Note the date of each intervention and test results.
