Laptop ac adapter elements
What does Your Laptop Power Supply is Composed Of? Many times, when there are power issues, you can hear weird clicking noises coming from the computer. This is usually a tell tale sign that there is a problem with the computer's cooling fan. The cooling fan is a very important feature of the laptop ac adapter. It serves to keep the processor cool enough to function properly without shorting. Computers that have upgrades to the processor or video card will usually need to upgrade their cooling system as well as the stock cooling fans can usually only handle so much.
Another component that many people usually don't consider or even know about is the power board. The power board is often directly mounted onto the mother board and serves as the director of traffic as far as power is concerned inside of your computer. It's job is to regulate 'traffic' between the power cord that draws electricity from the wall socket, to your laptop's internal battery as well as to the mother board. On a smaller level than the surge protector, it also functions to make sure that there isn't too much power travelling through the system as well. You still need to use a power strip as the power board only does this function at a small level inside of your computer.
Another element of your laptops power system is the AC adapter. This is the box that is situated in the middle of your power cord. It transforms the alternating current that comes from the plug in your wall and turns it into direct current for the use of your laptop.
People usually don't consider the wall jack as part of their laptop's power supply, and this can cause a bit of aggravation when power issues are being addressed. If your laptop's battery needs charging, and it isn't properly plugged into the wall, or if your home's power supply is somehow faulty, this can cause some pretty big headaches if you fail to recognise that your laptop cannot function as a separate entity unto itself.
Some of these are things that you probably wouldn't have previously considered. Knowing what your laptop power supply is composed of and having just a basic understanding of these components can go a long way in helping you to maintain the health and longevity of your laptop computer.

How to Fix a Dim Laptop Monitor
Occasionally, you may find your laptop's monitor is too dim for your liking. A normal desktop computer's monitor has an on-board menu system that lets you adjust the brightness and picture control settings as you please. A laptop monitor has no such controls. You can adjust the brightness of your laptop monitor using your laptop's keyboard.
Press and hold the ""FN"" key on your laptop's keyboard. This is the ""Function"" key, which operates much the same way that the ""Shift"" key does: It allows keyboard buttons to be used for multiple purposes. It's located in the lower left corner of most laptop keyboards, next to the ""Windows,"" ""CTRL"" and ""ALT"" keys.
Look at the top row of keys on your keyboard for a key with a tiny triangle pointing upwards and the symbol of a sun on it. This is the ""Increase Brightness"" key. With the ""FN"" key held down, press the ""Increase Brightness"" key. On most laptop keyboards this is the ""F7"" key, but it varies depending on the model.
Continue to hold down the ""FN"" and ""Increase Brightness"" key until your dim laptop monitor has reached the level of brightness you require. A laptop monitor can only get so bright. It will stop at its highest setting.
Release the ""FN"" and ""Increase Brightness"" keys. You have now fixed your dim laptop monitor.
