Malfunctioning Speakers While working on a homework assignment, you decide to listen to one of your
favorite music CDs through your computer speakers. The media player program on your computer
automatically starts when you insert the CD. Although it looks like the CD is playing, no sound is coming
from your speakers. What might be causing this? What is the first step that you will take to correct this
problem?

Malfunctioning Speakers
 The sound might be muted or the volume turned down; adjust accordingly There
may be a problem with your computer recognizing the sound card; check the
drivers

Check volume settings

Often, no sound in the Microsoft Windows Media Player may be corrected by

adjusting the volume controls at the bottom of the program window. Moving
the slider from the left to the right turns up the volume. If the slider is to the
left, the volume is zero.

Make sure not muted

Make sure the Windows Media Player sound icon is not pressed in.

Check your Windows volume and sound settings

Ensure that the volume icon in the notification area is not turned down or muted, as it
causes you not to hear any sound.

Removing Germs While recovering from an illness, you realize that by

using your computer during your illness, you probably left some germs
behind on the keyboard and mouse. How will you clean these devices so
that your family members will not become sick?

Removing Germs

Purchase a cleaning product safe for your computer and wipe down your
keyboard, mouse, screen, and any other area that might harbor germs.

4 steps to clean your keyboard and mouse

1. Disconnect your mouse and keyboard
First, if your keyboard is plugged into the computer, unplug it. If it’s wireless, switch it off.
For keyboards that are part of a laptop, shut the device down and disconnect the power chord.
If the battery is accessible and easy to remove, do that as well.

The same goes for your mouse. Disconnect it from your computer and take out the batteries. If
it’s wireless, simply flip it over, turn it off and take out the batteries. It’s important to have all
power sources either shut off or disconnected while you clean your components. This will
prevent electrical shorts and other potentially damaging results.

2. Start spraying and swabbing

Grime build-up and loose dust particles go deeper than just the top of the keys or the scroll
wheel. You need something that can easily fit into those tight corners and small crevices.

3. Make sure everything is dry

Before you plug everything back in again, be sure all components are dry. A little dampness
can cause big problems and permanently ruin electronic devices once power is flowing
through them.
It should only take about a minute for your mouse and keyboard to dry after cleaning, but if it
seems to be taking a little longer, it’s worth the wait. Never power up any device until it is
completely dry.

4. How to keep them clean

The simplest way to keep things clean is to refrain from eating next to or on top of your
keyboard. This will keep crumbs from falling between the keys. If you had chicken wings,
nachos or any other finger food, remember to wash up before putting greasy fingers on either
the mouse or the keyboard.

Aside from not eating or drinking around the devices on your desk, it’s just as important to
wipe them down on a regular basis. If you find yourself using your computer every day for
long periods of time, consider wiping the computer and desk area at least once a week with a
dust cloth. This will keep any germs or bacteria at bay.
