Master the Art of Electronics RepairIn this hands-on guide, a lifelong
electronics repair guru shares his tested techniques and invaluable
insights. "How to Diagnose and Fix Everything Electronic" shows you how
to repair and extend the life of all kinds of solid-state devices, from
modern digital gadgetry to cherished analog products of
yesteryear.You'll start by selecting the tools and test equipment you'll
need and setting up your workbench. Then, you'll get familiar with
components and how they form circuits, stages, and sections of a device.
Next, you'll learn how to take a product apart, figure out what's wrong
with it, replace components, and reassemble it. Real-world case studies
help clarify the topics covered. Tips and tricks for specific devices,
such as optical disc players, computers, and video recorders, are also
included in this practical resource.Set up a workbench and equip it with
tools and test instrumentsEnsure personal safety and avoid electrical
