Repairing and Upgrading Your PC

Most computer users think that fiddling with the insides of their PC is taboo. They fear that by removing the screws that hold the case on, they’re crossing into forbidden territory. And even for those who know they can open the box and fix or upgrade their PC, analysis paralysis often stops them in their tracks:

Which upgrades offer the best bang for the buck? How do you pinpoint the faulty component that’s making your system freeze? What about compatibility issues?

Get ready to get unstuck and get your PC running fast and running right. Repairing and Upgrading Your PC delivers start-to-finish instructions, simple enough for even the most inexperienced PC owner, for troubleshooting, repairing, and upgrading your computer. Written by hardware experts Robert Bruce Thompson and Barbara Fritchman Thompson, this book covers it all: how to troubleshoot a troublesome PC, how to identify which components make sense for an upgrade, and how to tear it all down and put it back together. This book shows how to repair and upgrade all of your PC’s essential components:



Motherboard, CPU, and Memory. Choose the optimal match of these core components to keep your PC running at top speed
Hard Drive, Optical Drive, and Removable Storage
Give your computer what it needs for long-term and short-term storage
Audio and Video. Enhance your computing experience with the right sound and graphics devices for your needs
Input Devices. Pick the best keyboard and mouse to keep your hands happy and healthy
Networking. Set up secure wireless networking to keep the bits flowing between your computers and the outside world
Cases and Power Supplies. Keep everything running cool and reliably


With its straightforward language, clear instructions, and extensive illustrations, this book makes it a breeze for PC owners of any skill level to work on their computer.

PC Upgrade and Repair Bible

Updated and revised with eighty percent new material, this book is 100 percent of what readers need to upgrade, fix, or troubleshoot PCs
Sixty-five percent of U.S. households own a PC; this book caters to the do-it-yourselfers in these households, both novices and tech hobbyists alike, who are looking for an approachable reference
A one-stop reference for topics such as video, CD, and DVD; multimedia; storage; communications (network and Internet); peripherals; and integrating with laptops and handhelds
Concludes with a step-by-step tutorial on building an “extreme” machine that can handle the most demanding multimedia or gaming applications
Written by Marcia and Barry Press, authors of PC Toys (076454229X)

This single, albeit heavy, volume contains a profound level of detail. With over 1,340 pages in 41 chapters, 200 pages of finely printed appendices and indices, more than 700 tables and illustrations, a CD-ROM with useful utilities in both the front and back cover of the book, and a fabulous list of almost every vendor of every imaginable PC component, this guide to upgrading holds its own in a crowded field of fine books on the subject.

This volume serves as a desktop reference for everything–including storage and memory upgrades, multimedia enhancements, the special requirements of the roadworthy laptop and notebook, printing, networking, modems, and other peripherals. The book’s tabular data is very helpful and, in many cases, the photographic evidence helps with the practical implementation of a particular upgrade. In general, PC Upgrade and Repair Bible contains more data than step-by-step illustrations, which may make the actual machine upgrading process difficult for the reader who needs a lot of handholding. On the other hand, this volume is more comprehensive than some of its more graphical competitors. The reader who called this book “the Swiss army knife of computer books” was dead-on accurate.

Brief History of Computers, Revised

A revised version of A Brief History of Data Processing, an earlier version. This book is written in the style of King James English. It is an irreverent look at the history of computers, companies and persons in the evolution of computers. Beginning with Konrad Zuse in Germany it spares no company nor person with biblical-like text supported with abundant footnotes to explain the sometime arcane text.
Who says computers are a dull, humorless subject.
Do you remember the Eagle computer? Do you know who developed COBOL, BASIC?
Do you know who perfected the first computer with memory resident programs?

HDMI to DVI for Quality Video Transmission
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the only industry-standard interface for transmitting uncompressed digital data. HDMI cables are intended for use with a wide range of everyday electronic components, such as computers and a home theater system’s screen. HDMI provides video, especially at high resolutions, and renders small, high-contrast details, such as text, in high quality. DVI (Digital Visual Interface) is a video-interface standard that provides quality transmissions on digital display devices such as flat-panel LCD computer displays and digital projectors. Audio will need to be transmitted through a separate audio cable(s) or through a fiber-optic (Toslink) cable as the DVI connector of this cable is not fitted for audio capability.

For Use with Computers, Blu-Ray Players, and Game Consoles
This cable offers optimal support for resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 and is intended to connect computers and other source components with HDMI outputs–such as Blu-Ray players or Xbox 360/PlayStation 3 game consoles–to DVI-equipped televisions or monitors.

Turn Your Computer into a Home-Theater Center
The AmazonBasics HDMI to DVI Adapter Cable is intended to connect computers with DVI connections–such as home-theater PCs, Mac minis, and some laptops–to an HDMI-equipped HDTV, projector, or other display device.

For office professionals, you can use this cable to create quality presentations using your projector. For home users, the cable will help you turn your computer into a virtual home-entertainment center, so you can watch all your computer-based media on your home-theater screen.

Gold-Plated Connectors for Superior Conductivity
This AmazonBasics cable features shielding, a durable PVC outer layer, gold-plated HDMI A Male to DVI 24+1 Male connectors that resist corrosion while offering optimum signal transfer. To ensure compatibility, it’s best to check your component product manuals to determine what kind of connections your components require.
