Website design questions to remember when going to get a website developed.

website

I have been doing my own website for some time now, actually for about three years, and have had a number of websites before the one I have at this time. A week ago a client of mine was at a conference and text me saying The session I am in is called What questions to ask when hiring a web developer. I was kind of excited to see such a simple question might expound into important headway for the naive. After I started seeing the text of key points I was sadly unimpressed, What is your rate?, What is your typical project cost?, What is the turnaround time?, and so on. The questions here are typical questions to ask anyone asking for money from you for a service. I have a business that is based almost 100 percent on the internet and I hear these questions from the calls I field, but they do not ask the afterthought, small print, paper hanger questions. Those questions floating out in the world being ready to be grabbed down are the important questions to me and I feel should be to you. If you are paying for a session at a conference based on technology advancements I feel more in depth questions should be posed.

Website design simple point number one is, What is your website?

Trust me if their website looks unimpressive then no doubt your website will be the same caliber. Remember, first impressions are the key to making informed decisions. If a website developer has a website that looks as good if not better than a high school term paper then the hunt should go on.

Which leads us to another point, Do I own my own website?

I do remember this question being mention in the text from the conference, but the question is incorrect. Personally I feel the question needs to be phrased as, Do I own my domain name? This point is so important it can make or break you as a website owner in a matter of thirty seconds. Owning your own domain name means you own your brand, identity, and intellectual property, which we will get back to later. Too many website developers give you great deals saying they will do an all-inclusive package, but register the domain in their name tying you to them forever. I experienced an example of this recently when contacting a website owner in regards to buying a domain name one of my clients was interested in. To the point, they never owned it and the website company locally which did own it wanted to sell it for 50 times the registration cost. They never saw the value in this question until say two weeks ago when they found out they did not own their domain name.

Intellectual property, which I mentioned earlier, is another point to question. We can separate this into two key questions, Do I own my text and content? and Is my content unique to only my website? I will take the first question head on. All websites and their content are inherently copyrighted, provided they are original works. Remember if you do not own your website, you do not own your content under United States Copyright and Trademarking laws and DCMA. With a simple copyright sign the content becomes the website owners stripping you of your ownership rights. Also, if you have a website developer who places a website up with generic text for you with a copyright then the website, text, design, pictures, and layout are all copyrighted to them allowing them to take it with them if you choose another firm to design your website. This tactic is very common and may be misconstrued as unethical, but is also legal. Now to the second question, Is my content unique to only my website? Producing a website that is great in layout and design making it an eye pleasing website does not mean that 50 plus websites do not use the same design. Branding your website as your own is the key, but when your keywords and content are duplicated across say 20 different websites you have another problem. Google new search engine, Panda, will exclude your website, pages, and posts based on the algorithm that matches your content to other websites. Duplicate content will do more to damage your website in the short term and long run. I had a client I was courting for developing a website who choose another web developer who does local work, but all of his pages are syndicated, or developed in the same manner with the same keywords and tags, which gets them flagged by Google as duplicate content. When doing a simple Google search their website was located on the 23rd page of Google which means that the only activity they will be getting on that page will be through print and radio. Now I have a local client myself whom has individualized content, specialized tags, and a unique website that with a few changes after my development when from the 16th page of Google to the 2nd page of Google for their ultra-competitive keyword in 5 hours.

This point above brings us to another question, Do you place a tag at the bottom of my website as a hyperlink, and if you do, do you use no-follow rules?

Little does anyone ever notice, but those hyperlinks advertise your developer for free while hindering your website. As the bots and spiders from Bing, Google, and Yahoo search your webpage they follow the last link on the page which leads them out of your page to the developers page giving them domain authority, page rank, and advertising. All the advertising you do for your website can be lost to one simple link to your developer unless no-follow rules are enforced. I see too often web developers use this to boost their standing in Google without paying, but it is also done without permission from you. The difference between a PR3 page and PR4 can be 5 pages in a Google search depending on the keyword so one do-follow link can and will take 1 PR from your page to give to their website. If the link is in the footer, then you have it syndicated across all of your webpages in your entire website.

