Repairing computers (lemmy.ml)

Hello everyone!

I've been thinking for some time about learning to fix computers, kind of started the trip already, since I learned to install operative systems, formatting partitions, learning the components of a computer, the types of wires, and so on. Still I've been doing this with some computers I've found on the street and my own, and still probably need a lot of practice and things to learn.

So I wanted to ask you two questions. Do you know of some good resource to learn to repair PCs? What kind of tools would I need if I want to earn some money from this and do it semi-professionally?

Thanks!

If you mean other than community college, you might get lucky and beg an actual professional for an apprenticeship.

If you have experience as well as video/photo proof of your previous repairs, you might get someone to take you in. You trade your time for hands on experience which is plenty valuable.

Some employers don’t actually care about your education history, some are strict and just give you the circle jerk.
