How to Fix Most Power Interruptions in a Computer


This article tells you how to tighten and increase connectivity of power cables in a computer. That would cause power interruptions resulting in hard drives or CD-Roms turning off while they are in use.
Steps:
0.turn off your computer
1. Open your computer case.
2. Unplug the power cables you want to tighten.
3. Turn them facing you so you see down the barrel of each of the 4 pins.
4. Take a pen and push the circular contact down until the semicircular edges almost touch.
5. Plug in the power cables.
6. Put your case cover back on and ***** it back in.
7. Turn on your computer
Warnings:
1. Don't cause a short circuit. Don't make two contacts touch each other, meaning more than one pin.
2. Don't use a pencil! Graphite or lead chips will increase the resistance of your power cables.