Finally, the last statement involves math and patience, What is the cost? Now above the conference asked this question in a number of forms, but mainly you need a complete cost. Too often clients skim over the hidden cost and additional fees and sign on, then get a website that is later held hostage like one of the people in Die Hard until someone has to come in like Bruce Willis to save them all from the end. I had a client I was negotiating a contract with that chooses another firm over price; the price I quoted was $500 for design work. The client based their decision on price which I ask, How much does your other firm charge? I was astonished to find that the developer, who is local, charged $250 to setup the website which seems like a great price, but then $45.00 for hosting per month along with $25.00 for a monthly maintenance fee. The client stated that the $250 versus $500 was the key, but when pointing out that their $250 fee really cost $1,090 a year versus the $500 plus $10.00 for a domain and $68.00 for web hosting the point was made. If price is the key then a few moments talking can get the bottom dollar amount. You cannot walk in to buy a car not knowing all the fees and cost explained so getting a website should be the same.

Now the list goes on and on for questions on getting a website, but remember no question is a bad question, and if you have a question feel free to use the form below to contact me.

Doubleclickittofixit makes new company milestone with website redesign

Google Analytics screenshot of visitors

Up 120+ percent in 30 days, Doubleclickittofixit has increased its numbers greatly...

Today I decided to check my Google Analytics for the website thirty days after our redesign. I was surprised at what I found. Not only had the website improved, but it had more than doubled in traffic from just under or around 10,000 unique visitors to well over 21,000 unique visitors in just thirty days.

Now, with Google Analytics you have to keep in mind direct content links to PDF, JPG, TIFF, PNG, DOC, and other forms and files are not logged so I feel the number may be even greater than 21,000 unique visitors for the thirty day period.

Please keep sharing, commenting, and writing and we can make this website grow.

GPU cooling? What do you do to keep the GPU cool?

This section will try to answer the most often asked questions I get.

GPU cooling? What do you do to keep the GPU cool?

I have been asked this question in the past few days quite a few times. I read what was posted by Precision Division on their eBay ads stating the BIOS files do not fix the issue, and how they modify the fan.

You have to be aware of what causes your system to fail, and what needs to be done to fix it. You have to do four main things such as update the BIOS and video drivers, exit the heat, reapply thermal paste, and change the handling.

As a repair outlet I can only do so much during the repair. Thermal compound helps greatly. Updating the BIOS and video drivers do much more for a system than hardware mods can alone. Handling has to be changed though.

I can modify the fan easily enough by clipping one wire. I suggest purchasing a laptop cooler because when it breaks and the fans die on that system it is easier to change than the weaker CPU fan that is internally in the system. As many already know, the heatsink on a DV6000, DV9000, F500, and F700 are L-shaped. Heat travels through the L-shaped heatsink to exit the system. With a weak fan exiting heat, the heat spreads through the system making the fan work harder to exit the heat. This heat remelts solder, heats your components, wears the bearings in your fan, and weakens your battery cells. Laptop cooling mats do more to move heat than the CPU fan can do on its own.

Thermal compound is key to thermal recovery. The compound absorbs the heat and causes the transfer to happen quicker. In conjunction with a chill mat, this is key to moving heat so it does not spread through the system.

BIOS and video drivers are important because they both handle how the video and system work to displace heat. The Nvidia drivers add support for games and DirectX applications, but also do more important things like bug fixes. Bug fixes can be simple problems as what the new drivers do as of 2009 which is cause the GPU to run at 10 to 20 percent power when idle. I cannot do that to as system, and neither can any other repair outlet unless they install the drivers. The BIOS update runs the fan at 5v for the complete time the system is on, but it also does another important duty: It runs the CPU at a lower GHz when it is idle the same as the video driver. This cannot be changed in the BIOS without a BIOS update.

Finally, handling is probably the single most important task. As a user you have to know your system, know the reason for the failure, and change your handling. I get calls to ask about reballing and re-stenciling with leaded solder. That will not help with anything. Heat causes solder to weaken and crack so you have to handle that issue. So handling as a user is key to continued working of a new or repaired system. As a user you have to take simple no nonsense precautions to extend the life.

Here are just a few:

Do not let your system sit on a cloth surface.

Do not block the vents.

Do not hibernate or Stand-By your system.

Turn your system off when you are not using it.

My laptop turns on, but I see no video?

My laptop turns on, but I see no video?

