General hardware components:
Cpu fan - to help with keeping the laptop cooler
heat sink/heat pipe - made for the laptop so it doesn't overheat allowing air circulation in a compressed space
CPU socket- allowing you to insert the CPU ( core processor unit) in it
CPU- core processor unit - carries out the instruction of the programs. ( the core)
hard drive- Storing data persistently
CMOS battery- battery in motherboard used for things like the bios
Wireless card- adding wireless options to a laptop
Speakers - with it's obvious purpose is to create sound and are attached to the motherboard
Ram- " computer memory that can be accessed randomly" is how you would describe it
Battery- the main power source for a laptop. ( make sure to have it in for the laptop to power up before all else)
Problem 1: Laptop Overheating Issue
Major Causes
Malfunctioning Of Fan
Directly placing laptops on rough surfaces 
Overheating is a very common problem with laptops. Laptops have a more compact air venting system. so air circulation is harder. The purpose of a heat pipe is to fix this issue of overheating. But since there is such little space more dust is able to block the air venting circulation. This can then cause the fan to overheat if clogged with a lot of dust. To remove this use a q-tip and carefully remove it from the silver area or any other parts.
Problem 2: Slow Hard Drive
Slow hard drive can be very annoying it causes lagging and your computer to process information at a slower pace. One of the solution to this Is called defragmenting it is basically a form of organization on your computer or laptop fitting the pieces together. It places all the parts of a file together on the hard drive. It does this based on information of how the user uses their computer and where they go. Its also important to make sure your hard drive is in good condition at all times and before this process. First make sure to start this process by going to the control panel and choosing system and security with the pie and shield sign. Then you should see administrative tools which is at the very bottom next to the silver gear sign. Underneath in the small blue letters make sure to click on defragment your hard drive which will then lead you to what will give you a solution to your issue. when then be able to click analyze disk when the progress is complete. Then click defragment disk this will help not only assure you of better speed and will even help you having a faster startup time when it is defragmented completely.
Step 3:  No Image Issue
Another example of an issue your laptop can have is your laptop showing no image. This is a very common problem with laptops and computers when powering it on the screen is completely black or shows no image. If this occurs always check if it is completely powered on. Meaning the fan is spinning also check the LEDS. As you can see above the LEDS are glowing and the fan is functioning so It would have to be another issue. To make sure check your other hardware. Usually if your screen has no image the reason is ram. Use your Philips screwdriver to remove the nails and take off the covering. Then you should see the ram built on the motherboard close to the wireless card. It depends on the computer you have and its specifications but usually people have two sticks of ram. To solve this issue of no image make sure to replace the ram or make sure nothing is in the way of it. Or even take it out and put it back in.

IT'S UNLIKELY Apple will have many surprises in store when it launched its 2019 iPhone lineup, comprising the iPhone 11, 11 Max and 11R, in September.

Thanks to the ever-churning online rumour mill, we already know that the iPhone trio will be the first to boast triple-camera systems, with Apple adopting a new Pixel 4-alike square-shaped array. We're also expecting new under-the-hood internals including a 7nm A13 SoC and new Taptic Engine, an upgraded Face ID system and, according to some murmurs, a USB-C port.

We've rounded up everything we know about Apple's 2019 iPhones so far below.

Release date

According to a leaked marketing calendar from US carrier Verizon, the iPhone 11 could launch later than usual this year, with a release seemingly scheduled for the third or fourth week in September.

Price

We know that Apple's next iPhones will be expensive, but we don't yet know quite how much they will fetch. If anything like 2018's iPhone lineup, pricing will likely start around £999 and £1,099 for the XS and XS Max successors, and from £799 for the lesser-specced LCD model.

Additional Features

As expected, iPhone 11 will ship with iOS 13. iOS 13 is expected to be announced at WWDC 2019. Earlier rumors suggest Apple will ship  two new iPhone models with 6.1-inch and 6.5-inch OLED displays. There are also rumors that it will ship with a triple camera system.

Rumors

The camera system is a constant source of speculation as it is one of the main selling features of having the latest phone. In a recent report from Kuo, it’s speculated that the front facing camera (selfie camera) will go form 7 to 12 megapixels.

The front-camera improvements go beyond an increase in megapixels from 7 to 12. The camera will also change from the existing 4-element lens to a 5-element lens component. The new front camera will be included on all three new 2019 iPhones, including the ‘XR 2’ or whatever that model is called.

 The iPhone 11 has suffered yet another leak, once again adding more weight to rumours that it'll sport an ugly camera bump.




The latest leak comes courtesy of Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, who showed off alleged mouldings for the iPhone 11, 11 Max and iPhone XR 2 (below). All three sport a square-shaped bulge on their rear, and confirm that the higher-end iPhones will sport three cameras while the new XR will feature a dual-lens setup.

Finally, it’s rumored that the 2019 iPhone will ship with a similar feature to Samsung’s Powershare where it can wirelessly charge an Apple Watch or AirPods.

What To Expect

Apple's 2019 iPhones could be the first to support the Apple Pencil. So says a report from Citi Research, seen by Business Insider, which includes "support for iPhone pencil/stylus" in the list of features it's expecting to see in the iPhone 11. The stylus was first introduced in 2015 alongside the first-generation iPad Pro, and support has since been extended to the iPad Air and iPad mini.

City also expects the iPhone 11 lineup to include larger batteries, a bezel-free screen similar to that seen on the current iPhone XS, a triple rear camera array and a 10MP front-facing camera. It says that pricing of the 2019 iPhones will remain the same as last year's models.
