Lesson 2: PROPER USE OF TOOLS
10 Minutes Lecture
A technician needs to be able to properly use each tool in the toolkit. This topic covers many of
the various hand tools used when repairing computers.
Keeping computers clean inside and out is a vital part of a maintenance program. Dirt can cause problems with
the physical operation of fans, buttons, and other mechanical components. On electrical components, an
excessive buildup of dust will act like an insulator and trap the heat. This insulation will impair the ability of
heat sinks and cooling fans to keep components cool, causing chips and circuits to overheat and fail.

1. Proper Use of ESD Tools

The purpose of an antistatic wrist strap is to equalize the electrical


charge between you and the equipment. The antistatic wrist strap is a
conductor that connects your body to the equipment that you are working
on. When static electricity builds up in your body, the connection made by
the wrist strap to the equipment, or ground, channels the electricity through
the wire that connects the strap.
2. CRT Screens

To clean the screens of CRT monitors, dampen a soft, clean, lint-free


cloth with distilled water and wipe the screen from top to bottom. Then use
a soft, dry cloth to wipe the screen and remove any streaking after you have
cleaned the monitor.

Activity 2:

Lesson 1: Select components to be measured


10 Minutes Lecture

MEMORY

Although memory is technically any form of electronic storage, it


is used most often to identify fast, temporary forms of storage. If your
computer's CPU had to constantly access the hard drive to retrieve every
piece of data it needs, it would operate very slowly. When the information
is kept in memory, the CPU can access it much more quickly. Most forms
of memory are intended to store data temporarily.

STORAGE DRIVES

Storage drives read or write information on magnetic or optical storage


media. The drive can be used to store data permanently or to retrieve information
from a media disk. Storage drives can be installed inside the computer case, such as a
hard drive. For portability, some storage drives can connect to the computer using a
USB port, a FireWire port, or an SCSI port. These portable storage drives are
sometimes referred to as removable drives and can be used on multiple computers.
Here are some common types of storage drives: Floppy drive, Hard drive, Optical drive
and Flash drive.

data needed particularly the Arithmetic and Logic Unit. E. Flash drive

__________5. Technology that doubles the maximum bandwidth of SDRAM. F. Memory module

Lesson 2: Carry out mensuration and calculation


10 Minutes Lecture
DIGITAL REPRESENTATION

Within a computer, information is represented and stored in a digital binary format. The term bit is an
abbreviation of binary digit and represents the smallest piece of data. Humans interpret words and pictures;
computers interpret only patterns of bits.
A bit can have only two possible values, a one digit (1) or a zero digit (0). A bit can be used to represent
the state of something that has two states. For example, a light switch can be either On or Off; in binary
representation, these states would correspond to 1 and 0, respectively.

kilobyte 1,024 bytes

Lesson 1: Identify different kinds of technical drawing


10 Minutes Lecture

A flowchart is a diagram that uses graphic symbols to depict the nature and flow of the steps in a
process. Another name for this tool is "flow diagram."

What Are the Elements of a Flowchart?

1. Terminator - A terminator is represented by a small rectangle with curved corners. A terminator appears at the start
and at the end of a flowchart. The end terminator appears only once on a single flowchart.

2. Process - A process is represented by a rectangle. It refers to an action in a business process. It must be described
clearly and concisely. A process can be described using a single verbnoun phrase; for example, "Order Office Supplies."
The same level of detail must be kept in processes on a single flowchart.

3. Sub-process - A sub-process is represented by a rectangle with double lines on each side. A sub- process is a major
process that could be broken up into simpler processes developed into another flowchart.

4. Decision - A decision is represented by a diamond. A process that can answer a decision of "yes" or "no" requires a
decision box.

5. Connector - A connector is represented by a small circle or a connector box and is labeled using letters. A flowchart
written on a single page is clearer than a flowchart on several pages. A connector ensures that the processes are
connected logically and correctly on several pages.

6. Arrow Lines - Arrow lines drawn in one direction, preferably from top to bottom, keep a flowchart clear. Avoid arrow
lines that loop because this could indicate redundancy in the business process.

Lesson 1:
10 Minutes Lecture
Occupational safety and health (OSH) is a planned system of working to prevent illness and
injury where you work by recognizing and identifying hazards and risks. Health and safety procedure is the
responsibility of all persons in the computer and technology industries. You must identify the hazards where
you are working and decide how dangerous they are. Eliminate the hazard or modify the risk that it presents.
This Module is intended to give you some guidelines and advice on common areas of health and safety
problems in the computer industry and to help you gain a general awareness of your responsibilities as user
and technician in a safe environment.

There are three steps used to manage health and safety at work:
1. Spot the Hazard (Hazard Identification)
2. Assess the Risk (Risk Assessment)
3. Make the Changes (Risk Control)
Activity 1
A. Direction: Read carefully each statement below. Place T on the line if the statement is TRUE. Place F if the
statement is FALSE.
_____ 1. Health and safety procedure is the responsibility of all persons in the computer and technology
industries.
______ 2. Spotting the hazards means working out how likely it is that a hazard will harm someone and how
serious the harm could be.
______ 3. If you need to temporarily run a cable across the floor, place a Danger sign similar to those "wet
floor" signs used by cleaning services.
______ 4. An LCD monitor has a high-voltage anode inside it, which can carry a charge of up to 25,000 volts,
and it can still be holding a high charge day after the power is removed.

Lesson 2:
10 Minutes Lecture
You work with documents, presentations, graphics, and other files all day—and chances are, you have a lot of
them. And that means it takes time to find the documents you need. Even if it is just a couple of minutes here, and a
couple of minutes there, it all adds up.

But there is a better way to stop the file clutter—by managing your files more effectively. Digital files are no different
than paper files.

 1. Seiri Sorting/Putting things in order (Remove/discard what is not needed so that there are fewer hazards and
less clutter to interfere with work. Only keep what is needed.)

 2. Seiton Orderliness/Proper Arrangement (Place things in such a way that they can be easily reached whenever
they are needed. "There must be a place for everything, and everything must be in its place.") and if you don't
have a good method of organization, things get lost.

 3. Seiso Clean/cleanliness. (Keep workplace and things clean and polished; no trash or dirt in the workplace)

 4. Seiketsu Standardize/Purity (Maintain cleanliness after cleaning, consistently- perpetual cleaning. Such
cleaning is part of every one's work.)

 5. Shitsuke Sustaining/discipline/commitment (Maintain standards and keep the facility in safe and efficient
order day after day, year after year.)
