CAN YOU RECOMMEND ANY GOOD BOOKS ABOUT MAC REPAIR?  (2.4)
---------------------------------------------------------

       Larry Pina has written several excellent guides to repairing 
  Macs.  Mac Classic & SE Repair and Upgrade Secrets (Peachpit Press, 
  $28, ISBN #1-56609-022-9) covers the SE, SE/30, Classic, and Classic 
  II.  This volume offers moderately detailed instructions for someone 
  with prior electronics experience to diagnose common problems, do 
  component level repairs and perform upgrades on compact Macs.  
  Macintosh Repair and Upgrade Secrets (Hayden Books $24.95, ISBN 
  #0-672-48452-8) is an earlier version of this book which covers 
  compact Macs from the 128K to the SE and the Lisa.  Pina's sequel, 
  Macintosh II Repair and Upgrade secrets, $39.95, ISBN 
  #0-13-929530-5, offers similar coverage of the Mac II family of 
  Machines.  All these books include valuable diagnostic software 
  on a bundled disk.  Before delving into this volume you should 
  be comfortable wielding a soldering iron on expensive equipment.  
  Finally he's also written the somewhat less technical and more 
  detailed Dead Mac Scrolls (PeachPit Press, ISBN #0-940235-25-0, $32) 
  which offers symptom-based procedures for diagnosing and repairing 
  many common problems.  This book includes good advice about how to 
  find and deal with a repair shop.  All four books deserve a place 
  in the library of anyone who intends to wield a soldering iron on 
  their Mac.
