    Tools, hardware, software for PC repair??

    I need to a list of everything needed for PC repair. I'm not really talking about servers but if you have any advice in that area, I'd love to hear it. Thanks.

    I have a very nice 3# short handled sledge hammer that has solved a lot of my issues immediately.

    I'll be interested in other peoples choices. =^..^=
    If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
    1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
    2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
    3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
    4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
    5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

        First I take the hammer to it. Then I put a stick of dynamite in it. If there's anything left...I run over it with my car.

          I have never had a return call, and data is always securely irretrievable ... and its fun too. =^..^=

            Lol BC for president!
            You mastered in another field David and in no time, we all like BC copier guru but that was excellent exhibition of skills

                Essential tools for PC repair include a variety of screwdrivers, a multi-meter, anti-static wrist strap, compressed air, and a soft, clean cloth. Some specialized tools may also be needed, such as a spudger or a heat gun. In terms of hardware, it is helpful to have a spare hard drive, RAM, and power supply. Additionally, a USB flash drive and a bootable rescue disk are invaluable for troubleshooting and repair. As for software, there are many diagnostic and repair tools available, such as Speccy, HWiNFO, CrystalDiskInfo, and Malwarebytes.
