Basic hardware repair tips
Hardware repairs often happen at the most inopportune moment. Unfortunately, they can leave a huge hole in your budget if you don't plan for them. Here are some ideas and tips to consider, that will help ease your next device repair problem.
before you do it yourself
Make sure the device is not covered by a service contract or warranty. If it is still under warranty, then you need to know how to use the warranty properly. First, contact the warranty company and ask for clarification on using the warranty correctly (do not void the warranty by trying to repair the device yourself). Then, your next step is to contact (or take) an appropriate maintenance or service company and ask them to repair it under the protective cover of your warranty. You also need to ensure that you are properly reimbursed for all charges after your device has been repaired.
Do it yourself
If your device has no warranty or coverage, your next step is to track down the owner's manual and attempt a repair. You should not repair any equipment without having the Service Manual with you. When a manual or warranty isn't an option, your next option is to look under the hood or inside the device and find basic instruction manuals. Most devices have a small set of operating instructions, printed somewhere, that can help you solve your problem. But for most of us, these steps won't be enough.
