First Sentence:
IN SOME CASES, YOU CAN DIAGNOSE A PROBLEM SIMPLY BY EXAMINING the symptoms logically.

Book Description
Staying away from hard-to-understand theory and mathematics, this practical handbook show you how common devices such as multimeters, frequency and logic probes, signal traces, and oscilloscopes are used. You'll pinpoint problems in everything from TV sets and computers to automotive electrical systems.

A practical, hands-on guide to troubleshooting with electronic test equipment - revised to include current testing techniques and new chapters on mechanical repairs and flowcharting.

Reviews:

I bought and read this book at a time when I wanted to understand electronics better. I also had an old shortwave radio made with vacuum tubes. I was eager to learn how to keep it and other things working. While I enjoyed reading it and it had some useful ideas, I never really used what I learned from the book on anything. The book will not hurt you and may even help you. How helpful the book ultimately is may depend on your own skills at reasoning out solutions to problems. It will not do that work for you.

Doesn't cover a whole bunch, but does make for good bathroom reading. Good beginnner book. The section on DIODE TESTING has a mistake. Horn has the diode discription and schematic symbol completely backwards. Good starter book nonetheless.
