Kumbuyuutarkaas duuga ah oo meel bannaan qaadaya oo siigo ururinayey wuxuu noqday indho-sarcaad. Waxa aad muddo dheer tan iyo markii aad u guurtay kombuyuutar ka weyn, ka wanaagsan, oo tignoolajiyad ahaan aad u horumarsan oo aan hadda wax faa'iido ah u lahayn kaydka noocaas ah. Barnaamijyadu^(Programs) si fudud ayay u socdaan, ciyaaruhu waxay u muuqdaan kuwo firfircoon, maxay tahay sababta suurtogalka ah ee aad u haysan karto inaad sii wadato? Hal eray - dib u habeyn.

In dib loo habeeyo waa in kombayutarka laga dhigo mid weyn mar kale. Taas macnaheedu maaha inaad u baahan tahay inaad maraq u samayso si aad u ciyaarto ciyaarihii ugu dambeeyay iyo kan ugu waaweyn, inkasta oo aad awooddo. Waxa kaliya oo ay la macno tahay in si fiican loo nadiifiyo iyada oo la bedelayo oo la cusboonaysiinayo qaybo, dib u iibinta ama ku raaxaysiga waayihii wacnaa ee maalmihii tagay.

Had iyo jeer waxaad u diri kartaa soo saaraha oo u ogolow inay qabtaan dhammaan qaadista culus. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, soo-saaruhu uma badna inuu dib ugu soo celiyo nidaamkii hore ee qiimaha xitaa ku dhow waxaad filayso. Ka sokow, waxaad waayi doontaa dhammaan madadaalooyinka aad adigu sameysid.

Sida Loo Hagaajiyo Kumbuyuutarka^{(How To Refurbish a Computer)}

Xataa adigoo haysta aqoonta farsamada ee ugu yar, waa inaad awood u yeelatid inaad qaadato mashruucan naftaada. Waxa kaliya ee aad u baahan tahay waa qalabka saxda ah si aad uga saarto qaybaha u baahan dayactirka ama bedelida.

Kaashawiito leh madaxyo kala duwan iyo nooc ka mid ah tooshka ayaa ah waxyaabaha daruuriga ah oo qaawan. Haysashada tijaabiyaha korontada, barnaamijka dib u habeynta kumbuyuutarka ee USB-ga^(USB) , diskka boot-ka, ama wadida adag ee dibadda, iyo qalabka spudger haddii aad isku dayeyso dib u habeynta laptop-ka, sidoo kale waa qalab aad u fiican oo aad ku heli karto.

Haddi yoolkaagu yahay in aad samayso lacag degdeg ah, waxa kale oo aad u baahan doontaa in aad haysato rinji akrilik ah ama calaamad sixir ah oo aad gacanta ku hayso wax kasta oo xoqan ama xagtin muuqda oo ku yaal bannaanka munaaradda.

Samee Kormeerida Qaybaha^{(Perform a Parts Inspection)}

Si aad u bilawdo, waxaad u baahan doontaa inaad hubiso inch kasta oo ka mid ah kombiyuutarka waxyeellada^{(computer for damages)} . Dhibaatooyinka jirku waxay u badan tahay inay noqdaan arrinta ugu weyn ee aad la kulmi doonto markaad dib u soo celinayso kumbiyuutarka sidii uu ahaan jiray. Ku taabo xagal kasta oo ay ku jiraan xagga sare iyo dhinacyada munaaradda ama kiis, ka eeg taageerayaasha jajabyada ama jajabyada, dhammaan dekedaha, xidhayaasha, iyo sahayda korontada.

Iska hubi Motherboard-ka. Ma jiraan arrimo la dareemi karo? Immisa^(How) ka mid ah dekedaha ayaa si toos ah ugu xidhan? Ma leedahay balaadhin? Disk -gu? indhaha^(Optical) ? Si dhammaystiran u yeelo. Aasaaska jireed ee xooggan ayaa lagama maarmaan ah ka hor inta aanan xitaa taaban qaybta software ee dib u habeynta. Dhaawacyo baaxad leh^(Massive) oo aan laga soo kaban karin ayaa kor u qaadi doona kharashka mashruuca waxaana laga yaabaa inay cunaan yoolka lacagta ee laga filayo. Burbur kasta oo aad ogaato waa in la qeexaa.

