What tools and programs are needed to repair computers?

Question

Do it yourself

Hello, I decided to start repairing computers, but I don’t know exactly what to take with me to the call, here is a draft set:
Tools
1) a set of screwdrivers
2) post card (I haven’t bought it yet, advise probably better universal for stationary and laptops)
3) PSU tester (also advise)
4) Multimeter
5) Brushes for cleaning dust
6) plastic pick, sticks, cards (for disassembling laptops and not only)
7) speaker
8) portable DVD-ROM
9) USB modem with unlimited
10) a pair of flash drives
11) universal power supply for laptops
It seems that everyone correct me what else is needed
PS And if the monitor does not work, how to check that it can be somehow through a smartphone through some kind of adapter, what do you say?
Programs
1) A hard drive with a DVD-ROMa emulator like Zalman
2) LiveUSB with programs (Advise what programs I used now MB2k10_6.0
3) Aida64
4) Memtest
5) Antiviruses
6) CClear
7) Cristal Disk
8) Victoria (I can’t use, but I'll figure it out)
9) Windows all distributions (Advise where there is a torrent with original images of all OSes even XP sp1)
10) DriverPack (good or bad (if you don't have Internet))
What else do you need from programs?
And what else do you need?
And also advise a reliable online store where you can buy everything for computers and everything is of high quality?
Thank you all for your replies good people.

Answer 1

In general, you can throw out Victoria, as I understand it, you were going to fix hards from bads with it, a bad job, and for a very, very, very long
time I liked the auslogic boostspeed program, it seems version 5 (the next shit) it visually and beautifully "repairs" the computer. Just do not use it on win10, they say the start breaks. Try to carry pirated software with you to a minimum, for example ,
avira free antivirus, it does a great job, the main thing is to explain to the client that it is free and as powerful as paid counterparts do not repair the apartments, the owners run around for a long time and constantly. In general, it’s better not to disassemble laptops ... Engage in software and stationary PCs
Remember, if the total amount of software that you installed exceeds 50 thousand rubles, then this is a criminal offense, if not, then the administration is not scary. Therefore, if they ask to install AutoCAD and Photoshop with Corel, they went to yuh. Set Windows to a minimum of 10 thousand, the office is somewhere the same, well, the little things of software

Answer 2

first of all, dismantling of machines, it doesn’t matter a laptop or a hospital, just do not do it in front of the client.
possibly not at the client. even if cleaned.
if you are going to serve not only private individuals, then get a couple of the simplest office machines that you will put in place for a replacement during the repair. it will raise your authority to the skies.
they can also be rented out.
never explain to the client that the problem is simple, you will quickly fix everything. He has already contacted you, so there is no need to advertise yourself. if you want or asks the client to talk about a problem / breakdown, then speak to prof. slang. Be a Hacker in the eyes of the fucking client!
and never scold any hardware or software manufacturers!
and most importantly gain knowledge. Otherwise, the repair of other people's computers will be at your expense.

Answer 3

A LAN tester and blue electrical tape will come in handy, as well as plastic ties for laying wires.

Answer 4

There is nothing in the list to check/repair the network yet. Patch cord, a handful of connectors, crimping pliers, a simple lan tester for quick dialing.
And some simple, reliable, not heavy netbook / laptop can come in handy in different situations. Set up the router, check the network / Internet, monitor.

Answer 5

Instead of a PSU tester, it's easier to take the PSU itself, immediately change it - a frequent breakdown, almost a consumable.
A multimeter is a useful thing, but it has never come in handy, and the BIOS displays all parameters in health status.
Brushes can be useful, but a vacuum cleaner is better, powerful enough.
To disassemble laptops, it is better to equip a normal workplace, there will be dozens of small parts, you need good light and a lot of tools.

Answer 6

In your other question, you asked what hardware is needed to run the game. Are you sure that it is worth doing computer repair?

Answer 7

the set is, of course, the maximum, as if no one will advise you a universal set, all this comes with experience, and so it will go for a start.
an online store ..... it's hard to advise, it all depends on the place of residence, what is good for a Siberian is not suitable for a resident of central Russia.
and at the expense of software - welcome to the torrents, which you will understand.
