This is a reader-friendly guide to repairing computers, running either Microsoft Windows 95,98, Me, 2000 and XP, through easy to understand language, detailed diagrams and video tutorials (on the CD). The book emphasizes that a deep understanding of how a computer works is not necessary to diagnose and repair computer problems, and concentrates on practical, "hands-on" solutions that can be implemented right away. Concentrating largely on installing and troubleshooting hardware, the book also provides solutions to common operating system-related problems. In addition, thorough explanations on how to select quality replacement and expansion components without paying top dollar are also provided, helping users get the most out of their newly repaired PC. Regardless of experience, this should be a useful guide for anyone who wants to repair their computer or is considering a career in the computer repair business.
