I may have a tablet PC coming in for repair soon. &nbsp;I have worked on many laptop and you know they are difficult enough. &nbsp;I have my A+ and am pretty handy. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
What are some traps in trying to repair a tablet in comparison to a laptop? &nbsp;Is the XP Tablet Edition of Windows much different from normal XP. &nbsp;Do I get into BIOS, device manager and safe mode in the same way, for example?<br />
<br />
Do I need the 'pen' thing that came with it? Is the pen thingy going to be attached? &nbsp;How I long for COBOL.<br />
<br />
The customer doesn't care that the machine may still be in warranty and she is impatient so is bringing it to me. (scarry)<br />

I've only seen them in pictures.

Tablet PC - Where do I start on this repair

Microsoft hardware includes mice, keyboards, webcams, headsets, display adapters, gaming consoles (including the Xbox One) and the Microsoft Surface family of tablets

Microsoft Hardware

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.

Laptops Notebooks

A tablet computer is a mobile computer with a touchscreen display, circuitry, and battery in a single device. Tablets come equipped with sensors, including cameras, a microphone, and an accelerometer, and the touchscreen display uses the recognition of finger or stylus gestures replacing the usage of the mouse and keyboard. They usually feature on-screen, pop-up virtual keyboards for typing. Tablets may include physical buttons for basic features such as speaker volume and power, and ports for network communications and battery charging. Tablets are typically larger than smartphones or personal digital assistants.

COBOL (Common Business-Oriented Language) is a programming language with English-like syntax. It is readable but verbose compared to other programming languages. CODASYL (Conference on Data Systems Languages) created COBOL in 1959 based on design work from Grace Hopper. It was standardized in 1968. COBOL is still present in large-scale batch processing and transaction processing where legacy applications are being used, usually in government, financial, and administrative systems.
