Several tools for observing screen pixels’ transition times

One of the main parameters in choosing a monitor is the transition times of the pixels from one color to another. The subject was and is intensively addressed, but now we have the opportunity to easily refer to a measuring tool, or more precisely to a common scenario: the tests offered by blurbusters.

Blurbusters are distinguished by the popularization of important terminologies for measuring the “clarity of the moving image”, which of course depends on the technology of the screen used. At the moment these are not of interest but only the knowledge of the tools made available by them.

An example would be the famous “testufo” test: https://www.testufo.com.

Using the power button (on/off) for the purpose of various fixes

The on-off button (switch) present on all laptops/PCs/servers can be used for purposes other than power on/power off/sleep/hibernate/closing the screen (or other options made available through the operating system or integrated firmware). In general, the applicability of the following method also extends to other devices that employ ram memory (and capacitors), such as smartphones or printers.

Situations that can be fixed include, but are not limited to the following examples:
-non-functional laptop keyboard
-laptop keyboard that responds incorrectly or clumsily to pressed keys
-occasionally helps with BSOD fixes
-allows the detection of devices/peripherals/components that would otherwise not be recognized (including certain SSDs, in which case it is recommended to save the data on them and replace them with a model that does not show this symptom).

Cateva situatii de intrerupere a conexiunii la retea (rj-45)

Un utilizator poate observa ca paginile web incarc greoi, nu raspund la comenzi sau apar “offline” – uneori chiar si incercarile de listare la imprimanta esueaza, desi sistemul de operare nu raporteaza probleme cu placa de retea ori conexiunea. Toate acestea intamplandu-se desi la o inspectie vizuala initiala “totul pare in parametri ori corespunzator” pe traseul fizic intre statie si router ori switch etc.
