Jerome W. Niemi: WOW! This book seems to be packed with all the info you'll need to fix electronics on your own. And its content is printed in a tone that makes it easy for newbies or wanna-bes to understand. It clearly expresses everything from all the downfalls of fixing things yourself and most common mistakes that you'll want to avoid. Attempting to fix electronics can be scary, especially if you don't know what most of the small components within the unit are or what they do. However, this book sums everything up clearly for you.

After reading it completely, there's no guarantee that you'll become a repairman, and even if you never do, you will take away a lot of info that you can benefit from when dealing with broken down electronics in the future.

The only thing is the print is rather small as compared to most books and the ink is a bit light, making it harder to read. There are a lot of illustrations and pictures in it, but the bulk of them are in black and white.

Overall, if you have great vision and want to learn more about electronics, this book is definitely a must.

Jed Rhoades: I’m using this book as supplementary curriculum to the ISCET ESA modules. It has been very informative and easy to read and comprehend. I would highly recommend it to both electronics hobbyists and those studying to be professionals like me.

R. Leonard: This is a great book for those who want to get into electronic repair but aren't sure where to start. Some material is dated but that's because of how fast the industry changes. Worth the investment for the knowledge contained within.

Geordan: Ler do começo ao fim é importante. Não é para completos novatos.
O autor diz que mesmo que você não saiba os princípios da eletrônica você pode se beneficiar com o livro. Concordo. A quantidade de informação é tão grande que mesmo alguém que não saiba sobre eletrônica básica acabará aprendendo. Recomendo que se você não conhece eletrônica, assista alguns vídeos sobre eletrônica básica, medições, fórmulas de cálculo de potência , ligaçõws série/paralelo e regulagem de vontagem, de corrente e uso de multímetros em série e paralelo.

Elrond: Overall, I learned a lot from this book and I can still learn something new every time I pick it up. Geier has a great writing style and a deep knowledge of his subject. He's an Electron Whisperer. This is not a book for beginners. It requires at least a working knowledge of components and soldering; he covers them but not in any detail. There is also very little formal explanation of theory so don't buy it for that. But the book is laced with practical advice from a guy who has been in the trenches and that part is invaluable. His oscilloscope training and suggestions are very good as far as operating the device. But if you want hands-on description of how it's used for diagnosing and troubleshooting, look elsewehere. He devotes one long chapter to advice on workshop and tools: immediate essentials vs. what to put off and in what order to buy them.

And there are stories. He also tells many stories of tough jobs and how he diagnosed and fixed them. These stories are entertaining and informative, and each one is there to illustrate his methodology of troubleshooting. However, including so many of them took up space that could have been put to better use. We don't all think...
