Hi people! :)
As I am still starting to post on this blog, let me give you an idea of what I will be sharing with you.
One of my interests include travelling so definitely, I would share some places I've been to and the experiences I had during my trips. Well, my travels are within my beloved Philippines (hope not to your disappointment) but I am dreaming of travelling the world ( hopefully one day soon).
By profession I'm an electronics engineer so I would also share with you some electronics theories and my own experiences as air navigation system specialist.
To start...
Today, or tonight- because I am on an evening shift, the computer in our equipment room just turned completely off and we can't turn it on no mattter how hard I press the switch. We also didn't know what happened or the time it shut down or who used it last.
It's a deadset ( deadset - a term we use to any electronic gadget not turning on, just like d-e-a-d) In deadset cases, the usual problem is the power supply. I tried inpecting the power source, the AVR but it is working. I measured the voltage at the wall socket, it is 220 volts.
Out of desperation and because I do not want to open the CPU, I just unplug all the power cords from the CPU to the AVR and replug it again. I pressed the switch, voila! to no avail ( uh! ). I tried doing the process three or four times and thankfully, the computer turned on in my last attempt.
I cannot explain what happened. Maybe the computer just needs some rest as it is always on 24/7 even if there are times no one is using it. Maybe, there are some loose connections on the wires. Or maybe, it is just playing games on me. Whatever...It happens sometimes with equipments and electronic gadget. For now, I relish the joy of having the computer alive and kicking once again. Troubleshooting for the real cause could wait..
So long peeps!