This issue can be pinpointed to two separate items very quickly.

If your laptop will display a video on an external monitor, then you have a hardware issue with either your inverter or your backlight.

You can change the CCFL, which is referred to as the backlight, by disassembling your LCD screen and clipping the AC contact wires that are white and pink. New CCFL bulbs have to be soldered in after clipping. I get asked if inline butt splices will be crimped in and applied instead of soldering. With each system having different clearances, I see that as highly unlikely.

To change an inverter bar, you simply match model numbers and unplug a molex connector.

If it will not display externally, then your issue is geared more towards a BGA onboard issue. HP DV2000, DV6000, DV9000, TX1000, Dell D620, D630, D630, D820, D830 systems with Nvidia chipsets have the known BGA issues that I can fix.

Most systems need a double or triple chipset reflow.

If you are experiencing this issue and need an answer to why it happens or more detailed information on the issue:

Do you add copper shims or pennies?

What if my need is not listed?

As an electronics technician, laptops and desktops are not the only items I work on. If you have a specific need that is not listed above, please feel free to email me at

My desktop turns on, and I see no video?

This section will try to answer the most often asked questions I get.

Follow the links below for an indepth answer to each question.

My desktop turns on. I see no video?

I run into this more and more these days. Generally, you have two issues. First being your video cable. You can check that simply by seeing if it is connected, and if so connecting it to another system.

If your monitor works fine, then your next issue is the video chipset. More and more I find the newer HP, Dell, and Acer desktop systems use the same Nvidia chipsets as the laptop systems for the HP DV and TX series.

I also find that the add-on video cards, both ATI and Nvidia, have poor circulation fans if any at all, and the chipsets on those need to be reflowed also.

I also find the system may have a capacitor issue. It would display the same signs as a reflow.

To check, just take your cover off, and look at the capacitors. If they are bulging, leaking, or domed, you have a capacitor issue.

Systems that have this issue on a regular basis are Dell SX, GX, OptiPlex, and Dimension systems. I am seeing newer OptiPlex 740, which are AMD based systems, and OptiPlex 745, which are Intel based systems, with capacitor issues.

What if my need is not listed?

Copper shim question – Do you add copper shims or pennies?

This section will try to answer the most often asked questions I get.

Copper shim question – Do you add copper shims or pennies?

Your issue with the onboard BGA chipset is heat related. HP DV2000, DV6000, DV9000, TX1000, Dell D620, D630, D630, D820, D830 systems with Nvidia chipsets have the known BGA issues that I can fix by reflowing them.

Now, the question above is asked to me constantly. I personally do not use copper shims.

Copper shims and pennies before 1981 do not fix your issue, but do more to hamper it.

You will have three things that can happen. These are an electrical arc, an overload, or a soldering issue.

Your chipsets on your laptop 9 out of 10 times are fine if that have not been worked with in anyway and can be reflowed properly. The chipsets have capacitors located on the top and these capacitors are actually made of ferrite. When you apply Artic Silver and the copper shim in direct contact with your chipset you have stress fractures or arcing. Heat will cause the chipset to move up and down, by design, and will cause the copper to flex causing the capacitor to complete a circuit arcing between the chipset, the shim, and the heatsink which has copper in it. Placing a plastic spacer does not help any since the heat will melt, deform, or damage the chipset in its own right.

Now your chipset may get an overload and burn it out internally with no outer signs. Usually on a DV6000 system you will see a three capacitor cluster on the motherboard overload, and burn the planing of the motherboard. Overloading will cause the chipset to pull more power in the board causing stress on other chipsets such as the MAX8774, Max8724E, and MAX8734A.

The simplest issue is that your chipset will heat and the shim causes the solder to glob or puddle on the underside of the chipset. There is a reason the CPU is 5mm and the GPU is 3mm with no need to place a copper shim in to damage that design no matter how poor it may be now or before.

My laptop will not charge my battery?

This section will try to answer the most often asked questions I get.

My laptop will not charge my battery?

This question gets asked quite often. In an older system the battery may be weak, and the cells have died which would require a new battery.

If your system has a loose jack, this would also cause your battery to power poorly. Simply unplug your battery, and try powering it on on straight DC power. If your power cable does not require handling to power on, your battery is bad or an internal fuse.

