I am starting a mobile PC repair service in my local area and i would like to know what would be suitable software to carry with me and maybe suitable hardware and power tools to take for testing etc. I know different problems require different bits n bobs but any advice would be appreciated :)
Mobile Pc repair kit and software advice please?
Computer repairs? On what level?
If you're just going to replace parts, lots of parts.
Software:
BartPE
Ultimate Boot CD
GPartEd
A Linux live CD (for disk recovery, using ddrecover)
A promiscuous wifi program of some sort, to test wifi adapters. (You should also have a working WAP in the truck.)
A bootable CD with a CD test suite
An LCD test suite
I usually carry a few GB of utilities, VB, in case I need to write a quick utility, a web site on a stick.
You might want to keep a computer in the truck that runs a web site through your in-truck LAN, to test web connection problems.
If you're going to do more than replace parts, a good multimeter and a triggered scope, at least dual-trace.
You'll want a power alternator to provide normal house power (for wherever you are - 125/60, 220/50 - whatever is used where you are), since switching supplies don't work normally on a lot of inverters.
A full tool kit - flat, Philips, Torx, square and hex bits, needlenose, diagonals, forceps (the medical kind), wire strippers, crimpers and a full kit of terminals, including RJ-11, RJ-45 and coax (for cable jumpers for cable internet connections), a few different mirrors, a magnetic retriever.
And a few mechanics' magnetic trays and a muffin pan.
A 2.5", 3.5", SATA to USB adapter is always handy.
Compressed air (easy in a truck) to blow the dust out. Not too much pressure OR volume.
A fire extinguisher sitting in easy reach of any position you may work in.
