Default Computer Repair Necessities

If you have been called on to fix a computer...there is a short list of things you need.

Screwdriver with many heads to fit different screws.
Anti-Static Wristband to eliminate ESD (or touching the power supply a lot will suffice)
Spare Ram of all types. This is to test to see if RAM is damaged.
Air duster- Dusting hard to reach areas
Extra Screws- Never know when something needs screwing and no screws are included wth whatever you bought.
Linux and Windows boot disks for file recovery two good ones are BART PE and Damn Small Linux.
Thermal Grease
Extra PSU to test power (only necessary if you are a pro)
Plastic Ties for wire management

This list will be updated as seen fit.