If you have a bad 2.5mm jack, I sell wiring harnesses to convert your 2.5mm or 1.65mm jack to a wired 2.5mm that mounts to the case lowering the risk of any future DC jack breaks.

Some systems also have internal ceramic fuses that are 10A, 12A, and 15A that may blow. These fuses are soldered directly to the motherboard.

Robert Mannarino of Precision Division – Advanced Computer Repair in Clearwater, Florida

Robert Mannarino of Precision Division - Advanced Computer Repair in Clearwater, Florida

Robert Mannarino of Precision Division – Advanced Computer Repair in Clearwater, Florida

For anyone following the articles I have written concerning my Robert Mannarino, I use that term very loosely – competitor, one might see a pattern emerging concerning how he critiques a situation.

So today I received an email from a client of mine detailing how they received a link to an article about me posted by an anonymous user, I think in my mind the public can see a pattern here, speaking and critiquing my business and me personally. In all fairness because I am a straightforward and fair guy I will post the article for everyone to see since he wants to get his word out.

Now I started reading this article and my mouth started to water with sheer excitement. Ah, the words I read danced in my eyes like spinning ballerinas.

James Howell of Doubleclickittofixit is a criminal, a thief and a genuine piece of garbage, and I am going to tell you why.

Then my mind shifted gears because I receive a lot of emails from people about Precision Division, Robert Mannarino, ibuiltonline, precisiondivisionfla, geeksarenotcool, and other usernames used by him online. So in all fairness, I want to share some of those emails here.

Two days ago, I received an email from a person asking me this:

Comments
Do you know the name of the idiot tht runs Precision Division out of Mount Carmel, PA? Here’s my complaint:I sent this guy 5 laptops to be fixed. He sent back 4 which took almost 2 months to get back. The 4th (an HP dv6) has been “misplaced”. The one HP dv9720us works fine, the HP dv7 which he claims to have fixed had missing pieces that make it unable to work at all. The other 3 three he did not charge for so I’m not too worried about them. The 9720us also had to be reworked by me because the problem with his aluminum and electrical tape fix didn’t seem to held up too well. It’s much better now that I’ve redone it in a more professional style. Plus he does not answer email or phone if he thinks you have a problem with this services. Completely amateur and a waste of time and money.

Just as few moments after posting this article the client then writes me to say that Robert Mannarino reviewed him on Ripoffreports.com posting this:

I read this email before the post then I remembered back to Robert Mannarino post concerning me.

James used inferior equipment. He is unskilled. He is unintelligent. He can’t actually fix anything. He just heats motherboards and crosses his fingers. He has no working knowledge of digital electronics. He has had no formal training in motherboard repair. Do yourself a favor – steer clear of Doubleclickittofixit.com

Well, let us say here for the record. I use what I can to get the job complete. If that happens to be a Dremel running at 35,000 RPMs to separate a wireless card from the DV9000 previously serviced by Precision Division and Robert Mannarino then my inferior equipment did just that, separated it, replaced it, and fixed it.

Then I think in this whole time of tolerating Robert Mannarino and his Precision Division Advanced Computer Repair this email I received yesterday has to be tantamount to an early Christmas present that was about Robert Mannarino.

Comments
Robert Mannarino is a homophobic crook! He did a very dishonest repair, telling us he replaced a cap-only to find out after the computer returned to us with the same problem less than a week later, we took it apart ourselves, to find the “new cap” was a penny and tin foil!!! In the mean time, we had already given him a second computer to repair and $100. This has now been 10 months ago!! At first he was responding to emails by saying he was very busy and to keep contacting him, but now, nothing. After further review online, I see his true character shows on his public Facebook wall comments. I’ll let you read for yourself, but he is not accepting of the Gay and lesbian community…….. furthermore I see in public circuit court records he’s been evicted out of his most recent Business address at Hastings Court in Palm Harbor, FL. And come to think of it, since we gave him the first laptop for repair, he had moved a to 3 different locations. The guy is a scam artist, no questions asked! SCUM BAG!!!! Don’t listen to ANY positive reviews on him, they’re inaccurate!

