1. Diagnostic Tools

a. POST Card (Power-On Self-Test Card) – Diagnoses hardware issues by providing error codes during the
system’s POST process.

b. Multimeter – Measures electrical values such as voltage, current, and resistance to diagnose power-related
issues.

c. Logic Analyzer – Analyzes digital signals and helps in debugging complex electronics.

d. Thermal Imaging Camera – Detects overheating components by capturing infrared images.

e. Memory Tester – Checks the integrity of RAM and identifies faulty memory modules.

2. Repair Tools

a. Screwdrivers - Used for opening and securing computer cases and components, available in various types
such as Phillips, flathead, and Torx.

b. Anti-Static Wrist Strap - Prevents electrostatic discharge (ESD) that could damage sensitive electronic
components.

c. Thermal Paste - Applied between the CPU and heat sink to improve heat transfer and cooling efficiency.

d. Soldering Iron - Used for repairing or replacing electronic components by melting solder.
