LAPTOP CHIPLEVEL
Computer runs with three main concepts.
34

1. Post: power on self test.
2. Bios: basic input out put system.
3. Os: operating system.
Post: it will be check each and every component is connected properly .if connected then all
are working or not. Small beep sounds when post completed successfully.
Bios: 1.flat bios
2. Square bios
3.8 pin bios
Uses & requirements of bios:
1. Reorganization of hard disc, DVD, Cd, floppy drive, CPU and primary memory ram.
2. Booting priority purpose; booting is a process of transferring bootable files from secondary
memory (HD, DVD to primary memory (ram).
3. Security purpose.
Bootstrap founder is located in bios is used for searching the bootable files if bootable files
are found in DVD then it will goes to DVD (rom /ram)or if bootable files are found in
c:/>drive then it will goes to HD(hard disc) .
Security priority: security password restricts change in bios & os
Entering bios steps:
Manufactures of bios: 1.award max 8 opt 2.ami 3.pheonix 4.uni boar 8 opt
Enter bios setup:
1. Setup & always
2. Set supervisor password
3. Enter& then confirm password (twice need to enter password)
4. Select advanced option
5. Security priority setup
6. Always/system
7. F10 saves & exit.
Password forgot: to reset nil password remove cmos-battery start system (computer)-
then fix battery if not solved then reverse the polarity(+ -) of battery start then shutdown fix
battery with correct polarity by this it should be done about reset to no password .
Os types:
1. Computer user interface (cui)
Use: UNIX, dos
2. Graphical user interface (GUI)
Use: windows, vista

COIL OR INDUCTOR L:
Unit of measure: Henry henneries
A coil used to introduce inductance into a circuit is called inductor.

INDUCTANCE: opposition to the flow of ac or changing dc caused by magnetic fields
surrounding the conductor.
When current (I) flows in a conductor, magnetic fields 9lines of flux),radiate out & encircle it
energy in magnetic field generates a voltage in any conductor they more cross.

Back to inductor:

Conductor current flows
1.it generates the voltage
2.it also generates EMF
Transformert:

Primary
Coil secondary coil
Conductor

1. It transfers the voltage from one coil to the other coil
2. It also generates emf.
Transformer types:
1. Step-up lot line output transformer

More numbers of coils at secondary compary to primary.
230 v above 1K
Use: crt (cathode ray tube) monitor or TV
Purpose: it increases the voltage.
2. Step down transformer

Less number of coils at secondary compare to
primary.
230 below 110v dc
42

Use: smps battery adaptor
Purpose: it decreases the voltage.
3. Driver transformer:

COIL OR INDUCTOR L:
Unit of measure: Henry henneries
A coil used to introduce inductance into a circuit is called inductor.

INDUCTANCE: opposition to the flow of ac or changing dc caused by magnetic fields
surrounding the conductor.
When current (I) flows in a conductor, magnetic fields 9lines of flux),radiate out & encircle it
energy in magnetic field generates a voltage in any conductor they more cross.

95

Back to inductor:

Emf electro magnetic field

Coil
Conductor current flows
1.it generates the voltage
2.it also generates EMF
Transformert:
EMF

Primary
Coil secondary coil
Conductor

1. It transfers the voltage from one coil to the other coil
2. It also generates emf.
Transformer types:
1. Step-up lot line output transformer

More numbers of coils at secondary compary to primary.
230 v above 1K
Use: crt (cathode ray tube) monitor or TV
Purpose: it increases the voltage.
2. Step down transformer

Less number of coils at secondary compare to
primary.
230 below 110v dc
96

Use: smps battery adaptor
Purpose: it decreases the voltage.
3. Driver transformer:

230v 230v

Use: Stabilizer, ups
Purpose: to keep the voltage constant.
