Don’t let anyone kid you otherwise. It’s lucrative to know how to repair computers and can be a lucrative business indeed. The truth is that there aren’t a lot of people who know that much about computer repair, even though practically everyone owns a PC these days. What I see then is opportunity; the chance to make a lot of dough off of those who need the repairs done for them. So, get on with it, if that’s what you want to get involved in.
As there are varieties of things that can go wrong with any computer, there are also a lot of things you may do to troubleshoot. That, I believe, is the first thing that you need to acquaint yourself with when it comes to computer repairs. When you have that covered, you may find that not every computer repair situation is a complex one.
In the computer repair business, you snooze, you lose. There are so many technicians out there, with and without certification, who are just waiting for you to screw up so that they can scoop up your business. You simply cannot afford to screw up… for anything.
If you are into computer repairs, you have a lot of competition. You have a responsibility to keep yourself at the top of the game always so that you retain the patronage of your clients, and the respect of your competition. Always.
When you are working with tools that are not fully demagnetized, your computer’s hard drive is not protected from. Just stop and think how much damage that could do to the system. As a professional, you should know better. If you don’t, then you should spend some time learning as much more about such things as you should.
