 What’s New

This module includes some of the tools and standard procedures you
have learned from the previous lessons which will be used in various testing
methods on electronic components.

This module also introduces digital testing tools and advance methods
that can do the testing job efficiently and effectively to meet the specification
and technical requirements of an electronic component to satisfy the job
orders from the clients.

The Tools
Based on the older practices and references, Voltmeters and Multi-
meters were used to test power output on computer power supplies. Testing
was done terminal to terminal and point to point of the circuit or component.
(refer to the photos below)
Figure 1. Testing on an ATX PIN individually Figure 2. Individual reading

https://www.youtube.com (Screenshot) https://acidx.net/wordpress

But now, advance tools are being used to make the work easier and
faster. For example, you can test multiple PINS of a power supply
simultaneously to get multiple results right away. (refer to the photos below)
Figure 3. Simultaneous Testing Figure 4. Multiple reading

The Methods
A few years back, technicians were using the BEEP ANALYZING
method in determining computer motherboard faults and problems.
Motherboard problems and fault have a corresponding beep code. Beep
codes vary from manufacturer of motherboards and version of BIOS. Refer to
the table below for AMI BIOSs.

 Table 1. The Beep Code Table

As the technology advances, PC Analyzers or Diagnostic Cards, and

other digital tools are being used to diagnose faults and problems on
electronic components because manufacturers and industries found out that
some methods will fail in some cases.

For instance, the Beep Analyzing method, as mentioned above, will

fail when the on board speaker or buzzer of a motherboard is dead because
the test personnel cannot hear a beeping sound anymore. So, instead of
counting the beeps, PC Analyzers display digits or codes to signify faults and
problems, and these codes are being referred to as an error code table or lists
provided and specified by the manufacturer of the testing tool. (see photos
and table below)

Table 2. The Error Code Table

 The reading above in figure 5 displays a code. The user manual of the
diagnostic card has a list of codes, as shown in Table 2, with the
corresponding error that is different for every version of Interface software or
BIOS version.
These diagnostic tools come in various types. They are evolving from
the PCI type in figure 5 to the newer USB type in figure 6. These types are
developed to satisfy the needs of the users depending on the situation. For
example, a newer model of computers does not support PCI devices anymore,
or older computers do not have a USB port. Some manufacturers even
develop the combination type for more testing flexibility such as the testing tool
below.

 Lesson
The Criteria for Testing
1
What is It

Testing Electronic Components (TEC)

Testing refers to the methods and procedures of determining the
signals and responses from an electronic component. This is done to ensure
the quality, performance, and serviceability of the components. All testing
process must follow criteria. These criteria are needed before making the plan.

Obtaining the Job Order

A job order is a form containing specifications of a task to do. This
usually includes instructions, date, and time to execute the order, address or
location of the worksite, the name of the client and his contacts, and the name
of the technician. Either you’re a test personnel in an industry or a technician
in a shop, testing always uses the job order or the client requirements as the
guide. Below is a sample of a job order form.

Form 1. A job order

9
 If you are working in a manufacturing industry of electronics
components, the responsible personnel or the supervisor in your technical
department gives you the work instructions in a form of job orders to specify the
task to do.
On the other hand, testing on repair shops sometimes refers to job
orders given by the clients or customers. It is the client who gives the job, but
most of the time, technicians already know what to do if the shop is already
following standardized procedures.

Communicating or Reporting the Desired Method to Use.

The desired method that you are going to use must be reported or
communicated to the responsible person or the supervisors for verification and
approval, to ensure an efficient workflow and the success of the test.
Therefore, if you will be planning to do something, report it first to the
responsible personnel.

Using the Appropriate Method

When a method and tools are approved for testing, it is considered the
most appropriate method and tools to use. The selection of the methods and
tools is usually based on the component’s specification and manufacturer’s
instructions. This is a standard practice among industries, which aims to
produce quality services, efficient workflow, effective tools, and safe working
environments.

Recording the Test Process

The testing does not only require complying with the job order,
consulting to the responsible personnel, selecting the efficient method, or
preparing effective tools. It also requires recording the test process for
evaluation purposes. The technician must be able to determine at which point
must he record and document the test process for an accurate data gathering.

