Computer Repair on Site: The Basics
A Co-Worker today asked me what I brought with me if I had to fix a PC in the field. Since I do this from time to time for family and friends I made a check list of sorts:
· Screwdriver – Multi-Head Phillips in case you need to open the box
· Live Linux Boot CD – I like Ubuntu’s live CD
· Can of Air – All PC’s get dusty
· Flash Drive with Portable Apps – Firefox and an AV with the latest deffs.
· Latest exe of Firefox to put on their system
Even then I never have exactly what I need. If the person has an internet connect that lends itself to you plugging in your laptop (if you have a laptop) all the better to be able to download drivers or whatever else you need.
