The most simple, informative, and complete book I've ever read.
Great troubleshooting guide

This is not your only repair book or your A+ exam book. Assuming you are familiar with the insides of a computer and have basic repair skills this book guides you through the basics of diagnostics. It's not going to teach you how to install a hard drive but will bring you through the steps of testing it.

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.
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.
Tremendous Resource

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 gamut 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.