Markaad dhammayso kormeerka jireed, hel xadhig koronto oo ku xidh isha tamarta. Isku^(Make) day inaad shido kumbuyuutarka. Haddii ay si fiican u timaado, markaas inta soo hartay ee soo celinta waxay u socon doontaa si habsami leh. Sug dhowr daqiiqo maadaama ay qaadan karto wax yar ka dheer in aad bootinta ka dhigto intii aad hore u baran jirtay.

Waxa kale oo suurtogal ah in la maqlo dhawr dhawaaq marka la shido. Tani waa habka qalabku kuu sheego inay wax khaldan yihiin. Laakiin maxaa dhacaya haddii aysan xitaa kicin? Markaa waxay u badan tahay inay jirto dhibaato gudaha ah oo u baahan dareenkaaga.

Muuqaal dhow^{(A Closer Look)}

Bal u fiirso isku-xidhayaasha korontadu ka soo baxayaan qaybta korantada ( PSU ) ilaa Motherboard-ka. Haddii kombayutarku aanu shidn oo xidhidhisku u ekaado si fiican, markaa waxa laga yaabaa inay wax ka khaldan yihiin PSU ama Motherboard-ka.

Haddii aanay jirin beddelaad diyaar ah oo la heli karo, qiimuhu aad buu u badnaan doonaa taasoo ka dhigaysa in dib-u-habayntu aanay u qalmin dadaalka. Xidhiidhada kale ee u muuqda inay khaldan yihiin, sax.

Kumbiyuutarka nadiifka ah^{(A clean computer)} waa kombiyuutar farxad leh. Fursadaha ayaa ah in kiiska gudaha uu yahay mid boodh leh sidaa darteed naftaada qabo kombarestarka hawada oo iska saar. Waxa aad u isticmaali kartaa hawo cufan ee qasacadaysan ama kombaresarada la qaadi karo si aad boodhka uga jafto Motherboard-ka, kaadhadhka, darawalada diskooga, korontada, taageere kasta (gaar ahaan taageeraha CPU ee Motherboard-ka), iyo kiiska.

Haddii aad leedahay kan dambe, ha u tilmaamin kombarada si toos ah qaybaha. Taa beddelkeeda, iska hubi inaad hawada u afuufi si hab luxul ah si aad isaga ilaaliso inaad waxyeello u geysato.

Cusbooneysiinta & Beddelka Qaybaha^{(Parts Upgrades & Replacements)}

Ka saar dhammaan qaybaha aan shaqaynin ama leh dhaawac jidheed oo muuqda. CD-ROM Drive-ka iyo kaadhka dhawaaqa dushiisa waa shay aan muhiim ahayn. Waxaad dooran kartaa inaad ku bedesho wakhtiga firaaqada laakiin looma baahna. Kaarka garaafyada waa sheeko ka duwan. Wixii dhaawac ah ee soo gaara taas waxaadna u baahan doontaa inaad beddesho. Isla sidaas oo kale ayaa laga odhan karaa batteriga CMOS .

CMOS, oo loo soo gaabiyo Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor , waa xusuusta ku taal Motherboard-ka taasoo kaydisa goobaha BIOS- kaaga . Tani waxay si cad u tahay qayb muhiim ah oo ka mid ah xirmada oo dhan. Qaybaha kale ee muhiimka ah ee u muuqda inay burbureen una baahan in la eego waa RAM -ka iyo Hard disk-ga cilladaysan, haddii ay khusayso. Wax kasta oo aad qorshaynayso inaad cusboonaysiiso uma baahna beddel.

