Flee Power or Power Drain

Flea Power is the technical term to be used. It is also called as "Power Drain". Now it should be easy to understand, isn't it??

So, what is it? Is it important? What it is needed for? How does it help and etc... Many questions like these you might have in your mind. Thinking????

 Lets find about "FLEA POWER or POWER DRAIN".

Sometimes, we notice that suddenly our computer stops working. It does not powers on or it gets stuck on a screen while powering on or even any of the peripheral such as touchpad or keyboard or something else stops responding. Why does it happens? Have we ever try to think about it? Do we really want to know why does it happens? Lets check this out.

This is a mother board of a computer. Shape, size and looks differs from system to system.
While working on a desktop system, if the system shuts down due to any reason, either power failure or system hardware issue, and when we try to power on the system again, we find that either does not power on or it will show some black and white screen with something written on it such as "WINDOWS ERROR RECOVERY". If after powering on we don't see anything on the screen then we might notice that the power light might have either flashing amber light or solid amber or flashing green light. Why does it happens




The only reason for this is while powering off automatically the remaining electricity on the mother board does not get released. So, the mother board accumulates the remaining electricity, which we also call as "Static Electricity".
                                                   "YES, IT IS DANGEROUS"

 So, How to get rid of this Static Electricity so that the system starts working fine???

 SO THE ANSWER IS............................  


If it is a desktop computer then unplug the power cable from the system tower. For your help it the BIG BOX on which you find the power button to press. So, after unplugging the power cable, unplug all the peripherals such as keyboard, mouse, (any external device, flash drive, printer, scanner, fax machine if they are connected). Be careful the ports and sockets. Don't break them or else you have to get in touch with the manufacturer and you gotta pay them for the repair. Also remember the places from where you are pulling out the ports. It will be easier for you to plug them back again. Now, after unplugging all the external peripherals, press and hold the power button in the front of the chassis for  20 secs. Its will release the "Static Electricity". Now we can plug in the external peripherals first for safety and at last the power cable. Be very careful with the power cable. We want your safety first...... At last you can try powering on the computer and check whether it works or not. Even after this it does not then lets got in touch with the manufacturer.

Good Luck and Take Care....