All jokes aside I felt a flutter in my chest when I read this. Not the flutter when you feel like you may fall on your face, but more the flutter when you find your true love and go in for a kiss. I started to get the sweats and was excited and genuinely wanted to know more. I mean do we not all want to know more? Someone can just post anything, but that does not make it true, even if it is about Robert Mannarino. Truth comes through evidence and discernment correct? Well, just so I do not suspense you to death, the email is correct. Everything is true in it. Actually, not only has Robert Mannarino been evicted for not paying his bills and lost everything in his shop which includes, for the readers, his stuff and your laptops, TVs, and game systems, Robert Mannarino also filed bankruptcy while trying to use a federal law to save all of himself. Then I remembered something very telling about Robert Mannarino article concerning me.

He has absolutely no ethics whatsoever, and you will see why later. Keep reading this is only the beginning.

Well, being college educated, holding a number of fairly decent jobs, and having to deal with a number of personal issues in life just like everyone else I remember my sociology professor from Dalton State College whom informed us in lecture hall one day that:

We do not see things as they are, but moreover how we are.

I have to say I think in the case of Robert Mannarino this seems, in my opinion, to be very true. So let us take a peak at what we see about Robert Mannarino.

Interesting enough, as I read this I see certain parts that interest me, but the one I see plain as day is this – He has absolutely no ethics whatsoever The last time I was evicted the eviction was processed and delivered by Mother Nature by way of a tornado unlike Robert Mannarino. Now, I know what one might say if they are Robert Mannarino

James gave him some sob story about a tornado (which is his excuse for everything)

And then yet another case from a company Robert Mannarino did not pay his bills to at all, like a year plus long when Robert Mannarino was running his online business.

But let us for one moment ponder about ethics and morality for Robert Mannarino. Ethically do we pay our bills because it is right and just, but morally how do we act to our fellow people, Robert Mannarino? Do we follow the idea that morally we should respect others as people, Robert Mannarino? Well, lets see what Robert Mannarino has to say regarding that question:

Rob Mannarino commented on FOX News & Commentary: Todd Starnes.

This is absolutely unacceptable. Homosexuals cannot continue to terrorize those who don’t approve into silence. Steven Goldstein is trying to bully her into quitting. Let me tell you something. I am not some anonymous coward. I have an opinion, and I’m entitled to it. Last I checked, in America – freedom of speech is a right, not a slogan. I oppose homosexuality. I happen to consider it to be a cult a perversion. This is just the latest in a string of nauseating articles. Two lesbians in California are now drugging their 11 year old child to delay the onset of puberty – so that he can turn into a “she” if he wants to. If that isn’t child abuse, I don’t know what is. But the police won’t arrest them, because that would be “intolerant. Are you kidding me? So homosexuals are above the law? Homosexuals are allowed to abuse children like that – and we’re not allowed to say anything? Screw them! Society has about had it with the gay agenda – and it’s starting to show. It’s not enough for them to be gay anymore. They want to silence objectors, drug children, and re-write history – all while hiding behind some, ironically – very stereotypical rhetoric. And it’s sickening how the gay community attempts to exploit the tragic phenomenon of teen suicides to pursue their agenda. Do the research – that lesbian couple who is drugging that defenseless 11 year old said that if they didn’t do it, then he might kill himself. What is wrong with society? Are you all that gullible? Children commit suicide because they weren’t taught from when they were babies how to overcome obstacles in life. So instead of overcoming their obstacles, they succumb to them – via suicide. Gays also target children going through the turmoil of puberty: “Hey kids! Going through puberty? Having trouble focusing? Don’t fit in? You may be gay”! Gays are attempting to exploit children during a fuzzy time in their lives, when hormones are pumping and their bodies are developing. No one thinks clearly during puberty! That doesn’t make it ok for homosexuals to indoctrinate children during puberty. America: Grow a pair and stand up for what’s right. Too many cowards in public office who are afraid to stand up to low lives like Steven Goldstein. Opposition is NOT synonymous with “hatred”. Of course, this well thought out and articulate statement will likely be followed by a string of ignorant, hateful comments by homosexuals and their supporters. But let me tell you – you don’t scare me. I’m entitled to my opinion, this is it, if you don’t like it, go to Hell. To the rest of you, have a nice night.

