Computer Repair with Diagnostic Flowcharts: Troubleshooting PC Hardware Problems from Boot Failure to Poor Performance review:
5 stars (Computer Repair with Diagnostic Flowcharts) - This book has been invaluable to my computer repair shop.

It gets all of my technician's trouble shooting using the same step by step logical method. No jumping to conclusions or assuming. A great quality control and computer repair tool.


3 stars (Not complete, but still handy) - This book is very short, and it often states the obvious. It is far from complete, but it's still a handy thing to have around and much more portable than a big O'reilly's book.



The good thing about it is that it's so damn easy to read. You can follow the flow chart to go straight to the advice you're looking for. I just wish it was longer and offered more solutions than it does.
5 stars (Great computer repair!) - Handy flowcharts with accompaning detailed descriptions. Very logically organized and layed out. It provides you with a structured process for tracking down pc problems. Highly recommended.



Having a little troubleshooting experience would be helpful, but not absolutely necessary. A fair number of pc problems have very simple solutions. The author does not overlook the obvious(is it plugged in? are all the mute buttons unchecked?) on way to making a proper diagnosis.



If you are at all serious about providing your own tech support (or support to friends and family), get this book. Money well spent.