Kor u qaad kumbiyuutarka inta aad awooddo. Xitaa haddii RAM u muuqdo mid aan waxyeello lahayn, weli waa fikrad wanaagsan in la cusboonaysiiyo. Hard disk-ga sidoo kale. Haddii ay suurtagal tahay, u cusboonaysii CD-ROM- ka DVD-ga^(DVD) , modem-kana u yeel gigabit ethernet ama kaarka wifi-ga. Doorashadu adiga ayay kugu xidhan tahay, laakiin ciyaartoyga wax ku raadinaya raqiis ah^{(gamer looking for something on the cheap)} , labaduba waxay noqon karaan habka ugu wanaagsan ee loo maro.

Ku Kordhi^{(Power It Up)}

Marka dhammaan qaybaha la beddelo ama la cusboonaysiiyo, kombuyuutarka ku shub si aad u aragto haddii aad gaadhi karto shaashadda BIOS . Dib-u-eegis kumbiyuutar oo dhammaystiran waa fikrad wanaagsan iyada oo aan loo eegin haddii aad qorsheynayso inaad haysato ama iibiso alaabta la dhammeeyey. Darik's Boot iyo Nuke (DBAN)^{(Darik’s Boot and Nuke (DBAN))} waa il furan oo ikhtiyaar ah si looga saaro dhammaan xogta nidaamka kuu oggolaanaya inaad ka bilowdo xoqdo.

Dooro^(Opt) nidaamka hawlgalka casriga ah sida Windows 10 ama Ubuntu/Debian Linux . Rakibaadda labadaba sidoo kale waa ikhtiyaar macquul ah^{(Installing both is also a viable option)} . Hubi inaad haysato meel disk adag oo kugu filan si aad iskaga saarto nidaamka hawlgalka ee aad go'aansato.

Waa inaad sidoo kale ka fekertaa ku rakibida software dheeraad ah, hardware, iyo meelaha hareeraheeda si aad uga dhigto mid soo jiidasho leh iibsadayaasha. Tan waxaa ku jira kaydinta daruuraha &^{(cloud storage & backup)} abka kaydinta, software amniga, kaydinta saxanka dheeraadka ah, iyo sidoo kale kiiboodhka, mouse-ka, iyo kormeeraha. Ku hadlaayasha^(Speakers) , gaar ahaan haddii kaadhka codka la saaray, waxay noqon lahayd wax la tixgeliyo.

Imtixaanka u dambeeya^{(Final Testing)}

Kahor intaadan iibin, waxaad rabi doontaa inaad hubiso in wax walba ay shaqeeyaan. Tijaabi kombiyuutarka adiga oo ku shubaya dhowr ciyaarood oo hore, socodsiiya software duug ah, oo culayska saara qalabka.

Kumbuyuutarrada Windows (10/8/7) waxay leeyihiin Qalabka ^(Tool)Baaritaanka ^{(Diagnostics)}Xusuusta^(Memory) ee horay loogu dhisay si aad u bilowdo. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, waxaan u soo jeedin lahaa UserBenchmark si aad u tijaabiso imtixaan dhamaystiran oo ku saabsan hababkaaga qalabka waaweyn.

How To Refurbish a Computer

That old computer takіng up space and collecting dust has become an eyesore. You’ve long since moved on to а bigger, better, more technologically advanced computer and no longer have аny use for such a relic. Programs run smoother, games look more vibrant, what possible reason could you have for keeping it around any longer? One word – refurbishment.

To refurbish is to make the computer great again. That’s not to say you need to soup it up to play the latest and greatest games, although you could. It just means to clean it up nicely by replacing and upgrading parts, for either resale or enjoying the good ol’ times of days past.

You could always send it in to the manufacturer and let them handle all of the heavy lifting. However, the manufacturer isn’t likely to take the older system back at a price point even near what you’re expecting. Besides, you’d miss out on all of the fun of doing it yourself.

How To Refurbish a Computer

Even with a minimal amount of technical knowledge, you should be able to take on this project yourself. All you’ll need is the proper tools to remove the parts in need of repair or replacement.

