and Assembly
In simple words, troubleshooting skills are the
problem solving abilities of a person. It requires a system of thoughts and actions. Ideal troubleshooting skills
mean you begin with gathering maximum information to define the actual problem, and provide the best possible
solution by generating and evaluating all possible solutions.

To troubleshoot is solving a problem or determining a problem to an issue. Troubleshooting often involves

the process of elimination, where a technician follows a set of steps to determine the problem or resolve the
problem. he basics of troubleshooting a computer problem. Anyone can follow these steps to help identify or
solve most computer problems. Example:
Is the computer turning on? If the computer or display is not turning on, you can quickly determine
that the computer has a connection or other hardware issue. You need to find the steps in troubleshooting
these problems. If you're getting any error messages, write down the error and search for that error
message. If the computer is acting strange, frozen, or encountering errors and can boot, reboot the
computer. Often rebooting the computer can solve many computer issues. What this examples implies?
This only implies that the ability to adopt a systematic approach towards identifying and then solving a
problem. In simple words, troubleshooting skills are the problem solving abilities of a person.

 Communication skills and Critical Thinking
