In the video I decided to watch was over an gaming computer. In this video it showed him
carefully taking the computer cords out the monitor. (How to take apart computer parts and
put them back together). I could spot any errors when disassemble the computer monitor.
One thing I did notice is that he didn't power on the computer device. So I can't say if is craft
was successful. Another YouTube video I watch was ( How to un-build a computer). In this
video he explained how to carefully take apart a computer. One thing he explain was the
tower could damage the mother board if not handle with care. One video that I watch had a
very good camera angle helping better to see how take apart a dell monitor. For disassemble
a computer it needs to isolate it means first unplug it. Remove all wires and cables like
power cable, keyboard, mouse, modem, USB etc. so cabinet should be stand alone and ready
to dissemble. Unscrew the cabinet and remove the outer side panels.Once cabinet opens
remove the CPU fan which reside on top of processor for heat sink. Fan has power supply
from motherboard and need to remove it first. Power supply has maximum wired section
with other components. So unplug every wire connected to the power supply. Like hard
drive power cable, CD/DVD power cable etc. and then unscrew the power buttons holding
the cabinet.Now time to remove the hard drive, hard drive fic with cabinet using screw. So,
unscrew the hard drive and pull down the table so it can easily remove from the tab.Now
start removing the Ram from motherboard, RAM has 4 slots or 2 slots. To remove press
down the tabs which holding ram in position from both sides.To remove motherboard, first
remove screws holding connectivity center which having single screw. For motherboard, it
has several screws holding it exact 7. The video that I have selected shows a technician
dismantling an HP Notebook 15 laptop. There are a few mistakes that he has made that in
the teardown or reassembly process. Firstly, while dismantling the laptop, he did not use the
names of the parts that he was removing. This could be quite confusing for a person who is
new to dismantling an electric system like a laptop. Such a dismantling approach by him
would reduce the insight for a viewer on what he was doing exactly (Hp Notebook 15 laptop
disassembly, take apart, teardown tutorial, 2020).
The second mistake that the technician did during the laptop dismantling tutorial video was
the rough handling of some of the parts. While removing the underlying parts of the
electronic system, he could have been more cautious (Hp Notebook 15 laptop disassembly,
take apart, teardown tutorial, 2020). If a person who is new to dismantling a laptop would
handle the system in such a rough manner, there are chances of damage or other technical
issues. Thus there are a few issues that he could have taken care of during the laptop
dismantling process. Nevertheless, the video would be more helpful for a person who has
prior knowledge of laptop dismantling. It seemed like reassembling the parts to form a
laptop would be a more challenging thing to do. In the video I watched, other than the
person not knowing the power connectors for the HDD and that the thermal paste is put on
the processor to assist the heat sink in dissipating heat inside the machine. I was expecting to
see an issue of the ESD band not being used and was rather surprised he lead with it being
used, although it should have been attached to the case of the PC he was working on and not
the dry erase board he attached it to. In the video that I watched I didn't see any obvious and
glaring mistakes that the tech made with the deconstruction or reconstruction of the
computer. I'm going to rewatch the video several times to see if maybe I just didn't see the
faults and then I will update this response. On this video that i came about, the technician
seem to have little knowledge of what he was doing. He did somewhat of a great job
explaining how to disassemble a computer and assembling it back together. I like the idea of
how he first put on his ESD strap. Always wearing an ESD strap is important while working
on a computer, because it could cause an electric shock to your body and may cause more
damage. I may not know much but i do know that he made a mistake by touching the cords
with his fingers and also not placing the screws he took out in a designated area.
At the beginning of the video he barely knew the names of the cords he was taking out. He
wasn't able to explained clearly what he was taking out and doing, because he didn't know
much about their names. He did a pretty good job dissembling the computer but could've
taking more proper care handling the mother board. He should've use a magnetic screw
driver, it helps keeps the screws together. In the video that I watched on the entire process of
taking apart a desktop computer, the technician made a couple mistakes that I could easily
point out. However there were also some other concerns that I had as well. So the first
mistake that I saw is when he unscrewed the "black box", he never actually put the screws in
a certain designated area and he also never avoided touching the cards with his fingers. I'm
not really sure what kind of computer he dissembled, but he wasn't very careful about it. I
don't know if I would want him working on my computer if I had something wrong that
needed fixed. The video watched for dissembling dell inspiron small was quite interesting
but while dissembling the PC technician made few mistakes as follows.
