What is PM and why should I care?
- PM stands for Preventive Maintenance. You should practice
PM on a regular scheduled basis. Including things like; defragmenting
your hard drive monthly, backing up your data regularly etc. You can
find more PM topics in the "How To..." section of the manual.

Will your manual tell me how to change a failed motherboard?
- Yes, in the Upgrade Chapter the manual gives you step by step
instructions for removing the old/dead motherboard, then installing and
checking out the new motherboard.

Does your manual help me troubleshoot my computer when it doesn't
start?

steps you need to find out why the computer will not start.

When I need to repair a part that has failed do you recommend low
level component repair and how do I go about fixing my part?

My hard drive failed and I lost all of my email, video's, and MP3's.
How do I keep this from happening again?
- You need a separate device to backup your data and do
the backup on a scheduled basis, you can find more information on this
in the "How To..." Chapter.

Last night my computer went to a blue screen with writing on it,
what does this mean and how would I fix it?
- This is called a Stop Error or BSOD (Blue Screen
Of Death), and how you fix the problem will
depend on the code that is given in the Stop error. The
Troubleshooting Chapter gives instructions on decoding and fixing BSOD
problems.

|
If I buy your manual and don't like it, will you give me my money
back?
- Yes, absolutely. I have a 100% no questions asked money back guarantee.
No hoops to jump through to get your money back, it is usually returned
on the same day as the request is submitted.
|
|
|
Ok, you have a money back guarantee, so obviously you don't have any
confidence in your book, this is just a scam.
- Not so, I have the utmost confidence in my product.
How many other authors and book sellers will refund your purchase price
if you are not satisfied?

I took my computer to a shop and when I picked it up not only did it
cost more than I expected. BUT IT ALSO HAD MORE PROBLEMS THAN WHEN I
TOOK IT IN. So how can your e-book help me?
- I am sorry to hear the shop that worked on your computer was
dishonest in their service. I strive to give you steps to accomplish your repair,
along with the free checklists I provide with
the e-book.
|
|
|
What if I don't understand what your manual is saying, would you
help me?
- Yes, I offer free support with the manual, just use
the
support page to contact me.
|
|
|
You said it is it is easy to repair a computer, is it really?
- Yes, if a thirteen year old (boy or girl) with little life experience and less education than you can do it,
then so can you!
|
|
|
This question comes to mind after reading your page: At what point
do I stop trying to fix my operating system and reload it?
- It is hard to say when to reload an operating system with these
facts but what I suggest is that you make an image of the OS partition
and when you start having problems instead of reloading the OS and all
your programs just put the image on the partition, see Chapter Six for
"How to make and restore an image"
|
|
|
You say you are giving away some free checklists, what is a
checklist?
- A checklist is a synopsis of the steps needed to do a task or
job, such as what the Astronauts use when they fly the Space Shuttle.

I have seen other "Do It Yourself" computer repair books and they cost a
lot less than yours, why is that?
- This Self Computer Repair Unleashed! Manual has four or more
times the information than a e-book that costs as much or more. From
Troubleshooting to the actual Repair, to optimization of your computer
for the fastest possible speed, to how to back up your data, to how to
fix a Blue Screen Of Death. It would take you years to find all the
information in this e-book by searching the internet.
|
|
|
I have a Kindle, can I put your e-book on it to carry with me?
- Yes! Also compatible with iPad, Nook and other text readers.
|
|
|
My computer was hacked! How did this happen? Can your book help me
keep it from happening again?
- In the "How To..." section there are charts and instructions on
locking down your computer by setting the GPO's (Group Policy Option)
and turning off the services that thieves use to steal your data by
infecting your computer with a virus. It also gives you instructions on
setting up a firewall system to keep them out forever.

You have a PPS on your page that says "This e-book does not contain
schematics and diagrams" if that is so then this book is worthless for
anyone doing repairs.
- Not So, anyone doing low level repair would not
need a schematic,
computers are modular in design, a failed part does not need a schematic
to change it for a new one! A schematic is the layout of an electrical circuit. If I included
schematics of every computer made, the book would be over a million
pages long. The same goes for diagrams.
|
|
|
You want too much for your e-book, I can get the same one from
Amazon printed for $55!
- I don't think you will, my printed version costs $57 and I will
not sell it on
Amazon, see the section under the Add to Cart button for more
information on the hard copy or CD version of this fine e-book.

|
Is there any money to be made in computer repair?
- Depends on if you are the tech, the owner of a repair shop, or
a customer. A repair tech would be paid by the hour, the rate will
depend on the location. A repair shop owner can make good money if the
business is run right. As a customer the only way you will make or
save any money is to do it yourself!
