Repairing small computers is not a task for the fainthearted. The electronics are highly integrated and tightly packed within the case. Expensive tools are often required to troubleshoot the problem and perform the repair. Yet, you can easily diagnose and fix many problems yourself with just a few common tools.
Maintain and Repair Your Notebook, Palmtop, or Pen Computer covers both the hard and easy problems in a clear, methodical manner. With nerve and a well-stocked workshop, you can avoid calling for help in many cases. The author takes you as far as you want to go and doesn't hesitate to tell you when you should get professional help.
What I found even mor
e valuable than the repair tips, however, was the excellent material on how components of small computers work--everything from batteries to storage devices to mice. As a reference alone, this book is worth the $18.95 price.

theoretical--and no language better exemplifies this than C++.
