Free Computer Repair Flowcharts
Morris Rosenthal has written a book that includes 17 flowcharts to help walk you through the process of troubleshooting computer related hardware issues. He is offering eight of these flowcharts for free on the Foner Books website including a boot failure troubleshooting poster. Whether you are training new techs or are a new tech yourself these are great tools to help teach and learn the process of troubleshooting computer problems.
According to Morris, these flowcharts are:
not for absolute beginners, as you can see from looking at any of the diagnostic charts. There are no photo-illustrations in the book, no history, nor explanations of basic computer part functions, like “What’s a hard drive?”. The sole focus of the book is learning a structured approach to PC repair. The intended audience is hobbyists who already have some experience repairing computers or beginning computer technicians.
You can access these free flowcharts on the Foner Books website at http://www.fonerbooks.com/pcrepair.htm. You can also purchase the book with all 17 flowcharts on Amazon.com

Good blog post. Things i would like to make contributions about is that personal computer memory must be purchased if the computer cannot cope with anything you do by using it. One can add two RAM boards of 1GB each, in particular, but not one of 1GB and one with 2GB. One should always check the company’s documentation for one’s PC to make certain what type of ram is essential.

Charts are really necessary for the technicians. They are really helpful during the repairing process. They help a technician to create an image about the board.
