Tremendous Resource,
By
This review is from: Computer Repair with Diagnostic Flowcharts: Troubleshooting PC Hardware Problems from Boot Failure to Poor Performance (Paperback)
The cover of this book asks the follow question: Do you know a CPU from a hard drive? Do you? If so, this book is fantastic. In my opinion, the key to diagnosis of any kind is a quick elimination of possible root causes. This book accomplishes that by forcing the reader into yes/no questions. Drawing on his obvious experience, the author uses flowcharts to continually narrow the tech's focus until the answer is apparent. The author takes subconcious deduction and lays it out on the page for anyone to follow. After some time it should become second nature to you as well. The book covers the gambit of hardware issues with a straightforward style. In between the various categories is text related to specific points on the flowcharts. There is some real gems in there. I have no doubt the author earns hourly income many times the cost of this book. Buy it.

Great Self-Help Guide to Repairing PC Hardware Problems,
By Stephen L Price (Long Island, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Computer Repair with Diagnostic Flowcharts: Troubleshooting PC Hardware Problems from Boot Failure to Poor Performance (Paperback)
*** DON'T PLAN ON READING THIS BOOK COVER-TO-COVER! ***BUT if you want to solve your computer hardware problems without spending alot of time and money ($$)+ aggravation, BUY THIS BOOK and keep it handy because its troubleshooting and resolution methods are applicable to any PC! Computer books are pretty boring, so why waste any more time than you have to reading one?? With Computer Repair with Diagnostic Flow Charts all you have to do is pick it up and be directed quickly by following arrows and decision points to the solution of your hardware related problem. If your problem is in the software i.e., the computer turns on but acts funny, GOOD LUCK! - fix that first and then use this book.

I found this product to be just awesome. It's already been helpful on a case. You see, I'm new in this business and I think that this book fills a gap that the lack of experience makes... I think that it's a perfect tool for anyone who starts in the business or on the contrary, that has been in the business for a long time, this book will help you open up your mind a little bit.