Activity 2. The Job Order

Directions: Analyze the situation carefully. Create a sample job order on a
separate bond-paper with A4 size. This will be compiled with your
portfolio.

Assume you are the responsible personnel or the customer service

representative of a manufacturing company or a repair shop, and there comes
a customer (a client) who claims a warranty or needs a repair service of his
desktop which does not turn ON and keeps on beeping continuously. After an
interview with the client, you were able to record the details as follow:

The name of the customer is Mr. Rowel Avila. He lives in Poblacion,

Bonifacio, but the defective unit is in his office at Bonifacio NHS, Liloan,
Bonifacio, Mis. Occ. Mr. Avila’s number is 0997-607-0691, but he is too busy
to attend with the repair service, so he instructed one of his staff named Arlyn
Besana to assist the technician. The staff can be reached at 0910-177-3320.
These are the only details you got.

Create a job order for Mr. Avila, so the technician will know the details
or specifics of the job. (Refer to the example of the job order form on page 14,
Form 1).

Lesson
The Plan for Testing
2
What is It

Planning is a must before any action. Without a plan, a test process will fail
or will not meet the job order or client requirements.

What Tools to Use?

Always choose the right tools that will give you accurate results in a
lesser time. Thus, safety comes first. Always remember to check the selected
tools for functionality and serviceability conditions. You also need Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE). Always be mindful of the things that bring
hazards to your health.

When to Start Testing?

After obtaining the job order or client requirements, you need to
determine the methods to use, the tools needed, and the amount of time to
finish the job. If everything is ready and set, then it is time to start the job.
Below is an example of a test plan.

 Lesson
Testing the Components
3
What is It

There are four (4) basic testing methods done in manufacturing

industries and repair shops of computer electronic components. Each method
can be done in various procedures depending on the specific task and tools
used. These are:

1. Continuity Test –is the act of testing to validate if two points or

terminals are connected electrically to assure a continuous flow of
signal or electrical current. When a capacitor does not work, it could
have been busted and broken.
This test is usually done with the use of a MULTITESTER.
Each probe of the tester is positioned on each terminal of the
capacitor to detect a response. If there is no response, then it is
confirmed that the capacitor is dead. Refer to the picture below:
Figure 7. Testing the Capacitor

https://electrical-engineering-portal.com
2. Voltage or Current Test –is a method used to detect losses or
increase in voltage. If a power supply is expected to give a 12 volts output, it
should give the right amount of voltage. Higher or lower than specified is
considered defective.
This test is usually done with the use of a MULTITESTER or a POWER
SUPPLY TESTER. Refer to the photos on page 6 for a picture of the voltage
testing process.

3. Performance Test – this is done to validate if the electronic component

performs as specified by the manufacturer. For example, if a processor is
intended to run with a HYPERTHREADING capabilities, then it should work
as expected.
This test is usually done with the use of software and utilities. An
example of this is the software called “Performance Test”. You can run this
software directly from a USB storage. This software is capable of testing
various hardware performances. Just select the desired test on the menu on
the left, then click run to start the test. The tool looks like this:

Types of Test
The Run Button
Figure 7. Testing
the Capacitor

https://www.passmark.com/products/performancetest/download.php

4. Diagnostic Test – is done to detect faults and problems. For example, if a

computer keeps on beeping at startup, then there should be a fault or
problem with the peripheral components or the motherboard itself.
 This test is usually done with the use of a Diagnostic Card or PC
ANALYZER. Refer to the photos on page 10 for a picture of the diagnostic
testing process.
Overall, if the component is functioning well and performing as
specified by the manufacturer, then it is considered a quality product or
serviceable product.

Evaluating the Test Process
4
What is It

Evaluating the test process is important because it will determine the

success of similar future tests. It is done to determine the quality of the test
procedures. It also determines the performance of the test personnel and his
technical needs.

To evaluate the test process, you must be able to answer the following
questions:

What did you do?

Your methods and procedure should simply match with the job order.

Why did you do it?

Your methods and tools must be aligned with the standardized procedures or
manufacturer’s instructions.

What did you find?

The testing process must produce the desired result as planned.

What did you communicate?

Always make a record, and report your findings to responsible personnel or to
the clients.

What was the overall status of the test itself?

Always remember, the goal of the test is to comply with the job order or satisfy
the clients’ requirements.
