Computer Service in Connecticut
Posted by admin in computer service on 01 17th, 2010If you are like most people, you think
computer service is for people that have something wrong with their computers, not for a computer that is running. Computer maintenance really falls into a few different modes which Ill make an attempt to define.
Denial Mode : Problems? I don’t have any problems.
Most computer users / owners only fix a problem after it becomes a crisis for them. That is to say, your computer might be running as loud as a truck for 6 months but it only gets attention after it decides not to turn on one day. The problem that needed “fixing” has been there for 6 months and could have been eliminated in under an hour for about $50, but now, it will take more time and more money. There used to be a car repair commercial that had a tagline ” You can pay me know, or you can pay me later” and to a certain extent is true when it comes to computer repair. There are many things computers do or dont do that should alert us as users that there may be a problem than can be easily addressed now but if you wait long enough will be catastrophic tomorrow. Have you ever had a hard drive crash on you? It is one of these “OH NO” experiences because most people aren’t prepared for the options they have. When was the last backup done? Ever? Do you have the Operating System Disks that came with the computer? How many songs were there? Do you even remember how many programs you had installed and operating?
There are companies, local and national, that offer data recovery services for failed harddrives but make sure your checking account has a high balance because these places charge thousands of dollars to recover your digital pictures and music files.
Complacency Mode : I know its broken, but I dont have the time to fix it.
Really, not a lot of difference between this user and the denial user. The result will be the same ( See Panic ) The complacent user is aware that they have a problem, but believes that they just dont have the time to deal with it. The problem will fester this way until the user is forced to deal with it by graduating to the next category ..Panic Mode
Panic Mode : Ohmygod Ohmygod Ohmygod Ohmygod
This is a full failure due to a hardware problem or sometimes a software problem. It usually means that the user will have to deal with loss of use ( crippling for business users ) or loss of data ( devastating for business users ) or a combination of both. While it is possible to recover from either of these positions, it will be costly. Independent statistics claim up to 90% of businesses that lose data caused by a disruption or disaster are forced to close down within two years.
These computer problems can be avoided with preventative maintenance. The term Computer maintenance has all too often been mis applied by users as being the result of what happens when your computer “breaks” or fails. Computer Maintenance is really about taking steps to make sure you never get to “Panic” mode. It doesnt have to be expensive. Companies like ePRO, LLC can make arrangements with you to come to your home or office and physically clean your computer once per year by vacuuming the dust and debris than can choke off the air supply to the internal components of your computer. Companies like
ePRO, LLC can also arrange to remotely monitor the condition of your computer and offer plans to “peek” at your computers health status once a month. Computer Maintenance plans come is a wide range of options that can be a s simple as a site visit once per year to make sure everything is running properly, to all encompassing monthly remote monitoring.
Even though computer maintenance options plans might add a few dollars to the operating costs of your computer, it is far less expensive to proactively maintain your computer than the type of reactive repair costs you will need to deal with in the event of a catastrophic failure. Call a computer service company like ePRO, LLC today

Technology News and Gadgets – Evolving Science
Posted by admin in tech news on 01 13th, 2010As a great majority of the world’s young population would agree, ever since the advent of the internet new technologies, news and devices have become available, things that were even unimaginable such as an infra-red and virtual laser projection keyboard, phones with cameras, mp3s, video and internet browsing capabilities are now out there and ready to be tested.
Most of this technology is actually still unknown to some people. For instance, TiVos became popular because they can record TV programs with high quality and have a great storage capacity, which completely turns video cassette players obsolete, but there are alternative gadgets and technologies such as video capture cards or USB peripherals that can do the very same thing but without costing us a monthly rental fee.
Bluetooth and WiFi are relatively new concepts which most computer users don’t fully understand but it is used often through Laptops, PDAs and Cell phones. The fact is that users sometimes are unaware of what the technology implies and how it works, they just want to use it and know that it works. While that may be the case with most of us it is always nice to have someone to ask these type of questions when such information is needed.
Fortunately, all that is required to access a vast amount of information regarding gadgets and tech news is a computer with web access. There are several tech portals which deliver several headlines a day so the best way to keep up with them is to subscribe freely to their news and updates feed so that they can be read from one RSS Feed reader, this is the case of blogs, article sites, etc.
Tech forums are also useful when trying to get reviews or opinions about a certain gadget. For example, many people don’t know what the iphone can be “hacked”, this particular term doesn’t mean that someone will access our phone and steal our ring tones and phone numbers, what it means is that extra functionality and applications can be added to unlock or add more features. The same thing can be said of the new gaming consoles from Nintendo “Wii”, most users do not know that Wii’s controllers can be used to play games on laptops or PCs using the motion sensors they have built in and a small application.
The bottom line is, ever since the invention of the web, new technologies and gadget have emerged and they keep emerging, so it is important to keep up through constantly updated social sites, news sites, forums and blogs.

Air Tool Repairs: The Preventative Maintenance Approach
Posted by admin in electronic tool on 01 1st, 2010Air Tool Repairs: The Preventative Maintenance Approach.
Air tools work by using a compressed air supply, which drives the internal workings of the air tool. The most common types of air tools in the manufacturing industry are drills, grinders and sanders. Air powered tools in the industrial market are generally cheaper to run, maintain and have a higher power to weight ratio than their electrical powered counterparts, despite being slightly more expensive in the initial purchase.
Since the initial purchase of a pneumatic tool is more expensive, it is advised that preventative maintenance is carried out, in order to prolong the tools lifespan and keep the tool running at its optimum level. Performing regular maintenance makes it possible to extend the use and reliability of the tool, be it an electric or air powered tool. The most common maintenance procedures would include partial or complete overhauls, oiling and lubricating components.
The alternative to preventative maintenance:
If preventative maintenance is not performed at regular service intervals, the likelihood of a tool failing to work correctly is increased. When a tool is no longer able to perform its required function, corrective maintenance is required. This is a reactive method of tool maintenance whereas preventative maintenance is a proactive measure. Corrective maintenance work may include the replacement of gears, cylinders, rotors, field coils, armatures and gearboxes which are normally expensive to replace.
Repairing Pneumatic tools correctly:
Preventative maintenance should be performed by trained and experienced technicians.The intervals at which maintenance checks can be carried out are typically monthly, quarterly and yearly. Power Tool Sales Ltd offer an air tool repairs service where you are able to set the intervals. In some cases they can provide a replacement tool, during the period yours is being repaired.WEEE Regulations should also be considered when repairing pneumatic tools. Since 2005 Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) is now a law that stats all electronic tools and equipment should be disposed properly to prevent them being dumped in land falls, where led and other toxins can contaminate the environment. Ensuring that Pneumatic tools are working correctly may reduce the possible exposure and effects of hand arm vibration (HAV’s). More information on this can be found here: HAVS Testing
Preventative maintenance is an effective method of ensuring that air tools remain effective and reliable. In the present current economic climate, it is cheaper in most cases to repair a tool when compared to purchasing a new one. Conducting proactive pneumatic tool repairs will also help reduce the risk of exposing tool operators to harmful vibrations.
