TASK GUIDE
Note: Before you proceed with the assessment procedure or assessment process or whatsoever, test
your computer if it is really working. If it fails to work, let your assessor know. Do not start
disassembling until the computer works fine during the test-run.

3. Clean your table or make some space where you can place your system unit during
disassembling on top of your table.
4. And then remove the connections at the back panel of your computer. In removing the
connections at the back panel start from the top and then to the bottom.

10.4. Hard Disk Drive
10.5. Random-Access Memory
11. Finish
*Let your trainer check
1.2. COMPUTER ASSEMBLING (for training only)
1. Assemble your computer. To assemble your computer let us have this convention of
assembling or rules of assembling your computer. “The last part you remove should be the
first one to be return.” In this case the last part that we removed is Random-Access Memory,
therefore the first part that we will going to return is the Random-Access Memory.

1.2. Hard Disk Drive
1.3. Front Panel Cover
1.4. Mother Board
1.5. Power Supply
Connect all the connectors in their correct slot.
You may call your trainer/assessor in this part to check the computer hardware.
And then test-run your computer.
When the computer run successfully turn it off and disconnect the back-panel connectors and
return the system unit cover.
Troubleshooting after assembling
*Power problem
1. Check if the AVR and UPS is on.
2. Check the POWER CONNECTOR at the back-panel if it is connected and if it
is plugged in in either AVR or UPS
3. Check if the POWER SUPPLY has its own button and check if it is off, if so
turn it on.
4. Inside the system unit. Check the front-panel connectors if they are in
placed correctly.
5. Check ATX (24 pins and 12v) if they are correctly connected to the mother
board.
6. Lastly check the JUMPER if it is in placed correctly.
*Display Problem
1. Check if the computer is turned on.
2. Check the monitors’ power connector is connected to either AVR or UPS
(or in the computer USB port)
3. Check the VGA Connector if it is connected to the back-panel of your
computer and if it is connected to the monitor. (If the display is all about
“NOT CONNECTED” it means that the VGA Connector is disconnected
from the computer.
4. If the monitor displayed a notification saying “NO SIGNAL” it means that
the problem is in the RAM. Move the RAM to the other memory
module/memory slot.
