+Warwagon MVC Posted October 13, 2016 MVC Share Posted October 13, 2016 I created this computer hookup cheat sheet for some of my customers that find hooking a computer backup a challenge. So if you do computer repair and want / need a guide to give to people who have to take their computer home and hook it back up, enjoy! The PDF is at the link below https://www.dropbox.com/s/pxmx1zrn9r5vupa/Computer hookup.pdf?dl=0 KingCracker, DConnell and Danielx64 3 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1311256-the-computer-hookup-cheat-sheet-i-made-for-my-customers/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
T3X4S Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Only thing I would suggest, and it is a minor quibble - very minor. Due to this only being used by the absolute layman Maybe for the VGA & DVI & HDMI & DP ( have to consider the newer computers) Is instead of having it read MONITOR / VGA or MONITOR / DVI Change it to MONITOR (VGA) and MONITOR (DVI) It wont really help them with connecting, but it might help them in using the correct terms. For instance - a / makes one think either/or - so in this case it says monitor or VGA As opposed to monitor (more specifically VGA, ie is a type of monitor) as the parentheses show clarification, not choice. Like I said, a minor insignificant thing, but if it were me, I would use () as opposed to / Other than that - I think its clear and concise. Are you going to make them in colored handouts @ the POS ? devHead 1 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1311256-the-computer-hookup-cheat-sheet-i-made-for-my-customers/#findComment-597626408 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to make colored handouts, but I just have a black and white laserjet. But I think it still helps, regardless if it's in color or not.

But I think it still helps, regardless if it's in color or not. I created this back in March 2016 Since the items in the back are color-coded - it would be helpful. But at some point - if they cant figure it out with this aid, one has to wonder how they get out of bed in the morning without hurting themselves.

Solid Knight Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Handed this out at work. Some people couldn't follow it. I think you might need to specify the relative orientation of the plug. I am happy to report that everyone figured out the power cord though. +Warwagon 1 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1311256-the-computer-hookup-cheat-sheet-i-made-for-my-customers/#findComment-597635212 Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimefighter Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Why are PS/2 connectors included? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1311256-the-computer-hookup-cheat-sheet-i-made-for-my-customers/#findComment-597635274 Share on other sites More sharing options...