Well, short and sweet I think my responder was right about Robert Mannarino. It appears that our opinionated Mr. Robert Mannarino of Precision Division Advanced Computer Repair said all that Robert Mannarino needs to say on the subject. But Robert Mannarino and I do share one common idea, Robert Mannarino idea on opinions as a generalized statement and my opinion of Robert Mannarino as a generalized statement:

I’m entitled to my opinion, this is it, if you don’t like it, go to Hell.

Well, Mr. Robert Mannarino no one can say it better than you so I give you all the glory when I use your quote above.

Oh, and by the way, the picture up top is of him from his Facebook. Now, in my opinion, I cannot tell if that is a guy’s foot or a chicks foot, but no need to worry about that now because I have a letter I received from a client whom BCC me on an email to Robert Mannarino of Precision Division reviewing his paperwork and I feel it seriously sums the entire feelings of all the emails I receive into one concise piece of work. So this is not my own but I will share it:

Mr. Robert Mannarino,

A couple of months ago my shop received an email solicitation from your business, telling us of your ability to repair motherboards for laptops at the component level. As I am considered to be the laptop specialist in my shop, the email was forwarded to me to peruse. Due to various reasons I was delayed on checking into the email but as we have, indeed, seen quite a few laptops that have the problems mentioned on your site <such as the DV6000 and 9000 series by HP>, it was worth looking into later. With many of these laptops we have been unable to offer a better solution than to send in the machine to HP for motherboard replacement, since they will warranty the repair in many cases, and we cannot. Our has generally been to replace the motherboard and doing so has become prohibitively expensive without access to piles of spares.

Not being one to simply accept a miraculous cure, which many such solicitations promise, I resolved to look into your company and the claims made of your abilities to fix what to us heretofore had been impossible to repair <lacking the proper equipment to perform such repairs>. I was at first hopeful upon viewing your site, and the multiple things presented there. The site itself seemed fairly-well put together and informative, and indicated you knew of the specific problems that plague certain models of laptops. I then opened another portal and searched for reviews of your business and commentary on the repairs performed there. It took a bit of searching but I finally found several comments and reviews. As I went through them, I became a little wary. The reviews I did find were not good.

Having been in the computer business for 10 years, I am well aware that there are times when the business may receive criticism that is unwarranted and unfounded. Sometimes customers expect miracles to be performed, the dead raised, and Rainbow Bright Ponies for all. Sometimes even the best efforts dont fix the issue, or unexpected problems are encountered. Most of the time, however, things work out well, and if you do a good job, or screw things up but make the customer whole, everyone gets a handshake and nothing gets said. At worst, the customer tells his friends there was an issue, but it was handled. Serious complaints and bad reviews normally only make it out into the public realm when someone has Really screwed the pooch, whether it be the Business, or the Customer, who is at fault. Most complaints, however, can be racked up to misunderstandings. So I took the complaints with a grain of salt, giving your business the benefit of the doubt.

That was until I ran across a business called Doubleclickittofixit. And read through some of the information he had posted, and responses/emails from your business.

After reading what was posted there, I was a bit alarmed. I researched what had been posted on that website and found that, indeed, it appeared to be true. An incredible example was the Service Contract your customers are required to sign before you will repair anything. I could write pages of commentary on this alone, but I will confine myself to just this: I have never had the opportunity before to read any document which so thoroughly grinds the 1ST Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America into paste. Being bound and gagged would be a fair comparison.

I found myself to be thoroughly appalled by such a contract. How anyone would let themselves be stripped of all rights to say anything negative, especially if it was legitimate, with even the slightest hint of disagreement being sufficient to warrant being taken to court, is beyond me.

I continued reading about the purported documentation attributed to your company, mainly out of fascination; kind of like when you cant look away from a train wreck in progress. Three more examples of incredibly distasteful commentary leaped out at me: describing the person who owns doubleclickittofixit as looks like one of those slow kids behind the counter at McDonalds, a reply on a forum page calling him a lying lowlife, and last, but not least, the commentary posted concerning a negative review of your company by one of your customers. In that rebuttal you posted, publicly, that he had serious psychological problems and was of poor character and dishonest.

