Find Instruction Manuals for Computers, Phones, and Other Gear at SafeManuals

safemanuals.jpgCan't find the instruction manual for your BlackBerry? Your old HP LaserJet? Adobe Photoshop? Head to SafeManuals, an online repository of instructions and user guides for a whopping 900,000 products. (Okay, the actual count is 883,542, but still.)

You can browse the guide database or search for a specific brand, product, model number, etc. All manuals on the site are stored in PDF format, so you should be able to view them on any OS (and even many smartphones). If you have some user guides of your own that aren't in the directory, you can upload them and they'll be preserved for future reference (and shared with other users).

Killer! Pair SafeManuals with tech-help site FixYa (which also has user guides, but not nearly as many) and you may put an end to your tech problems once and for all. [via MakeUseOf]
