HARDWARE TOOLS
To complete hardware repairs, it is important to have a toolkit that should contain all of the necessary
tools. As you gain experience, you will learn which tools to have available for different types of jobs.
Hardware tools are grouped into these four categories:
● Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) tools
● Hand tools
● Cleaning tools
● Diagnostic tools
Flashlight
Parts Retriever
Cleaning Tools
Having the appropriate cleaning tools is essential when maintaining or repairing computers. Using these
tools ensures that computer components are not damaged during cleaning. Examples:
● Lint-free cloth – used to clean different computer components without scratching or leaving
debris
● Compressed air – used to blow away dust and debris from different computer parts without
touching the components
● Cable ties – used to bundle cables neatly inside and outside of a computer
● Parts organizer – used to hold screw, jumpers, fasteners and other small parts and prevents
them from getting mixed together
Diagnostic Tools
Computers are easier to use and more dependable with each new generation of hardware and operating
system update, but that doesn't mean they're problem-free. Here's the most popular tools for diagnosing
your computer problems:
● Multimeter – used to test the integrity of circuits and the quality of electricity in computer
components
● Loopback Adapter – used to test the functionality of computer ports .

Disassembling a Computer
Before going into the disassembly proper, you will have to prepare all the materials that you will need.
Disassembly Procedure
● Remove unnecessary accessories (ring, bracelet, necklace, watch, earnings)
● Prepare the following tools: philips screwdrivers, anti-static wrist strap and mat,.
● Place the system unit on the table.
● Put on the anti-static wrist strap.
● Remove sidecover by unscrewing the bolts.
● Unpug all the power connectors from the motherboard and other devices.
Note: Remove first the 24-pin ATX power connector, next is the 4-pin 12volts power connector,
and remove the remaining power cables.
● Remove the power supply unit. Unscrew the bolts from it and put on a box to avoid misplacing
the screw.
● Remove the CD-ROM on the drive bay, unscrew the bolts and slide it out.
● Remove the hard disk hard where it is located, unscrew the bolts and unmount it.
● Remove the motherboard by unscrewing the bolts in the standoffs. Unmount it by holding the
heatsink fan.
● Place the motherboard on the table, remove the RAM module by pulling the unlocks tabs in both
sides by pulling it down slowly. It should lock out of place and easily removed.
● Remove the heatsink fan by unplugging first the power cable placed on the motherboard,
unscrew the bolts and pull the lock slowly to remove it and access the CPU.

● Lift the metal rod next to the CPU socket that holds the CPU. Take note of the arrow that points
at the corner of thr processor to the socket. Take the CPU carefully from the socket and
immediately return once it noted it’s specifications.
Assembling a Computer
Before going into the assembly proper, you will have to prepare all the materials that you will need.
Assembly Procedure
● Prepare all the materials needed in assembling a computer (philips screwdrivers, anti-static wrist
strap and mat, brush, thermal paste, flashlight)
● Place the system unit on the table.
● Put on the anti-static wrist strap.
● Remove side cover by unscrewing the bolts.
● Before installing the CPU, check the brand specifications. After that, install the CPU.
● Clean the heatsink fan with the brush.
● Apply a small amount of thermal paste on the top of the CPU and on the heatsink fan. Align it on
the mounting tabs.
● Screw the bolts of the heatsink fan to secure it and plug the fan’s power connector to the
motherboard.
● Install the RAM module it the ram slots. Gently push the RAM from both ends until it clicks into
place at the memory slot. The tabs should lock the RAM in.
● Install the motherboard by screwing the standoffs into place. Screw accordingly and align with
the I/O bezel.
● Install the hard disk drive on the hard drive bays. Mount the HDD by sliding it into place and line
up with the screw holes. Screw them tightly.
● Install the CD-ROM on the drive bay. From the outside, slide the CD-ROM into place and line up
with screw holes. Screw then tightly.
● Install the power supply. Align the holes as you mount it. Screw them tightly.
● Connect all the cables. First, connect the 24-pin ATX power cable, then the 4-pin 12volts, the
remaining power cables and the connecting cables.
