This book sets out the principles and practice of personal computer servicing in a handy reference manual. It contains a wealth of information, including a large number of circuits and block diagrams. Some of the latest software diagnostic routines have been included together with listings and, where appropriate, actual screen dumps. This fourth edition has been completely rewritten to cover the latest technology such as 32-bit microprocessors and serial communications servicing. Although silicon technology is inherently very reliable, the complexity of today's personal computers renders them prone to failure from a number of common causes - and some that are not quite so common!  In addition, other parts of the system (including such peripherals as tape and disk drives, printers, modems and monitors) may require routine adjustment and preventive maintenance. This completely rewritten fourth edition still covers the whole range of microcomputer equipment, but now also gives a guide to developments and trends such as the new generation of diagnostic software, code for which is included in the book, and applications such as serial communication, and memory and hard disk management.  Reviews of previous editions  'A real gem. Some necessary theory is put over brilliantly...excellent chapters on equipment and trouble shooting, and the packed book ends up with a magic reference section.' Computer in Schools'This book is worth having to test equipment usage techniques alone - the other information is a bonus.' Electronic Technology  'Welcome indeed is Michael Tooley's exhaustive but easy-to-use book...it will go a long way to overcoming the awful problem of equipment faults.'Laboratory Equipment Digest'At last a crucial gap in the huge pile of microcomputer literature is filled - and this book fills the gap so well it'll be hard to beat.' Education Equipment  'A very worthwhile publication.' Television'This is an excellent book and recommended.' ComputingThis is an enormously thorough book on how PCs and peripherals work and what to do when they don't.'PC Plus Magazine, June 1995

This latest edition of the Newnes Data Communications Pocket Book has been substantially updated to keep abreast with the rapid pace of developments in data communications technology. New topics have been introduced - data compression, the Internet and World-Wide Web, HyperText Mark-up Language - existing material has been updated and expanded. Despite the complexity of subject, this wealth of information is presented succinctly and in such a way, using tables, diagrams and brief explanatory text, as to allow the user to locate information quickly and easily. Thus the book should be invaluable to those involved with the installation, commissioning and maintenance of data communications equipment, as well as the end user. Mike Tooley is the well known author of many books including the Newnes Computer Engineer's Pocket Book, now in its fourth edition.

Networking & Cloud Computing

This classic text has now been completely revised and updated, making it an ideal introductory course in reliability for a wide range of engineering qualifications, including City &amp; Guilds 8030 and HNC/Ds. A new chapter focuses on the role of the microprocessor and microcomputer controller, and the use of algorithms for monitoring system performance. The addition of numerous problems, self-check questions and exam-style questions makes this an extremely useful book for courses with an element of independent study.

This book presents the content of the GNVQ in a way that encourages students to explore engineering for themselves, developing the expertise and knowledge required at this level. As well as a clear and accessible text, emphasis is placed on learning through activities, and self-evaluation through frequent knowledge-checks. Practice questions are also provided, and will prove particularly helpful for externally assessed units. Much of this book is completely new - reflecting a major syllabus revision that has taken place, thus making this text even more essential for students following the full VCE/Advanced GNVQ or a single award programme. This book is the only advanced engineering GNVQ/Vocational A-Level title endorsed by Edexcel. Written for the new VCE / Advanced GNVQ specifications with full coverage of all the compulsory units Clear and straightforward text includes plenty of activities and review questions Applied mathematics incorporated throughout the book via Maths in Action panels

Newnes PC Troubleshooting Pocket Book provides a concise and compact reference that describes, in a clear and straightforward manner, the principles and practice of faultfinding and upgrading PCs and peripherals. The strong practical emphasis is backed up with many illustrations and examples of real-lie problems. The book is aimed at anyone who is involved with the installation, configuration, maintenance, upgrading, repair or support of PC systems. It also provides non-technical users with sufficient background information, charts and checklists to enable the diagnosis of faults and help to carry out simple modifications and repairs. The new edition of PC Troubleshooting will continue to include a number of short cuts that are instrumental in avoiding hours of potential frustration and costly effort. In order to reflect rapid changes in computer technology (both hardware and software) this new edition has been completely revised and rewritten. New and expanded sections on: modern machines (Pentium II, III, IV, AMD); modern buses (FSB, AGP, Cyrix, Chip sets); different RAM chip types and connectors; Win 2000, ME, XP; latest SCSI standards, Ultra DMA, "live" re-partitioning of the disc, FAT16, FAT36, NTFS, performance and compatibility differences; 'famous' viruses and personal firewalls. * All the essential data for PC fault-finding and upgrading* Ideal for systems support staff, businesses, students, teachers, and home PC users* Strong practical emphasis is backed up with many illustrations and examples of real problems
