Tech Fixes
12 step-by-step guides for the most common technology problems. Each starts with a quick fix and follows with the rest of the diagnostic ladder.
Fix: Windows PC running slow
Your Windows PC takes minutes to boot, opens applications slowly, and feels laggy even on simple tasks.
Fix: Android battery draining fast
Your Android phone's battery is dying in hours, even when you're not using it heavily.
Fix: Chrome browser crashing or frozen
Chrome locks up, shows 'Aw, Snap!' pages, or crashes shortly after launch.
Fix: Gmail not receiving or sending email
Emails aren't arriving, outgoing messages stay in the outbox, or the Gmail app shows sync errors.
Fix: Google Drive sync errors on desktop
The Google Drive desktop client shows 'unable to sync', 'paused', or files don't appear across devices.
Fix: Wi-Fi keeps disconnecting
Your laptop or phone keeps dropping the Wi-Fi connection, sometimes every few minutes.
Fix: Printer not printing
You hit print but nothing happens, or jobs queue and never start.
Fix: VPN won't connect or keeps dropping
Your VPN client shows 'connecting' indefinitely or drops after a few minutes.
Fix: Proxy 'connection refused' or 'timeout'
An app or browser configured to use a proxy can't connect — you see 'connection refused', 'timeout', or 'proxy failed to respond'.
Fix: Browser keeps redirecting to ads or unknown sites
Clicking a link or opening a new tab leads to ad pages, 'You won a prize' pop-ups, or unknown search engines.
Fix: Laptop running hot or fans always on
Your laptop's fans run constantly, the case feels hot, and performance drops under load (thermal throttling).
Fix: Phone not charging or charging slowly
Your phone won't charge, charges intermittently, or charges much slower than usual.
