I recommend anyone getting into this to at least read the Comptia A+ 1101 + 1102 certification book from Mike Meyers who is the top IT author. Book is well written, easy to sit down and read 40 pages without banging your head on the wall. I currently go to school for Networking + Cybersecurity, also have an IT HelpDesk position, what I am learning from this book is more than what the college taught me and is assisting me with knowledge in my position. I am planning on starting a PC Repair business on the side after getting through more of the book.
This video is way more useful then the last one I watched, where the guy just said "know everything". I left a salty comment about how that is both impossible and not necessary. You don't need to know everything, you just need to get really good at finding answers.
That's exactly right. I've been messing with computers since 1994 and everything I know I accumulated by trial and error and I definitely don't know everything. But I guarantee I can solve most end user problems. Like this guy states, most PC issues can be solved by backing data up and reinstalling windows, short of hardware issues. Those require a little knowledge or experience.
Wow man! So me and my girlfriend are about to start a computer/electronic repair at home. And after this video I am hyped to get started. I knew most of it beforehand but you are such a great teacher and you have a good humor. You are going places my friend. - Norway
electronic repair is very complex. if you do phone repair you don't need to learn electronics. but if you are doing computer you may need it to go deeper like board repairs.
@@aktech3271 facts people just assume you can "restore" a PC by reinstalling windows, thats far from the truth, what if it was for a Business that needed that information, you cant just simply nuke the PC and start over, a beginner wouldn't know to do certain measures to combat a virus for example. i think manually uninstalling a virus is more vital then just simply reinstalling windows
@@jakes-dev1337 I think a major part is that it's probably too time consuming to offer services that require soldering unless it's a shop dedicated to that type of work
@@heldscissors4132 I work in K-12 IT and we have a rather large number of Chromebooks that we've had to trash (send to e-waste technically) because the USB-C port gets damaged intentionally or unintentionally by students. The Chromebooks we support don't have modular ports so we can't easily replace the port in-house. We don't have the tools, training, and most importantly, time to devote fixing 10's of Chromebooks with bad USB-C ports. Its the same issue with some of our staff devices. They have USB-C ports and over time they fail because teachers put papers or other heavy objects near the cable connector (even though we specifically ask them not to do that) and it sucks because have to trash otherwise good devices.
Hey man you should really try to make informative youtube shorts. They're booming right now and you could make short informative videos, they'll gain traction!
I feel like if you're wanting to start this business you would already know how to repair PCs and have some sort of certification , was looking for more business aspect not the actual repair aspect
I havent gotten into this but might. A freind of mine payed me 150 dollars to clean his desktop an get it running. it was dead, dirty, and abused. Had so many viruses that windows wouldnt function so i asked him if i could go ahead and wipe it. Nothing in cmd would work and desktop crashed after loading into windows. goes black. So i went into recovery settings and installed a useable software. From there i installed win 10 pro and completely formatted all his drives. Updated the bios too. Cleaned heatsinks in clorox/hot water with no electronics attached then completely dried, mobo cleaned in isopropyl. Its not hard to do any of this and its a useful skill to have. I dont have any special tools besides an arrangement of screwdrivers and thermal paste. Toothbrush helps too and the neccecarys as mentioned in this guys video like usb for windows install, drivers, or bios. More extensive work needs soldering equipment and electrical tools. Which i dont have, but you can always replace parts and narrow your problem if your friend/ costumer is ok with that.
@@readylucas oh alright, I am just weirded out by people who make their friends pay for such thing as a pc repair. Of course when it doesn't cost you anything. No disrespect btw.
@@mn1083 if it wasn't a friend I'd probably ask for 20 bucks just to clean the computer, the friend in name though took terrible care of his pc and it was in really bad shape. I would never ask the price he payed me he just knew I was reliable and he would get a working computer back.
Thank you for your video. It was thorough, useful and interesting. I've learned a great deal. Best wishes to you & your business from Melbourne Australia.
It's to install operating systems to your computer so let's say your computer is full of viruses you want to completely delete everything no need to backup anything So you do a hard reset on the computer and you install windows in it or IOS depending on the computer you have Or you can download some software that will Recover lost data On hard drives/ Solid sate drive
You lost my confidence when you said you had a usb port not working. Why don’t you fix it? It’s like the mechanics asking you to jump,start his car. Just kidding. Thanks for the upload.
@@heldscissors4132 I offered repair services for computers, phones, and tablets. I also would buy broken devices so I could fix and resell them for a profit.
Thanks you for the video. No offence man but One piece of advice .. pls don't put thr sound of ur saliva in between from ur mouth. Content is great but the sound of ur mouth of saliva made me practically vomit.

How's it going after 3 months?

@@heldscissors4132ngl thats why I was looking through this video I want to focus more on soldering and physical hardware than software

Did you ask your friend to pay you or did he insist.
@@mn1083 he insisted. I don't usually ask for a price if it's a friend. He had money to spare and I made sure everything was working right.

@@readylucas 20 bucks is a fair price I'd probably price it like that too.
This is really gonna help me, as I am planning a tech repair company, and computer repair for software stuff is hard to do, so this will help

2:36 - Whoa! Hahahaha! Props to you for using that Marc Ecko Chrome extension theme... I swear by it and have rarely seen anyone else with it...
Dude has a computer business to fix computers, starts out by plugging in a flash drive, and says "whoops, I have one port that doesn't work." HAHAHA
Hey, so what do you use these software to repair? What do you do with them? Thanks

Why would you say that? Most people have data they want to save. You’re gonna be in big trouble if you wipe their machine. Always back their stuff up.
Ha ha - computer repair guy and one of the first things you say is one of my drives doesn't work...lol
What's that saying about the cobblers children? Lol.
Do you install rufus on the USB?
Great and helpful, hope you are good with this buisness!
Thanks comrade I can finally delve into a stable source of income.
for Depth it's more in "De Ph Th" or also can be pronounced deaf.
I have a old 2.5 IDE USB HDD that is painfully slow, and a SD card with a multiboot system
Lol computer repairman with a broken USB port we off to a good start 😂😂
Ventoy dude, bare basic if not medicat.
You lost my confidence when you said you had a usb port not working. Why don’t you fix it? It’s like the mechanics asking you to jump,start his car. Just kidding. Thanks for the upload.
Do you repair motherboards or just replacements of parts?
Its replacement or parts for now
@@CaliRamirez831 thx
Awesome
Hmm. I sure wish I could've made it thru this video but the audio is pretty atrocious
Exellent😊
That wallpaper tho 😳
Depth bruh 😂 Good video
video too silent for me
Why not just use a Gandalf iso lol
you got same keyboard as me
You can audibly hear a girl moaning in the background at the end
Your not a true computer guy unless you got some anime in your background

There is no money in computer repair.
How come?
Oh ok. I use to make an extra 3k per month (net profit) but it depends on how you do it. Don't just sit around and wait for repair requests.
@@CallMeMilenko how would you go about doing it / what services did you offer?
@@heldscissors4132 I offered repair services for computers, phones, and tablets. I also would buy broken devices so I could fix and resell them for a profit.