That one really did it. I had customers in my shop that we, as techs, felt could be replaced with a radish and no one would notice. But we NEVER publicly derided them. Our customers are our lifeline; without them we would not have a business. We may discuss privately the completely moronic idiocy some of our customers have presented, but NEVER has our company publicly denounced and insulted anyone that came to our shop, and most certainly we would never identify them by name. Complaints we have received were acted upon immediately and courteously; we never dug down for base insults or attempted to slander the person across the counter. That is the height of unprofessionalism.

I spent several hours looking through your website, other pages of reviews, and following links, just so I could honestly say that I gave your company a fair chance. Then I called up James. His number is clearly posted. Im sure you know who he is, as you posted a good amount of text knocking him down. After a very pleasant conversation with him, something which cannot be done with Precision Division, <as expressly stated on your own webpage, email only! Another reason to not do business with you> I hung up the phone with a good impression of him, and an even lower impression of your company. James offered to show me his abilities, and agreed to fix multiple machines in our shop that would require new motherboards to bring them back to life, at a special cost of only 60$ per repair. I am preparing 4 machines for shipping at this time, and have another 9 that may need his attention. They will be sent to Doubleclickittofixit.

The major thrust of this letter I hope you have discerned. If not, Ill give you some ideas: There is a ton of information in the public realm which indicates your company is very unprofessional; it insults its customers; attempts to squelch legitimate complaint by threat of heavy-handed legal action; is abusive and insulting towards people who disagree with it; is slanderous itself; and appears scared of its own shadow, as exemplified by its over-reliance on threats of legal action and prosecution of anyone and everyone for any reason it deems actionable..

You might want to put some effort into making your company a bit friendlier and less aggressive. My Boss took one look at a printed copy of your service contract and made a comment about YOUR mental state that I wont repeat. He then instructed me to delete whatever we got from you. *I* felt, however, that it might be worth the time to let you know how you lost a good source of business. Maybe it will change your attitude towards your potential and present customers for the better. By the way, you might want to note that Microsoft was started in Bill Gates garage in reference to the comment you made about James place of business.

Cheers, mate.

This was the email I received about Robert Mannarino.

COPPER SHIMS UPDATED: Do you add copper shims or pennies, and do they work if they are used?

Copper Shims

COPPER SHIMS UPDATED: Do you add copper shims or pennies, and do they work if they are used?

In a previous article I had written, Do you use pennies or copper shims?, I had tried to explain in a straightforward and concise manner that copper shims do not help cool your chipsets in a proper manner as to keep it from overheating.

To get to my update one day I was speaking to a computer shop owner whom had called me to express his desire to add copper shims to his laptop repairs. I tried my best to convince him that copper shims cause issues when trying to cool the system. Between the capacitors located on the top of the chipset and overloading the motherboard electrical circuits, my warnings were let go by the way side. He stated, I can just add pennies to act as copper shims and get the chipset to cool down and my customers will be happy in the end. Now, this is where I started thinking. My father is an avid coin collector and stamp collector and is electronics professional. He has done both for many years so I decided to ask him a few questions. As I was asking him questions, he decided to ask me one which was, How much copper do you think is in a penny? This got me to thinking, Yeah, your right how much copper is in a penny? Well, the chart below explains just how much is in a penny.

1982 – 2011 Zinc Lincoln Cent Value (United States)

U.S. MINT SPECIFICATIONS
Denomination: $0.01
Obverse Image: U.S. President Abraham Lincoln
Reverse Image: Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.
Metal Composition: 97.5% zinc, 2.5% copper
Total Weight: 2.5 grams
Comments: The zinc and copper versions of the cent were both produced in 1982. They can be differentiated by weight (3.11 grams for the 1909-1982 copper cent, 2.5 grams for the 1982-2011 zinc cent).

Now, I had written a few forum posts on the HP Support forums stating about the copper shim danger and what it can do to your chipsets when a guy from Ontario made the comment.

Well, I agree copper shims are bad. I used a penny in a repair and it failed, that is why now I use dimes because they are made of silver.

Well, let us put the facts straight. Dimes may appear silver, but have not been made of silver since 1964. Not one grain of silver is in what is called a clad coin, or coins produced after 1964 for general circulation unless it is a Kennedy Half Dollar or Eisenhower Silver Dollar up to 1971 which are 40% silver by volume. Below is the chart showing us what is in a dime.

