UPGRADING REPAIRING PCs

Introduction
If you’re a computer repair technician or student, you know
just how crucial it is to have concise, yet detailed, technical specifications
at your fingertips. It can mean the success or failure of
your job.
Unfortunately, most detailed hardware books are far too large to
tote around in a briefcase, book bag, or in your back pocket—where
you need them.
Upgrading and Repairing PCs: Technician’s Portable Reference is the
exception. This concise book provides just the information you
need to upgrade or repair your PC, without weighing you down.
Although you should consider this book to be a companion to
Scott Mueller’s best-selling opus, Upgrading and Repairing PCs, you’ll
also find that it stands quite well on its own. While much of the
information is in the mother book, much of what is found here is
presented in a boiled-down, easy-to-digest reference that will help
you get the job done quickly and efficiently. You’ll also find that
this portable reference contains some information not found in the
main book—information that is specially geared to help the technician
in the field.
I recommend that you keep Upgrading and Repairing PCs, 12th
Edition (ISBN 0-7897-2303-4) on your desk or workbench and
Upgrading and Repairing PCs: Technician’s Portable Reference with your
toolkit, so it’s ready to go with you anytime—whether it’s to a customer
job site or a class.
