14 DAY TRIAL // There are various ways to gain hardware and software knowledge, but for those people who can't attend standard courses or just want a comprehensive explanation for what part of a PC goes where, the Computer Repair Mastery Course may be the perfect thing.
It was about time someone put together this sort of guide that can demystify computers for the average consumer.
Simply put, the folks over at http://www.pcrepairdvd.com/ have created a complete guide that anyone can use to learn about PCs.
This is not just any course either, but something that lives up to its lofty name of Computer Repair Mastery Course.
Essentially, it is a collection of videos that explains the what, the how and the why of computer building and maintenance.
By going through this course, people will get to understand which component of the PC is which (motherboard, memory, graphics card, CPU, etc.).
With that figured out, they will know how to build a good computer from scratch.
Additionally, they will acquire the ability to identify which component causes whatever problem their PC suddenly starts exhibiting.
Furthermore, the course will make them know what tools should be used for each issue, including when a problem or another may be owed to software/malware/viruses.
Some people may think that paying $67 / 50 Euro (for online streamed videos) or $97 / 73 Euro (for a 5-DVD set) is too much.
To them we will only mention what repair shops will never tell any customer, especially customers whose system warranty is voided by simply opening the case: a large part of PC problems are minor and caused by the accumulation of dust, nothing else.
Even if a PC component really does become defective, it is much more convenient to just buy a replacement and quickly swap it out instead of paying service fees.
