PC Maintenance Class 2 Term 2

Tonight's class was a hardware session. The main point of which was to demonstrate how easy it is to take apart a desktop computer, compared to the complexity of a laptop.

Here is a selection of photographs from tonight's hand's on session:

Keith and Roger hard at work organising the bits and pieces they have to build this computer. It was a box of components when I gave it to them.

Our other team had a laptop to dismantle.

If nothing else, they would learn that this is why we don't upgrade laptops in the same manner in which we might with a Desktop PC.

Underneath the laptop, this model has a trap door where the memory is located.

The coloured spaghetti that are the power cables of the Desktop PC's power supply.