Screw kept in order:
While dissembling technician start removing the screw but in video, he did not keep them in
order or together. Sometimes while removing things we forget to know which screw was at
which position.
Power supply
Technician kept power supply at the end to remove but to remove all other parts of the
motherboard must remove the power supply. As power supply all wires are connected from
power supply to other parts.
RAM:RAM is assembled in slot and has nob to remove also it shows same from both end
and for new peoples it is hard to know the difference which side goes to which
ways.Processor unit: Processor is main part of the motherboard and need extra care to
remove it. Initially processor have little glue applied on processors back to hold the
processor properly. While removing processor technician did not mentioned anything about
it. In this video I think he did a great job explaining everything, and putting the computer
back together in a fast paced manner. I loved how the first thing he did was put his ESD
strap on. Not wearing an ESD strap could cause a shock to your body and may even cause
fatality. When building a computer and taking it apart wearing an ESD strap should be the
first thing you do.
Although I really did enjoy this video, there were some minor mistakes he's made. One of
them was not knowing the name of the cords at the beginning of the video. When building a
computer, it's always important to know each cord you're dealing with and each port you'll
need to use for the specific cord.
Another mistake he made was not using a magnetic screw driver. This may be minor and not
needed, but in my opinion it will help you to not drop and lose screws so easily.
Another small mistake he made was not handling the mother board with proper care.
In the video that i came across, the gentlemen that pieced together the computer did an okay
job. They made sure that everything was compatible and fit properly. They took most of the
precautionary steps to make sure that nothing bad happened. In the video, they did not use
an anti-static clamp to ensure that there was not an accident. It is easy to overlook or forget
to put on, but it is better to be safe rather than sorry. The second mistake that I noticed in the
video was the amount of thermal paste that was put on may have been just a little too much.
It is important to not put too much thermal paste on or it could overflow into the CPU
socket. If you look closely in the video there is a little bit of overflow on the edges, but
nothing major. They did everything else perfectly fine, from installing the SSD to the GPU.
I didn’t realize how many of these’s take apart and put back together videos . I’ve been
going through couple of these online. So I just randomly just choose one out of the bunch.
Because there is far to many of them online. So this is the video that I chose
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jauZNI_3AO4.The technician seem like he was pretty
knowledgeable. But I noticed certain things at the beginning the video. One of the things
from the very start of the video was the set up. He really wasn’t that organize from the start.
Of course he had something to open up the computer. But ,the whole set up of everything
was just not right.Being that it is in tutorial video on how to open and put back together. Do
you want to make sure that you have the necessary tools and proper set up. The next thing I
saw as he opened the computer. He suggested the viewers to rub their hands on something.
In his case,He rubbed his hands off the top that he took off the computer.This is to avoid is
to electrostatic discharge. The video had the perfect angle of the whole taking apart and
putting back together process. The only downfall about the video was that they were not
talking during the video. It would have been really helpful if they were explaining the detail
of each part as they took it apart. So that motivated me to find another video. In the second
video I came across, the process was clear. They were describing the parts as they were
removed. The only let down was that they did not put it back together, which was okay since
in the first video I saw them put it back together. After watching both videos, I had no idea
how many different components a computer had. While this is all new to me, I look forward
to all this class has to offer me. I just hope to be able to keep up. This is an ever growing
field and is always changing, that is what I look forward to. Two mistakes made by the
technician that i noticed immediately was he was not naming the parts as he removed them
and did mention what tool he was using. I think the technician could have been way more
gentle with the inside of the notebook, he seemed be to be tugging and vastly removing
things. If i were making a disassembly video i would want to show where every item was
placed when taking it off, naming the parts, just give a little more insight on what your
actually doing. I chose the video for a hp Notebook 15 because i have used one before and
really liked the computer and apps it had. But overall disassembling a lab top seems easy, its
seems like the putting it back together part would be very difficult. I would definitely have
to be super organized when taking one apart, Just so i could easily know what goes where.
