Troubleshooting and Repairing Consumer Electronics Without a Schematic

In this updated new edition of his bestselling guide, Homer Davidson, one of the most respected names in the field of consumer electronics, provides experienced, hands-on information and advice on how to troubleshoot and repair a wide range of electronic units--when you don't have the benefit of schematic diagrams. Davidson shows how to diagnose and solve the circuit problems that commonly occur in audio amps, VCRs, car radios, stereos, boomboxes, and more. For each unit, he offers a list of typical mechanical problems and a corresponding chart that points out where to check for those problems. Included are all-new case histories that demonstrate how repairs have actually been made.
