Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Troubleshooting and Repairing PCs (Paperback)
a no-nonsense book replete with technical diagrams, this book answers most questions a person making hardware repairs would ever ask. i've loaned my copy out several times; each time, the borrower has asked where he could get a copy. amazon.com, of course!