The technician definitely needed to take notes. In this video I found a couple things right out
of the gate. He wasn't using anything to protect the components from static. Static is
something that needs to be prevented because it can cause a lot of damage to the computer
components from something like walking on carpet. These can be remedied by using plastic
static protection bags. Another thing that I noticed was the lack of organization he did not
use labels or trays for small parts like screws. Labeling will also help you reassemble the
computer, taking pictures as you go can help you backtrack what you have done. The
biggest issue I was noticing is the way he was handling the components. He was kind of
bumping them into other parts which can cause a lot of damage to both of them. The way he
handled the CPU was a bit scary, when you dont line up the CPU pins correctly or if you
have them in the wrong spot, when you latch it down the CPU pins will bend making it
unusable and voiding the warranty. The video that I chose is from 2016 and shows the
disassembly of an HP Notebook. The first thing that I noticed is that the technician isn’t
wearing an Electrostatic discharge (ESD) bracelet. By not having an ESD bracelet the
technician runs the risk of shorting out any of the components. I also don’t think that the
surface he is using to disassemble the laptop on is an anti-static surface as well. One of the
first things that I read in the textbook was the importance of preparing your work area as this
will ensure a successful outcome. I also noticed other things that the technician should be
doing, but were not shown, such as not making notes and not making sure all of the parts are
in a safe place. Taking notes will help in case you run into a problem and have to go back to
troubleshoot. Having clear notes will make that a lot easier, especially for newer technicians.
It’s also important to keep all of your parts together so that you don’t lose them because you
may not have the same part available to replace it. This is the video i chose, it is kinda of old
but i was able to notice some mistakes he made while taking it apart and putting it back
together. Even thought the camera angles are just ok its obvious he is not using a magnetic
tip screw driver, and not to meantioned it was the same one the whole time, this is not
necessarily a mistake but it would have made the process easier. I also noticed while trying
to take parts off he did not remove all the necessary cables first. This lerson was all over the
place and did not do one area at the time. This person was also working really fast and did
not take his time being careful. While assembling he forgot which items went first on
occasions and was not doing it step by step or in any order, he was just putting things on as
he grabbed them and did not really explain his methods and procedures. I chose this video
because it was a tower and since it was old i was able to see errors early. The video I choose
was well explain this guy got years of experience with computer device, I notice in the
beginning of the video he disconnect all power and separate the battery from the laptop then
he already prepared his tools a pliers, black stick, philip head screwdriver, dental pick,
blades, cotton swab and a tray for storing the screws. The process of breaking down a
computer if not experience can be super long. He was that experience with computers he
jump start and unscrew the back of the device then the screws instantly stick to the Phillip
head screwdriver because it has a magnetic tip, he then place the screws and other parts in
the trays then after he flip over the laptop and open up and unscrew and remove the key
board from the motherboard connector. He even went further and and unscrew the
motherboard and separate the wires that are connected on it. I think If I should take apart a
laptop I would have to take pictures or small videos clips of each steps just not to get
confused with disassembled and assembled a laptop. This video has taught me a lot which in
the future I can reuse if I ever work with computer repair. First thing I noticed is that the
laptop is on a tile floor or counter, probably in someones kitchen. Even though the area is
clean, when working with something like a laptop or pc, I would have prepared better by
setting up a workstation. Second thing I noticed was that the technician is not wearing a
ESD strap which would protect from electrostatic discharge that can damage chips and
destroy motherboards. I also noticed that the screwdrivers that are being used have magnetic
tips. Magnetic tips could cause damage to motherboards or other important components. In
this video the technician also puts all the removed components on the floor, even the RAM.
