ON THE SHELF (continued from p. 96)
crucial warning to always unplug any
device before you work on it, this book
provides helpful tips for disassembly
and reassembly, along with how to
check fuses and components, test batteries and heating elements, and scavenge for parts.

The final chapter provides simple
instructions for using a multimeter
and briefly introduces the oscilloscope.
Overall, Hacking Electronics is accessible, clear, and helpful. Therefore, roll
up your sleeves and just do it!
