I missed the part where he stated he only wants to address confirmed hardware issues.

I haven’t gotten through all his videos but I’m betting that he hasn’t opened event viewer in any of them.

In a case where it doesn’t boot/no video, are troubleshooting steps that can be taken if you don’t have readily available spare parts which would be educational. For example jumpering a power supply if you don’t have multimeter, etc.

 

I can't seem to find similar opinions out there so I am feeling like this belongs more in r/aita but are does anyone have a good channel on YouTube for people who teach others how to fix PCs? Everything popping into my algorithm results are just people who guess and swap parts.

"PC won't turn on? Swap the Motherboard, CPU, Case, Power Supply, and CPU cooler (so only really keeping the SSD and RAM)!" This mentality doesn't teach newer generation of PC enthusiasts much and gives the impression that taking care of issues themselves is costly.

The "Fixing a Viewer's Broken PC" string of videos by Greg Salazar are exactly what I am talking about as not being helpful. I've never once heard him mention an Event Log or do any investigation.
