| Appendix H. Annotated Bibliography
Linux guides and HOWTOs, available at the
Linux Documentation Project - LDP
. These sources of information are free and highly recommended.
I found two books about PC hardware which contain a dedicated
chapter about repairing laptops.
Author: Scott Mueller;
Title: Upgrading and Repairing PCs;
Publisher: QUE Corporation;
Author: Marc Misani;
Title: The Complete Hardware Upgrade and Maintainance Guide;

Review: Both books don't know about Linux and both are quite short about laptops.
The book by Marc Minasi provides a little more information about laptops.

Author: Stephen J. Bigelow;
Title: Maintain and Repair Your Notebook, Palmtop, or Pen Computer;
Publisher: McGraw Hill Text;
Year: September 1993;
Review by Booknews, Inc. , January 1, 1994: A guide to performing routine
maintenance and simple repairs to notebook, palmtop and pen computers.
Covers such topics as how to diagnose and replace faulty
LCD and plasma displays, and how to protect circuitry
from electrostatic damage. Written with beginners in mind -- but some
hardware experience would be helpful in understanding the subtleties and
cautions involved. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
Though this book seems outdated I don't know a newer one.
Author: Frank van Gilluwe;
Title: The Undocumented PC;
Publisher: Addison Wesley Developers Press;
Review by Craig Hart: There are two editions. Edition 1 has a purple
cover, edition 2 has a grey marble background photo with
brown-on-yellow text panel. Edition 2 is not much better than edition
one - only about 10 of the information has changed, although a
lot of typographical errors have been corrected. This is an excellent
book, because it not only lists the raw data
required to program something, but it has lot's of explanations,
how-to's and example programs.
Authors: Gerald Reischl / Heinz Sundt;
