Who This Author Is

Stephen J. Bigelow writes practical, hands-on references for PC technicians and curious power users. His books condense years of troubleshooting and repair tasks into compact, usable formats—one a pocket-sized quick reference and the other an extensive, detailed manual covering maintenance, diagnostics, and component-level fixes for desktop PCs around the turn of the millennium.

Bigelow’s work emphasizes step-by-step procedures, diagnostic checklists, and clear explanations of common faults. Readers find direct guidance on repairing hardware, restoring systems, and preventing failures, with the pocket reference serving fieldwork needs and the millennium edition providing a comprehensive resource for deeper repairs and system overhauls.
