Guide to Repairing Everything Electronic

Posted by timothy on from the beats-finding-the-manual dept.

prostoalex writes "Silicon Sam's Technology Resource is a collection of detailed guides on repairing pretty much anything that has an electronic component in it: household appliances, audio equipment, AC adapters, CD players, CD-ROM drives, other optical drives, microwave ovens, PC monitors, TV sets, VCRs, remote controls, strobe lights, small engines, lawn mowers, printers and photocopiers. Each guide is not just a collection of FAQ, but a detailed document the size of your average book."

    Nowdays there are microprocessors in many places, and optimization, integration and componentsize make fixing harder, namely in household appliances, audio equipment, AC adapters, CD players, CD-ROM drives, other optical drives, microwave ovens, PC monitors, TV sets, VCRs.. etc. Of course if it's a mechanical problem, wiring problem or some analog component, then it's doable, but chances of that are getting smaller in every generation of those machines.
