Chilton Introduces Advanced Technical Service Bulletin Database
All Chilton Online Products Now Come With Increased TSB Database Functionality
Clifton Park, NY – May 21, 2009 – Chilton, an established leader in reference sources for automotive professionals and Do-It-Yourself automotive enthusiasts and part of Cengage Learning, today announced the availability of a new Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) database available with its online products – ChiltonDIY, ChiltonPRO and ChiltonLibrary. TSB alerts, issued by automobile manufacturers, recommend procedures for repairing specific problems occurring with a vehicle. Service technicians depend on these alerts to successfully identify and repair problems with vehicles, and Chilton’s database captures and stores this information for easy access.
The new Chilton TSB database includes expanded search criteria capabilities available to customers. Database searches are now possible using several criteria, including system, symptom, diagnostic trouble code and TSB number. A keyword search also allows users to type in any word to find the information quickly.
More than 70,000 TSBs are now available for vehicles produced during the past 20 years. Unlike some competitor databases, TSBs available through the Chilton database are electronically reproduced, rather than scanned, making them easier to read. For even further clarity, the same colors used in Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) bulletins will appear in the Chilton products.
“Automotive technicians are challenged to stay on top of the latest manufacturer updates for a ever-growing number of makes and models,” said David Koontz, Publisher, Chilton. “Chilton’s TSB database helps to manage the updates with easy search options and electronically reproduced OEM bulletins that are easy to read.”
The new Chilton TSB database is available at no additional cost to new and current customers of all of Chilton’s online products, including:
• ChiltonPRO, a cost-effective, electronic repair information system for professional technicians. More information on ChiltonPRO is available at www.chiltonpro.com.
• ChiltonDIY provides quick and easy access to online repair manuals for do-it-yourselfers, and is available at www.chiltondiy.com.
• ChiltonLibrary provides online do-it-yourself repair information for library patrons. Libraries can find out more at www.gale.cengage.com/ChiltonLibrary.

Finding the best laptop for your buck
So you want a laptop but you don’t have a ton of money to throw around? Not to worry, there’s plenty of ways to find cheap laptop computers if you know where to look for them. Fortunately, laptop prices have come down a lot in recent years, so they are not as expensive as once were. It’s pretty easy to find deals on cheap laptop computers, especially if you know where to look.
Online shopping is a great way to find laptop deals. Online stores tend to offer lower prices than the big name retail stores. Finding cheap laptop computers isn’t always easy, but it is totally possible.
You can search for online sites or stores selling refurbished laptops. Refurbished laptops are cheaper because may they have a minor cosmetic flaw, have been returned by customers, or just being re-sold to the public. These stores can’t sell the laptops for regular prices, so you are the benefactor in the end. With this method you can buy cheap laptop computers that are some of the newer models.
Refurbished laptop computers are often overlooked by the willing buyer. Keep in mind, however, that just because a computer is labeled refurbished, that doesn’t mean that it is of low quality or damaged. In fact, you can actually find great deals on refurbished laptop computers. Most refurbished laptops even come with some sort of warranty, so you really have nothing to lose.
Finally, never under-estimate the power of the internet. The internet has a wealth of untapped information.
