Bigelow's Troubleshooting, Maintaining & Repairing PCs

It is a quite outdated book because this book contain all about upto windows 98, NT . RAM updation upto SDRAM and not more.. This book is only for newer of PC'sMy suggestion is not buy if you want latest updation

Nice book. Easy to learn because explaination is in simple language.

Wonderful product.

Terrific Book. The ultimate PC Hardware Reference.

I bought a HP Pavillion 8785C and within the year had so many problems that the PC was racking up more mileage than me!It was 'fixed??' twice by HP. Motherboard changed, Modem changed, RAM changed.. You name it, they changed it and still couldn't solve the problem!I was ready to dump the PC after spending [money] in phone calls to HP Help! They even re-routed my call to India! And kept advising me to re-format my hard drive.Then I bought this book and the solution was on page 698! Symptom 19-3.Within an hour after checking the heat sink and changing the fan, I was back in business.I could have saved so much money if I had bought this book earlier. Fedup with Tech Support? Get this book!Maybe HP should invest in a couple of hundred copies for their staff.

This book is a little out-dated and would probably be more beneficial to an IT person than a regular John or Jane Doe. I'm sure some of the techniques and problem solving tips can be found on-line. I'm not sorry for the purchase, but I found some of the information to be overwhelming for what I needed it for.

Thank you very much.william

This book, is very well detailed and has a lot of information. The vendor did not include the CD-ROM. I had the edition 4 which is very similar to this book. Please make sure you ship with all the product shown to the customer.

This has been a very good book in its day but unfortunately it deals mainly with Windows 95 and 98 and a bit of Vista. I did not find it at all useful for working with Windows XP or later. It would still be a very good book for anyone working with vintage PCs.
