Last month, I explained
why I use generic desktops and laptops running open source software.
They're reliable
and inexpensive. But this presumes you can fix them. I believe that
even those with no
hardware training (like me), can identify and fix most hardware
problems. To prove it, here's a quick guide. Feel free to
add whatever I've missed.

It was very useful for big screen TV and computer LCD until they broke the price cartel, now it's so cheap it doesn't worth my time anymore. Given it only work half of the time, just buy a new one. When capacitors blow up, they often fry a few IC with them.
