Learn to repair your PC
January 24, 2003
CARROLLTON, GA - There is no point stressing over personal computer repairs; they are easy to make and the parts are available on several neighborhood store shelves. It’s important, however, to learn some repair basics before your PC goes down.
“Do-It-Yourself PC Repair,” an upcoming University of West Georgia continuing education class at the Newnan Center, will provide you with a computer, a tool kit and instruction on performing basic troubleshooting.
Try your hand at replacing a hard drive and adding a memory chip. At the end of six hours of hands-on demolition and reconstruction, you’ll be ready to do it on your own. The class will be helpful both for people interested in the field of technology repair and for those who would just like to gain extra knowledge about fixing their own computer if a problem should ever arise.
Taking classes at the Newnan Center offers numerous benefits. You don’t have to drive to Atlanta, fight traffic, pay to park and get lost in a large class. Just drive to the Newnan Center on two consecutive Saturdays, Feb. 1 and Feb. 8, and enjoy small classes with personal instruction from 9 a.m. to noon.
Don’t let this opportunity to save time, money and stress pass you by. Compared with computer repair shop prices, the course fee of $69 is a real value. For more information or to register, call the Department of Continuing Education at 770-836-6610.
