This review is from: Worlds First Complete Guide To Laptop & Notebook Repair (Paperback)
This is a book that goes deeper into the Motherboard End of Laptop Repairing, Just what I was looking to learn! I already knew the generalized "easy" repairs such as screen replacement, Upgrading RAM, Hard Drives and such, But Motherboard repair is what I really needed to learn. After reading the book in it's entirety, then rereading it a second time, I was able to repair a bunch of laptop motherboards that I otherwise would have tossed out!! Great Book, would highly recommend this to any computer technician.

Introduction
This book was written to allow a better understanding as to how exactly a Laptop can fail and how an individual such as yourself, can troubleshoot, diagnose and properly repair the faulty issue(s) that may arise while saving a ton of money rather than sending it to a repair facility or buying new replacement parts.
Great for current Students enrolled in Technology related courses, as this information is not taught in classes. DIY (Do It Yourself) Laptop Repair Guide
Please take the time to read this book in its entirety, then re-read it again to ensure you get a clear understanding of all its content. I also recommend that you purchase my First book release entitled: Worlds First Complete Guide to Laptop & Notebook Repair.
Suitable for all age groups and learning levels this book will teach you without all the technical terms used, and will explain, step by step, in great detail. I will not include all the arithmetic equations used, or the specific detailed component schematics, rather, I will replace those confusing terms with easily understandable replacement terms for your convenience and to allow a better understanding for the Beginner or inexperienced technician.

Chapter 1
Basic tools used by a Laptop Technician
discussion of both hand and power tools used
Here I will list the tools common name, then, I will give a brief description of that tools usages relating to Laptop repairing. Please note: Being that this is a DIY book, I will omit the tools that the
average person can not obtain or tools that would be out of price range for most individuals. Phillips Head Screwdriver
This is not the
average sized screwdriver, as that would be too large for the tiny screws used on laptops today. This is the micro-sized screwdriver, which can be bought at your local Home Improvement store. I myself use an all-in-one screwdriver that houses the extra tips inside the screwdriver itself. Then, I also use the screwdriver set from an Eyeglass Repair Kit, or better yet, go on Ebay.com and search out: IPod Repair tool kit this will include 3 or so screwdrivers and a couple plastic pictures for prying parts apart.
Star Tipped Screwdriver
This is also a commonly
used tool, mainly used on the Macintosh brand, though also common on Dell, Alienware, and Sony Vaio. If you do not have access to one of these, you can purchase one from your local Auto Parts Store (ask the clerk for assistance in locating one) and you will definitely need the multiple tip pack to allow different sizes for different laptop models.