A screwdriver set with varying heads and some sort of flashlight are the bare essentials. Having a power supply tester, a computer reimaging program on a USB, boot disk, or external hard drive, and a spudger tool if you’re attempting a laptop refurbish, are also great tools to have handy.

If your goal is to make a quick buck, you’ll also want to have some acrylic paint or a magic marker on hand for any scuffs or visible scratches in the tower exterior.

Perform a Parts Inspection

To begin, you’ll want to inspect every inch of the computer for damages. Physical problems are more likely to be the biggest issue you’ll face when restoring a computer to its former glory. Touch on every angle including the top and sides of the tower or case, inspect the fans for chips or breaks, all of the ports, connectors, and power supply.

Check the motherboard. Any noticeable issues? How many of the ports are directly connected? Do you have expansions? Disk drives? Optical? Be thorough. A strong physical foundation is necessary before we can even touch on the software portion of the refurbishment. Massive, irreparable damages will drive up the cost of the project and may eat into your expected money goal. Any damage you discover should be annotated.

Once you finish the physical inspection, find a power cord and plug it into a power source. Make an attempt to turn the computer on. If it comes on just fine, then the rest of the restoration will go by smoothly. Wait a few minutes as it could take a little longer to boot than you’re used to.

It’s also possible to hear a few beeps when powered on. This is the hardware’s way of telling you that something is wrong. But what happens if it doesn’t even power on? Then there’s likely to be an internal problem in need of your attention.

A Closer Look

Take a look at the power connectors going from the power supply unit (PSU) to the motherboard. If the computer didn’t turn on and the connections look fine, then there’s probably something wrong with the PSU or motherboard.

Without readily available replacements, the cost will be too high making the refurbishment likely not worth the effort. Any other connections that appear incorrect, correct them.

A clean computer is a happy computer. The chances are the inside of the case is rather dusty so grab yourself an air compressor and dust it out. You can use compressed air in a can or a portable compressor to dust off the motherboard, cards, disk drives, power supply, any fans (especially the CPU fan on the motherboard), and the case.

If you have the latter, do not point the compressor directly at the parts. Instead, make sure to blow out the air in a waving fashion to avoid causing damages.

Parts Upgrades & Replacements

Remove all parts that do not work or have obvious physical damage. A CD-ROM drive and onboard sound card are non-essential items. You can choose to replace them at your leisure but it’s not necessary. The graphics card is a different story. Any damage to that and you’ll need to replace it. The same can be said of the CMOS battery.

CMOS, short for Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor, is the memory located on the motherboard which stores your BIOS settings. This is clearly an important part of the whole package. Other important parts that appear damaged and will need to be looked at are the RAM and faulty hard disk, if applicable. Anything you plan to upgrade will not need replacing.

Upgrade the computer as far as you can. Even if the RAM appears undamaged, it’s still a good idea to upgrade it. The hard disk as well. If possible, upgrade the CD-ROM to DVD, and the modem to either gigabit ethernet or a wifi card. The choice is up to you but for a gamer looking for something on the cheap, both may be the better way to go.

Power It Up

Once all parts have been replaced or upgraded, power on the computer to see if you can reach the BIOS screen. A complete computer reimaging is a good idea regardless if you plan to keep or sell the finished product. Darik’s Boot and Nuke (DBAN) is an open-source option to remove all data from the system allowing you to begin from scratch.

Opt for a more modern operating system like Windows 10 or Ubuntu/Debian Linux. Installing both is also a viable option. Ensure that you have enough hard disk space to pull off whichever operating system you decide.

You should also think about installing additional software, hardware, and peripherals to make it appear more appealing to buyers. This includes cloud storage & backup apps, security software, additional disk storage, as well as a keyboard, mouse, and monitor. Speakers, especially if the sound card was removed, would be something to consider.

Final Testing

Before you can sell it, you’ll want to make sure that everything works. Test the computer out by loading up a few older games, running older software, and stressing the hardware.

Windows computers (10/8/7) have the Memory Diagnostics Tool already built in to get you started. However, I would suggest UserBenchmark for a more thorough test reading of your major hardware systems.
