The A+ Certification & PC Repair Handbook

Many A+ certification guides prepare aspiring PC technicians to pass the exam, but don't put test objectives in a "practical use" context. Other PC repair guides cover A+ exam objectives in a real-world setting, but don't prepare students well enough to pass the test and get certified. The A+ Certification and PC Repair Handbook solves this problem by combining a complete test preparation for the new A+ examinations (220-301 and 220-302) with a hands on guide that reflects how the A+ exam questions apply to real-world PC repair problems. The book teaches users how to install and troubleshoot hardware, and provides solutions to common operating system-related problems for machines running Microsoft Windows 9x, Me, 2000, and XP. Each chapter includes numerous diagrams and photographs, and explains PC repair techniques using easy-to-understand language and accessible terms. For each chapter explaining these PC repair tactics, another chapter is included on how to effectively pass the corresponding portion of the A+ exam, with sample exam questions based on the actual tests. Test-taking techniques are also covered, including the test's recent return to conventional linear testing, as opposed to the adaptive format of previous years. The book's companion CD-ROM contains video tutorials that illustrate PC repair techniques, and full-length, timed, 80-question conventional practice tests covering both modules (Core Hardware and OS Technology) of the A+ certification exam.Part I: PC Repair and Maintenance; Chapter 1: Overview; Chapter 2: System Configuration and Computer Hygiene; Chapter 3: Motherboards and Their Components; Chapter 4: Cases and Power Supplies; Chapter 5: Memory (RAM); Chapter 6: Magnetic Disk Drives; Chapter 7: CD and DVD Drives; Chapter 8: Video, Sound, Modems, and Network Adapters; Chapter 9: Input Devices; Chapter 10: Troubleshooting Internet Connections; Chapter 11: Troubleshooting; Chapter 12: Things Not to Do With A Computer; Chapter 13: MS-DOS and 32-bit Commands; Part II: The A+ Certification Exams; Chapter 14: Introduction; Part IIa: A+ Core Hardware Service Technician Study Guide (Exam 220-301); Chapter 15: Motherboards, Power, BIOS, and Expansion Buses, Chapter 16: Processors and Cache; Chapter 17: Understanding Memory; Chapter 18: System Resources and Input Devices; Chapter 19: Basic Output Devices; Chapter 20: Storage Devices and Interfaces; Chapter 21: Cables, Connectors, and Ports; Chapter 22: Basic Networking; Part IIb: A+ Operating Systems Technologies Study Guide (Exam 220-302); Chapter 23: Operating Systems Fundamentals and DOS; Chapter 24: Windows 9.X; Chapter 25: Windows NT; Chapter 26: Windows 2000; Chapter 27: Windows Me; Chapter 28: Windows XP; Appendix: On the CD-ROM; Practical Glossary; Index1584503726 Details   Quantity 500 item(s) available Weight 2.00 lbs Price: $54.95 Options   Quantity 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50  Add to cart
