8 Ways to Know If There is a Need for a Laptop Service

Laptop working slow is the most common issue, which most of us face. Therefore, a laptop service will diagnose the issue and ensure that the antivirus is installed or if any part needs replacement or any software needs to be updated. When your laptop starts to breakdown, there is generally an advance warning like noise from the hard drive, a blue screen error, the laptop restarts automatically, etc. So, if you notice these warning signs, it is an indication there is a need for a laptop service before it turns into a serious issue.

Below is the list of some ways to know, the necessity for a laptop service:

1.The battery won’t charge:

If the battery is not inserted properly, the fuse of the power valve could have got blasted due to surge safety. In a few cases, if the laptop is overheating then also the battery sensor gets an incorrect signal from inside and starts acting unusually. If the battery has crossed its lifetime, then also you should get it replaced. In such cases, one should look for laptop service for the longevity of their device.

2. Blue screen error:

When the operating system stops processing, the screen turns blue. It is also known as the Blue Screen of Death, which is a serious issue. There can be a problem with the hardware or the hardware’s driver software. Although, restarting your laptop helps but if you frequently face this error, then download the Onedios app and raise a request for laptop service.

3. Programs Running slow:

If several programs are installed or running altogether, then it puts a lot of pressure on the RAM or physical memory. In case the CPU has been blocked or bottlenecked, the laptop will run slow. If your laptop is full of games then also the program will run slow. If disk usage remains consistently max for a long duration, it might degrade the health of physical storage and you might need laptop service for that.

4. Overheating:

Laptops are prone to overheating. It is very normal for your laptop to release a bit of heat, but if it is overheating then there is a need for you to call a laptop service expert by downloading the app Onedios. A laptop that severely overheats can damage the internal parts.  Although the laptop-cooling pad will aid in reducing the problem, if the fan is running continuously, it means that the cooling pad is not at all effective. Your laptop has some internal issues, that need to be addressed.

5. Virus:

It is very important to install antivirus software on your laptop. If you start to notice that your applications are behaving weirdly or you notice a new icon or change in your settings, your laptop has been attacked by a virus. You should call a laptop service expert for installing and running antivirus software on your laptop.

6. Software failure:

Due to a software error or failure, the laptop takes a lot of time to start. The other indication of software failure is consistent changes to the operating system, frequent crashes, overheating issues, nonfunctional icons, etc. Manual fixing is quite a tedious task and requires an ample amount of effort, one should opt for laptop service for a smooth recovery.

7. Uninterrupted error messages:

Getting sporadic error messages is very common in laptops.  But, if these errors or alerts start to come regularly, then it’s a cause of worry. The reason could be a virus or failing hardware or an installation of a corrupted program. It is advisable to raise a request for laptop service in order to stop the spreading of the virus and possible recovery of the corrupted files.

8. Unusual noises:

A laptop does make a little noise, which is very normal. But if you start to notice inexplicable or unusual sounds regularly, it could be an indication of some major issue on the laptop. If you hear your fan running continuously and loudly, don’t overlook it, immediately look for laptop service assistance as the issue can get worse.

Guide for Bike and Car Service and Maintenance.

We all have experienced a nightmare scenario as car owners: An unexpected or surprising breakdown that takes the car or bike out of commission and costs hundreds of bucks or more to fix. Sometimes, there’s nothing you can do to prevent that.  But, following a regular bike and car service can prevent many serious automotive breakdowns and issues. 

Regular maintenance or service prevents little problems from becoming big issues. Investing a smaller amount to keep your bike or car’s health on top can save you from the kind of major vehicle trouble that may take a huge bite out of your finances.

It is really frustrating to experience any sort of car inconveniences like the need for a car or bike tyre repair, especially at a time when you are at your home and in a rush or are a long way from an auto shop. These types of incidents can be avoided with a regular check-up and service.

Why bike and car service is important.

  1. Keeps Car Performing at its Best

    Your car will perform better if you are slacking on maintenance services. Imagine getting better tyre traction, more stable steering, and the more reliable engine starts.
    Well, all of that is possible if you just schedule the routine maintenance appointment. Don’t have the time? Don’t worry about it! OneDios is the most convenient, time-saving option out there. It takes just a few seconds to book your appointment, then you can leave the rest on us. We will get your vehicle up and performing at its best.

  2. Increases Safety

    Keeping up on your routine bike and car service will increase your safety while on the road. It will prevent parts from breaking and bigger issues from arising. But if you constantly take care of your bike and car and check the systems that might develop troubles, you will take away the risk of dealing with the malfunctioning of your vehicle.

  3. Saves Your Money

    If you take care of your bike and car at a regular interval, you will prevent bigger, more costly issues from arising. Would you rather pay a little now to keep your vehicle healthy, or a lot more down the road because you decided to skip a major thing which is a bike or car service? The smartest way to save money is to book an appointment with OneDios as soon as possible.

Tips to maintain your car and bike.

1.Regular bike and car service.

Going for regular bike and car service is important. Skipping it may let minor issues develop into major, expensive problems.

