Simple home repairs for a PC
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Working on your own computer can be fun - frustrating at times too. Even if you didn’t save a dime by doing the job yourself, knowing your way around the innards of your machine can be a lifesaver at times.
Most people - even if they aren’t computer hobbyists - can replace power supplies, add accessory cards and replace hard disks. All these tasks have gotten easier over time. Nowadays computer hardware is modular - there’s no soldering required and most of these jobs can be done in 30 minutes or less.
I’m going to include some links that will take you to pages that do a good job of making each of these tasks easy-to-understand. And I’ll offer my usual qualifier - a bad job can wreck your computer. If, after reading how to do the job you find that you are uncomfortable trying - don’t. Also follow the directions on each page as far as protecting yourself from electric shock.