RAM is a very important component and should be handled with more care, best practice is
to use an anti static mat or bag. Lastly all the screws were just laid on the floor asking to be
lost or used in the wrong location. I would recommend a better video if looking for best
practices when working with computers. I want to first start off by saying I hope all is well
with everyone and their families during these scary times. It has been years since I seen a PC
be built from scratch, so I decided to watch more than 1 video. While both video tutorials
offered great insight into what it is needed to assemble the PC, the videos both offered some
vast differences. The first video I watched was geared more toward the assembly of a
desktop computer. The person doing the video first showed the parts he was using to build
the computer. However, the person never spoke and just pointed to where the parts were
going with no real explanation of the part and the functions the parts provide to make the
computer run. Another thing I noticed was he did not even turn the computer on, so I did not
know if everything was installed properly or correctly. The second video I watched was
geared toward laptop assembly and installing a CPU. The host of the video was showing
different CPU chips that plug into the motherboard using pins. He also explained the two
types of main CPU sockets the LPA and the PGA style sockets which I thought was very
informative. The only real error that I noticed was the second video only really spoke on the
CPU Sockets and nothing else really. I am excited to begin this class and I hope to learn a
lot of information that will be beneficial to my career in the future. The first thing I noticed
is he didn’t mention anything about backing up important data. I assume this is because his
whole intention was to reuse parts for a different computer build. The other issue I saw was
there wasn’t any ESD protective strap used. These straps can be very useful and help reduce
unwanted damage that could have been avoided. I sometimes use these straps at my current
job to be sure nothing is harmed while installing or upgrading. I like in the video how he has
little pieces of advice like to make sure you remove all M.2 drives under heat sinks. I also
noticed in the video he used a magnetic hardware cup for the hardware, so he doesn’t lose it
while working. In this video he breaks down three different computer and, they are two
different styles of cooling for the processor. On the second computer he shows how the
thermal past can harden and be difficult to remove the fan that’s directly attached to it,
whereas the other computer used liquid cooling style to help the processor stay in working
temperatures. This is a tear down video but on the same channel you can also watch how the
other PC’s are put together. The benefits of computers are copious. They make research,
communication, shopping and a host of other tasks easier, quicker, and with greater
accessibility to reach beyond your local region. But what if you are away from the computer
system and would still like to access all of those possibilities? You could always lug around
two or three components and hope you find a power source (and maybe Internet access) to
get things done. It is doubtful that anyone would do that willingly. Fortunately, there are
alternatives in mobile devices. Laptops, tablets, smartphones, e-readers, cameras and GPS
have enhanced the computing experience to a greater level. On the video I watched, the first
mistake I found was that the person disassembling his computer didn't use an ESD strap
before disassembling his computer. Without an ESD strap, it's possible for static electricity
to ruin any computer parts being removed or replaced. Even just a small amount of static
electricity could be damaging. The next mistake he made was, he didn't keep his screws in a
cup or anything and just left them rolling around on the table. Screws are easy to lose and if
one of them is missing then it's possible for parts to fall. If a screw is lost inside the
computer then it could scratch one of the components or cause something to short circuit.
Another mistake this person made was, after removing the screws and deciding to remove
the motherboard from his computer, he picked it up by the motherboard's heatsink instead of
by the sides. By removing it like this he risks creating an air gap between the heatsink and
processor. These air gaps can cause the processor to overheat as the heatsink isn't able to
remove the heat effectively. In this video I found one minor mistake and something they
could have used, I thought that could help them. The mistake I noticed is that they did not
clean the old heat sink off the CPU and put fresh on when they installed it back because it
could cause the CPU to overheat, if the heat sink is not spread evenly across the CPU. The
item they could have used to help them is a magnet tray for the tiny screws you take out
because I have lost a few when I was building mine, also they could have used a magnetic
screwdriver or a magnet on the end of a wand to get in the tight spots when they drop a
screw because I know they did in this video that they edited out. The over all video was well
put together I thought. I like at the end that they explained what each part did and even had
a diagram for each part of the motherboard. I learned that they had a North bridge and a
South bridge on a motherboard and I did not know that until now.
ESD can cause damage to computer equipment if not discharged properly. Follow proper
handling guidelines, be aware of environmental issues, and use equipment that stabilizes
power to prevent equipment damage and data loss. I like how immediately he was focused
on the safety of himself, as well as the unit. He began by hooking up the ante static wrist
cable. The next step I thought was to hold power button down for a few seconds to discharge
any stored energy, but he went right into unhooking the SATA cable. Another issue with
disassembling the components was that he was unaware of the terminology for SATA
motherboard connection. Removing the RAM, he suggested not touching the contacts, this
was helpful. Personally I feel like i would have to label some connections until I get more
familiar with the process of elimination. During the assembling procedure, I learned a lot
about the terminology. I worked with a company years ago that allowed me to disassemble
computers and part them out. I was able to recollect some of the procedures. For the most
part it seems as if the material is pretty explanatory, especially while assembling the RAM,
using the guide or RAM socket, assuring proper assembly. The video that I choose is the
same builder that I used when I built my first system. I built my system about 2 years ago
and ever since that day I have never looked back. I built it because I needed a better
computer and it was going to be for school and for some games as well. I think that Kyle
builds computers on another level, I believe that he builds them as professional and
aesthetically pleasing as possible and following his guide I have built 2 systems with zero
issues. One of the things I would suggest would be to try out all the components before you
install them to the case to make sure that everything powers on and works. Another advice I
would be to make sure that you have make the back section where the cables are as neat as
possible. The reason is because when something is not working as you want it to be work
and need to find the cable. It will be a whole easier when the cables are organized, and you
can see if something is disconnected or damaged.
