About the Author
Michael Jay Geier has been an electronics technician, designer and inventor since age 6. He took apart everything he could get his hands on, and soon discovered that learning to put it back together was even more fun. By age 8, he operated a neighborhood electronics repair service that was profiled in The Miami News. He went on to work in numerous service centers in Miami, Boston and Seattle, frequently serving as the “tough dog” tech who solved the cases other techs couldn’t. At the same time, Michael was a pioneer in the field of augmentative communications systems, helping a noted Boston clinic develop computer speech systems for children with cerebral palsy. He also invented and sold an amateur radio device while writing and marketing software in the early years of personal computing.
Michael holds an FCC Extra-class amateur radio license. His involvement in ham radio led to his writing career, first with articles for ham radio magazines, and then with general technology features in Electronic Engineering Times, Desktop Engineering, IEEE Spectrum, and The Envisioneering Newsletter. His work on digital rights management has been cited in several patents. Michael earned a Boston Conservatory of Music degree in composition, was trained as a conductor, and is an accomplished classical, jazz and pop pianist, and a published songwriter. Along with building and repairing electronic circuitry, he enjoys table tennis, restoring antique mopeds, ice skating, bicycling, and banging out a jazz tune on his harpsichord.

5.0 out of 5 stars I like the author's style
Really insightful and very easy to read. Great story telling from the author that really helps to set the pace and tone, helping the topics sink in without having to go back over old ground, as with a lot of text books.A great section on tools to acquire and tips on how to use them throughout. Really liked the nod to the magic smoke - if you let it escape, you can rest assured the device is not likely to work afterwards.
4.0 out of 5 stars Very helpfull
Being an amateur electronics hobbyist for several years I am looking for books that can give advanced tips of how to fix "things". This is an art in itself as it require great knowledge and experience in the field. Also, because "things" today are different from older electronics - there is so much more digital components, SMD-soldered parts and complicated PCBs -it can be difficult to give advice that last without being too general.The book is written by an experienced old hand that know his solder and it really brings a lot of good advice, combined with nice close-up photos. I like that the author explains some cases that was complex to solve - and I would want more of such histories, as they sometimes are better to get the point through. I would have wanted some more tips on repairing or modifying modern electronic music equipment, as this is where I am now (modding older synths).But all in all, the book is recommendable.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great basic foundations of electronics.
The book does itself a disservice by calling itself a repair book, it tells you all the basics about the usual electronic components and the tools you need. This book is a great first step into learning about electronics in general - not just for repair jobs.
5.0 out of 5 stars A very useful book
A very useful book
5.0 out of 5 stars Great book
Great read if you're interested in electronics. Starts by going through tools required (with quite a lot of emphasis on oscilloscopes), covers basic schematic usage, block diagrams, then does a section on typical issues in various types of equipment. This book has been updated and now mentions SSD's and memory based recorders. It doesn't suggest you try to fix these, but it deals with the analogue side of these circuits (which is typically where the problems occur) and how to trace them. I enjoyed it.
4.0 out of 5 stars That someone has a good maner of
This is used has a preview of compouniances
5.0 out of 5 stars perfect very handy!
i knew the basics of electrics and electronics before i read this book, am halfway through and have learnt a fair bit, mostly common sense but also helpful information on tools, what to buy, and more importantly, how to use the gear, i have most of it lying around anyway, an in depth on oscilloscopes, components, a glossary, humour, fairly easy to understand book, and humorous at times as well.unfortunatley not a very long topic on transformers, i already know how they work, i want to know how to diagnose a dodgy one! anyway i guess its off to youtube again...(said the idiot)
Advice from a great consumer electronics tech who can explain electronic troubleshooting really well
(function(){ P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function'){ A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })() This is an excellent book, and I am glad I bought a physical copy. I am a long-time electronics hobbyist, and many of the things in this book were not new to me, but the explanations and folksy (in a good way) descriptions made them so much clearer, even for things I mostly understood. The advice in this book is simplistic without being simplified so much that it doesn't teach, which is just right. Yes, there is an assumption you know some basic electronics terms, so it is not a book for the person starting from zero. Frankly, if you don't have the electronics experience to have gained the vocabulary necessary to get value from this book, those warning labels about "no user serviceable parts inside" are for you. For the right audience, this book and the advice was a bargain for the price, and it is a keeper.
Always great to learn and have reference books on hand
I am a big fan of information and having stock of different tops when it comes to fixing everything and anything. I enjoyed the content and layout of everything in this and is on my shelf of knowledge for future reading and reference.
Ler do começo ao fim é importante. Não é para completos novatos. Assista alguns vídeos antes.
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.
Very good knowledge for electronic repair
Perfect the different sections. Historical explanations like electrolytic capacitor scandal is very interesting. Informations such as how many complex electronics schematics are noted for components like U5000 and then all associated components with same numbers C5001, R5002 and so on are spot on. Can only recommend buying this book even for people which work in the electronics business and went to school/university it still covers many intersting aspects which are particularly useful for electronics repair.
Awesome book about general electronics
Very great book! There is everything you need to know about general electronics repair!