If you’re looking for a platform where you can easily book your bike and car service you can download OneDios App and raise a request in few seconds.

2.Change oil regularly.

A car or bike has thousands of moving parts that need to be lubricated to work in proper condition. The engine is the major component that needs proper lubrication to work. Over time, the engine oil gets dirty, and wear and tear begin to happen faster. Oil changes at recommended time will keep the car running for years without any issue.

3. Check tyre.

Tyres are the most neglected part of a car or bike, despite being the most important. They are your vehicle’s only point of contact to the road, and hence, are subject to maximum problems. It is recommended to check tyre pressure every week and do the ‘tyre rotation’ process every six months to improve their longevity.

4.Fill up the tank.

 In case you are not using your car or bike for more than a month, it’s best to brim the tank and use a fuel additive to prevent any moisture build-up in an empty tank. 

In case you are looking forward to raising a service request for your bike or car service, the OneDios app is here to provide you a platform where you can get your bike and car service done easily.

When the going gets tough, the tough get going

Covid-19 has put all of us in a state of flux. From an economic perspective, the world has never been more unsure as to how would it turn out today or tomorrow or after a week after or even a year from today. We are now not sure how many interruptions will Covid -19 or similar pandemics bring in the future. Every analysis is reduced to just a speculation.

Large corporations are finding it tough…they are huge ships who have weathered many storms in the past and are using the best resources available in house and outside to gauge what is in store for them.

Medium size businesses are like cruiser ships… Some even more profitable than large ships and they can possibly wear out even better.

The small businesses are where it hurts the most…just like the lower strata of society which has got most exposed during these times.

Just like any other adversity, the best we can do at such time is to learn how to deal with it and adapt to the new normal (if there is one). When the goal post is moving, the adjustment becomes that much more difficult… Just like the increase in level of difficulty for a sniper with a moving target.

Startups have been caught unaware. This is baptism by fire. Some of the survival techniques are

Look Inward & do long pending housekeeping

Now is the time to do all that you could not devote time and energy to when you were going full steam ahead. Establish the processes. Take your time to revisit your business strategy and the impact the current pandemic has on it. Look at releasing that ever delayed travel policy you could not find time to release. Maybe you want your employee hire to retire handbook out now. The time to build a view to look at your business health n a single sheet is now.

Build personal and organization eminence

Now is the time to use social media to your advantage. All work from home professionals now have more time in their hands and you can catch their eyeballs – whether it is prospects or industry influencers or investors or any other community. Showcase your subject matter expertise by creating articles that display your grip on the depth of a topic in your professional pursuits. Build your professional network.

Hunker down on Cash

Cash is the single biggest asset that any organization can preserve right now. Have a deep hard look at your financial commitments and cut down whatever is not mandatory right now. Renegotiate the office lease, scale down the cloud usage if you can, examine un-utilized retainerships, purchase reorders for consumables..everything.

How OneDios successfully hacked virtual working

Like businesses all around, we entered March with a “plan”. And it was working perfectly! We’d just moved into our amazing new office, Our application had gone live and we’d signed on our first investors. We looked forward to ending our first year on a high. But there were clouds on the horizon. As the Covid 19 pandemic gripped the world we had to adapt and adapt fast. Unlike the big multinationals with there detailed disaster management policies and abundance of resources at their disposal, we had to think fast and put a plan in place. Constantly hustling and adapting to change is something is a skill set you develop as a startup and so we played to our strengths i.e. Our people, our passion and pure grit to keep things running. We are proud to be sharing what has worked for us.

Tightening up those wallet strings

This was top priority, putting in place a financial plan to see us through the crisis. However unlike businesses who reacted to the situation by defaulting to cost cuts, we used it as an opportunity to challenge our cost base and redefine what would be essential expenditure. We had to get our cost base leaner but smarter. This plan was put in place not simply for the lockdown, but our broader cost strategy as well. Eg. IT infrastructure needed more investment which we met through renegotiating lease expenses.

Staying connected

We ensured our teams were set up to work remotely well before the lockdown was put in place. This meant providing IT infrastructure, setting up support systems and helping them get into a routine for virtual working. Through the use of Hangouts meet, Zoom and other collaboration we ensured we were always connected and able to solve problems faster and more efficiently. Our daily virtual huddles have helped us take stock, set goals and track progress seamlessly.

Empathy

We knew the lockdown would impact different people differently. The challenges our people faced ranged from lack of getting essential supplies to what we’ve termed as WFH fatigue. So empathy has been at the centre of all our interactions with the team. We understand our teams aren’t simply working from home, but are trying to work through a global crisis. By promoting a culture of honesty and openness we’ve been able to help our people navigate the long road to getting used to the “new normal”.

Passionate leadership

The best of plans can fail under poor leadership. Seeing our founders live and breathe their passion and vision for OneDios has been nothing but intoxicating for our teams. In a world flooded with news of loss, our founders have helped paint their vision of the bright future that OneDios is heading for perfectly. From our daily huddles, to client meetings, having strong focused leadership can make all the difference when it comes to raising morale. They celebrate our successes and guide us through our failures.
