📘Easy summary
Seven steps: (1) Identify the problem — gather symptoms, ask user, note error messages (e.g., laptop doesn't turn on when power button pressed); (2) Establish a theory of probable cause — guess likely causes starting with the simplest (dead battery); (3) Test the theory — confirm or reject (plug in charger); (4) Establish a plan of action — decide the steps to fix it; (5) Implement the solution — carry out the fix (replace battery); (6) Verify full system functionality — make sure everything works and no new issue; (7) Document findings, actions and outcomes — record for future reference.
⭐Key points
- Identify → Theory → Test → Plan → Implement → Verify → Document.
