|
How tools help:
|
It literally takes a few minutes to set up MicroScope
on a machine to run the diagnostics and then we leave
it run. This gives us plenty of time to do other critical
jobs. We then just read the report at the end of the
diagnostics and make any necessary adjustments to the
hardware.
|
|
Tips:
|
Run it a few times constantly on systems where you
just can't seem to pinpoint a fault, as sometimes it
can be an intermittent fault, which won't show up straight
away unless you run the diagnostics repeatedly for a
few passes.

Tools used

Micro-Scope
and RemoteScope
|
|
How tools help
|
Micro-Scope helps me quickly identify hardware problems
if it's not the hardware at fault then it must be the
software!
|
|
Examples
|
From Technical Point of view the Micro-Scope Kit enables
me to quickly ascertain if a motherboard is faulty or
not (especially useful when diagnosing problems with
new systems that a manufacturer is reluctant to look
into without proof)
|
|
Tips
|
The low level format feature can help restore a hard
drive back to functionality
|
|
Other Info
|
Using RemoteScope in conjunction with my Multi-Monitor
"command & control" system enables me to securely
work on several systems in my workshop or remotely on
a customer's site, all from one seat in my office! My
productivity and work-rate enables me to command regular
work from companies and domestic users alike.

How tools help

Looks more professional to run a set of diagnostics
rather than just swapping parts and hoping for the best.
Also gives warnings of any other imminent component
failure.
|
|
Examples
|
Recently used on a clients system to find a problem
with boot up. Running the diagnostics found that the
voltages were off and there was corruption on the hard
drive. It took about 4 minutes of entering the clients
home to find the problem.
New PSU fitted and a Hard Drive repair applied and
the system was like new with no data loss.
|
|
Other Info
|
They all say "Read the manual" and that is
probably the best advice. Get to know it inside-out
and it will serve you well and save money.