1965 – 2011 Roosevelt Dime Value (United States)

U.S. MINT SPECIFICATIONS
Denomination: $0.10
Obverse Image: Franklin D. Roosevelt, 32nd President of the United States.
Reverse Image: Torch, oak branch, and olive branch.
Metal Composition: 91.67% copper, 8.33% nickel
Total Weight: 2.268 grams
Comments: The term ‘dime’ comes from the French word disme, meaning “tithe” or “tenth part.”

Now, we see that a dime is far from silver, but COPPER! Amazing, huh? ÃÆâ€ââ€Â¢ÃƒÆ’ƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ But does that make a dime a great way to be copper shims?

Both coins now have had their compositions explained so now we have to get all scientific. For developing why pennies, dimes, and copper shims do not work besides the obvious dangers, we have to refer to the basic laws of thermodynamics. You may say, The laws of thermo-what? As I explain what I mean we must reference what is called the first law of thermodynamics and it states:

The first law of thermodynamics distinguishes between two kinds of physical process, namely energy transfer as work, and energy transfer as heat. It tells how this shows the existence of a mathematical quantity called the internal energy of a system. The internal energy obeys the principle of conservation of energy but work and heat are not defined as separately conserved quantities. Equivalently, the first law of thermodynamics states that perpetual motion machines of the first kind are impossible.

In layman terms spelled out the first law states:

Matter and energy can not be created or destroyed (only converted between the two). Likewise, heat-the movement of energy from a hotter object to a cooler object-is never eliminated, but only moved elsewhere. To accomplish this, there are three primary modes of heat transfer: convection, conduction, and radiation.

By adding copper shims or pennies you have only adapted the first law of thermodynamics to amplify the mode of heat transfer by conduction since the principal is explained as:

Conduction – the transfer of heat through matter with no net displacement of the matter

Now that copper shims and pennies only operate primarily on conduction, you have to relate that certain substances and metals have a level of thermal conductivity. Thermal conductivity is explained as:

Thermal Conductivity is the amount of heat a particular substance can carry through it in a unit time. Usually expressed in W/(mK), the units represent how many Watts of heat can be conducted through a one meter thickness of said material with a one Kelvin temperature difference between the two ends.

The thermal conductivity of all substances can be rated on this scale. Human bodies, copper, water, shaving cream, a piece of bread can be weighed by this principal and scientific fact. The chart below shows how each substance conducts heat over time.

Thermodynamic Profiles in W/(mK)

Rubber 0.16
Wood 0.12 ÃÆâ€ââ€Â¢ÃƒÆ’ƒâ€šÃ‚¢ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚¬Ã¢â‚¬Å“ 0.04

Highlighted in this chart we see how copper rates on the list. As part of the principal of thermal conductivity you can see that conduction is also rated on the principal that the item must heat up aggressively. With this being said the conductor must wick heat then move it elsewhere otherwise it wicks the heat then superheats the shim then heats the chipset by way of convection causing a failure.

We also see how pennies are made of zinc, not copper, as the primary composition which rates nowhere on the chart. That can be found here:

Zinc 116

The idea of using pennies as copper shims will not work. Then using a dime will? No, the idea of running dimes as copper shims will work in theory except the principal of thermal conductivity says the dime will heat up to transfer the heat from the shim, but goes nowhere after that. Heating the motherboard in such a localized manner can cause the flexing, or distortion, of the PCB layers. With distortion, you get flexing and uneven heating causing unrepairable damage to the layers of the motherboard.

As a trend I see variations of the heater coil principal were homemade heat sinks are comprised of aluminum and copper layers. The idea is that the application of the principal in industrial applications can be scaled down to work properly in a electronic situation to help or assist the removal of heat. I give an A for effort, an A for logic, and a F for practicality. As technicians we have to reference back to the principal of thermodynamics and its first law then place logic that convection is the mode of transport for this energy that we are trying to displace. When we take all of that into account we find that the logic and effort will not move the mountain of practicality. Below is an example of an aluminum handmade heatsink placed on a laptop chipset by an eBay seller:

Between the 27 single layers of aluminum foil we see and the electrical tape we have to wonder if this was actually worth the effort. I can say if it ended in my shop, I will say no.

Copper shims are by far better than non copper shims, but copper shims in the end are a complete failure as seen in the following posts:
