Synopsis
A guide to diagnosing, fixing and understanding the personal computer. It contains information on all models from the Pentium Pro to an old 286 machine, covering how to make upgrade and repair decisions about memory, sound cards, data protection and peripherals. There are drawings and photographs of the inside of a computer, and the lay-flat binding means that the reference will stay open whilst the reader carries out repairs.
