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.

A very useful book
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 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.
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.

Just starting out with tinkering and repairing (safely!) electrical gadgets and so far this guide is steering me right, thanks.
Bought as a Birthday present for an IT guy
Great descriptions on how to fix electronics of every kind imaginable. Good pictures and good instructions. My guy loved this, he wanted to learn how to refurbish video game consoles and other electronic goodies and this book definitely fits the bill.What doesn’t fit the bill is the literal bill from Bolo hitting the credit bureaus so gosh dang hard. Negative 24 points just from this purchase. I want to make 100% clear that this is NOT the seller’s fault at all, it’s Bolo’s. From now on I will be buying books from local book stores.
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.
Mein all-around-guide
Das Buch ist ein genialer Ratgeber zur Fehlersuche… Ich selbst habe vor knapp 50 Jahren mit Elektronikbasteleien und Funktechnik angefangen… Kenne mich daher ziemlich gut mit elektronischen Schaltungen, Bauteilen und Reparaturen aus… Aber das Buch ist eine tolle Zusammmenstellung die ich mir so schon immer gewünscht habe… Denn hier sind z.B die Bauteile mit ihren häufigsten Fehlerursachen beschrieben… Klar, das Buch ist in Englisch - aber für Menschen die sowieso ständig im Internet alles mögliche recherchieren stellt das wahrscheinlich kein sonderliches Problem dar… Schließlich beschränkt sich das Internet auch nicht auf die deutsche Sprache… Ich denke, das Buch ist für an Elektronik interessierte Menschen uneingeschränkt zu empfehlen - und bin echt froh, dass ein „alter Hase“ sein gesammeltes Wissen so gut zu Papier gebracht hat… Ich ziehe meinen Hut vor dem Autor…
Awesome book about general electronics
Very great book! There is everything you need to know about general electronics repair!
