Hello everyone!

I’ve been thinking for some time about learning to fix computers, kind of started the trip already, since I learned to install operative systems, formatting partitions, learning the components of a computer, the types of wires, and so on. Still I’ve been doing this with some computers I’ve found on the street and my own, and still probably need a lot of practice and things to learn.

So I wanted to ask you two questions. Do you know of some good resource to learn to repair PCs? What kind of tools would I need if I want to earn some money from this and do it semi-professionally?

Thanks!

    I just broke a lot of stuff, but there are a ton of resources. You can probably find an old comptia a+ book somewhere which will guide you through the basics. I have one lying around. Most computers are the same under the hood. Just a tip from past mistakes… always have the proper tools. Also, make sure safety is your top priority. This means don’t do anything stupid like mess around with lithium-ion batteries and take troubleshooting and replacing stuff like the PSU seriously since you can do serious damage to the components and the voltage can also cause harm to you if you aren’t careful.
