Scott Mueller Upgrading and Repairing Laptops Second Edition Scott Mueller 9780789733764 Books Reviews

• I bought this book several years ago (I bought also the two more recent version of Upgrading and repairing PC) I repaired my old Lenovo notebook with windows vista, nevertheless, I learned a lot from the Scott Mueller books, other publication help me more, to replace the HDD, install Windows 7 and upgrade the Memory in my Lenovo. (The small book " The Healthy PC" has in few pages everything I needed to Know.) The reason for what I decided to write this review is to advise the readers about the "Manufacturer User Manual", in my case The Manual provided by the site Lenovo USA is useless (A complete chapter of "Repair Tools" is missing) they want you sent your Laptop to them.) The site Levovo Global had a Manual with a Chapter of tools to replace the HDD and upgrade the Memory.
• Good reference and interesting as all of Scott's writing, but woefully short on upgrading. I had hoped for more on ugrading possibilities for CPU and memory, but have actually found more information online and on blogs than was in the book. Not as useful as his desktop upgrade series which I really used.
• I bought this book hoping it would help with laptop diagnosis and disassembly. I was very disappointed. There is almost nothing laptop-specific in this book, and it does not cover some very common laptop problems. A lot of laptops I work on have video problems that are usually caused by a bad LCD screen, bad inverter, or bad motherboard. There is absolutely nothing in this book that helps diagnose which it could be, nor is there any info for disassembly of those parts. There is also very little info for major laptop disassembly.
  
  Overall, I would not recommend this book unless you are looking for an in-depth description of how various hardware components work. There is very little in this book that applies only to laptops, and there is very little diagnostic help with laptop-specific problems.
• Despite some of the reviews, this is a great reference book.
  
  As the book points out, the nature of laptops requires a manual from the manufacturer for details on any specific model.
• Scott Mueller's book "Upgrading and Repairing Laptops" probably should read "The History of the Computer and How it Works". This book is over 800 pages and I quickly got lost in superfluous material dealing with how data is stored on a hard drive to a detailed description on how a video cable is made. What I was hoping for were specs of the top laptop manufacturers with detailed descriptions of removing and repairing, but found only minimal pages on the subject. Scott's solution is to download this information from the manufacturer which leaves me in a quandry why I bought the book. The CD disk I found useful but again deals with only one particular laptop.
  There is some very useful information in this book but getting it is chore.
• Very easy to understand but went out of date, as products of this type do, almost instantly. Would like a new one for a reduced price for current owners as many products do.
• Big book. A great book. A little dated and technical but still very good. DVD is a little condescending and not thorough but still okay. Book is expensive unless used .
• Oldeer version but packed with critical info you may need to know in a pinch ..ALWAYS a great buy for this Mueller book.
