Laptops - Care and Repair

DIY-Computer-Repair can help!

For some friends until I get my laptop web site setup, a little of what I know about laptops or notebooks.

Now this is going to make some people mad, I only have owned two brands of laptops. IBM and Compaq. So most of my information and experience will be from the IBM. Each page will give some instructions on how to do the task, or information on the subject of the page. Most of the information will apply to all laptops but in some cases it may be product specific, as a technician you do not always get to work on all makes and models. The company I worked for over the last ten years was an IBM and Dell shop as far as laptops were concerned and the IBM ThinkPad was the computer of choice due to the warranty that IBM has for larger business.
