i want to know some basic skill to repair computers.

Okay i’ll tell you what i know, what i mainly do on computers i am asked to fix.

First off, Cleaning the junk
http://www.ccleaner.com/
Ccleaner Deletes all their old internet history, Temp files. All the garbage on their computer this will clean up the harddrive and help the computer to run faster, in ccleaner there is a registry tab click on hit and hit Scan, then fix all errors. usually finds 100-500 Errors on the computers i scan

Next is to scan for Viruses
http://filehippo.com/download_malwarebytes_anti_malware/
Malware bytes anti malware is free and easy to use, one of the best anti Virus programs i know of. Its not a constant protection its just a scan to find possible infection carrying files and Already infected areas of the computer and remove them. Last time i used this was on one of my best friends GF’s computer. Scanned it and came up with 150 viruses. lol one guy i helped came up with 500+.
Now if your helping someone and just want to give them a working computer and walk away one of the highest rated Anti Virus programs is (no NOT avg) its Avira.
http://www.free-av.com/
It will bring up a little message saying its detected a virus if you’ve got one, just tell them if they ever see it hit deny access. Simple as that. This is nice because its 100% free and Works As good if not better then Norton and McAfee, It also uses very little ram so it won’t slow your computer like Norton and McAfee do.

Fixing the Startup Issues.
Okay just about every program you install over the life of your computer wants to start WITH your computer. This will Cause a Swarm of information when you first start and often causes a ridiculous amount of lag. This can be fixed by windows simply, I also have a program. but for now the windows way. Go to the start Menu, And click on RUN. Type in
MSCONFIG
this will bring up Microsoft configuration thinger. lol Click on the tab labeled STARTUP you can look thru and decide what you want to disable or Just hit DISABLE all, Everything in the list is not Vital To your computer’s well being. In this list will be things like AIM, MSN, etc garbage you don’t need slowing you down. Of course this dose not permanently stop them from starting, For instance aim always trys to start when you start your computer, so if you disable it now, and then later use the program, it will try an start with your computer again. This is where my program comes in
http://www.disablestartup.com/
Disable Startup Is simple, install it and hit on the bottom start with windows, now up top tell it to not allow anything from this point on to start with Windows Do not give warning, This is very good If the person you’re helping isn’t so great with computers it will just stop EVERYTHING and lets them not worry about it, They will just have to open it by themselves if they want it.

Last but not least some computers you come across are to far gone to fix, The best thing to do with them is to just to a Fresh Reinstall of windows, You can either go the legal way of buying the operating system or torrent it, Im not endorsing any illegal activities just stating your options. (must say or they’ll ban me… AGAIN.. -_-)
use Alcohol 120% for Burning any ISO’s (digital Images) you have.
now all that i’ve told you so far, if i was to go into detail of how to get a Operating system and Install a new one on someones computer would take up atleast as much if not more uhm Paragraphs. So i’ll Assume you know a bit and leave you with a few pointers. (if you don’t understand what im talking about don’t worry about it) When your installing the Operating system they’ll ask you if you want to Quick Format or Full Reformat the Harddrive. Quick does not delete the garbage they may have had on the harddrive before, So say they used 50gb of their 100gb harddrive, if you do a Quick Format they’re only going to be able to use the 50gb remaining, the FULL reformat Erases everything on the harddrive and starts fresh, But Can take a while, as for mine being 360gb it takes upto 2hours to completely reformat it.
Once you have the operating system installed You’ll need to install drivers.
download this disk using a BitTorrent client
http://btjunkie.org/torrent/75000-drivers-for-Windows-2000-XP-and-Vista/679645c72bcfc75d28f788beee73fe59d0a4e8f694e7
its a ISO image filled with 75000 Drivers, all free all legal. Drivers let you computer Recognize things. Graphics drivers, Ethernet Drivers(for internet) etc all of which you very much need this CD makes it simple. once you’ve installed the operating system go to Start, hit control Panel and go to System. goto Hardware tab and click on Device manager, now if any drivers are out of place They’ll appear with Yellow Question marks i believe.. Anyway, mm this is somewhat shady in the back of my mind. lol Double click or Right click on it and hit Update Drivers. i believe, They’ll ask you if you want to search on the internet for drivers and tick no and click Next. i belie

i want to buy a tool kit i can use for computer repairs as well as network. i do not mind the cost i just want the best tool kit.

There are several ways to go here. I’ve been doing repairs for almost 20 yrs. after using several kits I’ve come to the conclusion that a kit is the wrong way to go. Every kit has at least one tool that’s not right.
Get a Letherman Keep it with you at all times.
Find a well made bit screwdriver.
Network tools are more depending on money and need. A simple $50 net connection tool will usually do the job. But you can spend thousands on network sniffers.
Get all other tools as you need them. That way you can pick a good tool and only what you actually use.

What I am in need of is something that not only scans the computer, but something that also fixes damaged areas and cleans unused areas. Everything I can find only scans.

Go to this website http://www.stevengould.org and download "cleanup". This is a free and aw some program. It is really small file and work wonders. You can just run a regular cleanup and it will wipe out all the junk temp files and cookies.and it frees up all the junk left behind from surfing the Internet.. You will be totally surprised on how much space it will free up. You can also change the settings and can set it to totally wipe out your drive if you are getting rid of your computer or doing a total reinstall too

my computer,is in really bad shape missing pieces broken all around .is there anyway that cost less than a 100 bucks?

Check out yelp.com and hopefully you’ll find a place consumer reviewed in your price range.

Good luck.

doing the repairs is able to snoop around if s/he wants to?

ie: is it normal and necessary practice to give the person repairing your computer the password you use to reach your desktop?

To make thinngs easier for the person doing the repair your should give them the password and assume they will ’snoop’ around!

The password can be bypassed anyway, and being logged in as a different user may result in different operating parameters than when you are using it!…. perhaps making the repair more difficult!

As for the snooping…. it’s likely to be necessary at times!…. Hey and look what happened to Garry Glitter!!

Hope this Helps!

can we say it as technician?

You could call him a technician, but my son who is in the business rather likes the term I.T. guy.

(nervously looks side to side) Who said that

In about two hours I will be going to the apple store to get my MacBook Pro fixed. Should I bring the box and everything the computer originally came with, or just the MacBook Pro itself?

Asked & answered!!!

Posting again doesn’t help.

its inevitable but i do feel that too manypeople take their pc to the repair man when it could easily be repaired at home with a little study / It always makes me laugh in pc world or the like when you hear people at the tech desk asking numbnut questions like can you wipe my disk and stick a new OS on it or put some extra ram in when these actions are so easy to do at home , including virus removal .

I’m looking for someone reliable that can possibly make in home calls for pc repairs. I don’t really have the money to buy brand new equiptment, but I know that my current pc can be cleaned and reinstalled with newer, smoother software. I also think that I need an anti-virus.
Please inform, it would be greatly appreciated.
