How do you solve your tech problems?

[pointermemory]

Google is always my go-to-guy for every tech problem. Next is forums. I dont have any techie friends and most of them come to me :spiteful:

 

[raksharqi]

I agree with PointerMemory. Google is great for any tech problems. As long as you know what you're searching for .

Honestly i wish i can have all the info on google in my brain. Have you realize that google means to search? now a dictionary word.thumbs :good: up to google guys

Hello,
The first thing I do to solve a problem is to search google.
Segndo What is search the technical support forums because usually there is always a person who has been the same.
If doing these two things I can not resolve, then I do a backup and format the PC and problem solved!!

You're right AlexBen. That solution never fails. Also has many side benefits like improving the overall speed, cleaning out junk, etc. etc. When I did that a year ago, it was as though I had a new computer.

Google or Trial and Error method.

a support staff of mine is the first person that ask for anything windows based because she is a computer geek, then for anything linux its google using a 'dork' and the name of one of several linux forums am a reader of.
if are unfamiliar with what a google dork is,this is an example of the sort of thing am likely to search [or used to be, prior to getting this laptop]-

WINE not working inurl:linuxquestions.org

the 'dork' is a code that manipulates google into doing something,in this case it is 'inurl:' which makes google search specificaly only that site,the key words have to be put before inurl.

Never thought Google could be manipulated, always thought it was the other way round.

I learned how to fix a lot of tech problems without using Google but sometimes you just can't help relying on it.
That said, if you don't do any funny stuff you might not even need to fix your PC. It'll run for years without problems.

When I have any problem, then I try to fix on my own first, and then if that doesn't work, them im going for Google help, and it actualy fixes all my wonders and problems . Google is such an amazing thing.

Thats really cool, so you kind of know what to do everytime

 

[velocitynepal]

i just google it and take some sugesstion from forms like this . this forum is really doing well............

 

[BillD]

I've been a "techie" for many years (yeah, I'm OLD!), but when I get stuck, google is my best friend. If only google could help me learn to say "no" when everybody and their dog ask me to "just take a quick look". Yeah, I'm also a softie.

 

[GigaGreg]

This is a really good way to learn jakarta.

 

[Sohil876]

I like to figure them out myself, or I ask friends as well for really advanced problems.

This, + (when still not enough) ask on forums, + (if still not enough) Googling definetly works in the end

 

[Serven]

I'm quite good with solving most of the problems myself, but have a good circle of tech friends I can ask in case I don't know the answer. Sometimes I Google in between as well.

 

[GigaGreg]

Sometimes is better to have tech friends who always will give a better help than a Google.

if the problem is on the os, i just reinstall the os, most software problem will solved :diablo:
