Job 2

Objective:
2.1 Steps to disassemble a laptop:
2.11 Tools you might need:
Small Phillips screwdriver
Flathead screwdriver
Anti-static wrist strap

2.12 Steps:

A)Power Off and Unplug:


Shut down the laptop completely.Unplug the power adapter and remove any external peripherals (USB
devices, SD cards, etc.).

B)Remove the Battery:


If your laptop has a removable battery, flip the laptop over, and slide the battery release latch to remove it. For
laptops with built-in batteries, you may need to open the back panel first.

C)Discharge any residual power:


Press and hold the power button for 10-15 seconds to discharge any remaining power.

D)Remove Screws from the Back Panel:


Flip the laptop over and locate all screws securing the back panel. Use a small Phillips screwdriver to remove
them.Keep track of the screws as some may vary in size.

E)Open the Back Panel:


Use a plastic pry tool to gently separate the back panel from the chassis. Start from a corner or an edge and
slowly work your way around the entire laptop.Be cautious of any clips that may be holding the panel in
place.

F)Disconnect Internal Components (if needed):Disconnect the battery if it's still attached internally.To
further disassemble, carefully disconnect cables for components like the hard drive/SSD, RAM, wireless card,
or fan. Some may have small connectors that require a careful hand.Unscrew any additional components you
want to remove, such as the storage drive or RAM.

G)Remove the Keyboard and Other Components:If you need to access the motherboard, unscrew and
gently remove the keyboard. Some keyboards are connected with ribbon cables that must be carefully
detached.Disconnect the display if needed by unscrewing and detaching the hinge screws and display
cables.

H)Removal:If your goal is to reach the motherboard, unscrew and disconnect it carefully. Watch for any
screws that are hidden under cables or components.Reassemble:Once repairs or upgrades are done, reverse
the steps to reassemble the laptop, being sure to reconnect all cables and screws in their original positions.
2.2)Important Tips:
Keep track of all screws and where they belong, as laptops often use different sizes.Be cautious of fragile
ribbon cables and connectors.Use an anti-static wrist strap to avoid static electricity damage to sensitive
components.

2.3)Identification of Computer Components Individual:

1. Chassis/Case:
Function: The outer shell or body of the laptop that houses all internal components.Location: The top and
bottom cover, usually plastic or metal.

2. Battery:
Function: Powers the laptop when it's not connected to a power source.
Location: Either external (removable) or internal, secured inside the chassis.

Figure 2.1

3. Motherboard (Mainboard):
Function: The central circuit board where all components are connected. It facilitates communication
between all hardware components.
Location: Inside the laptop, beneath other components like the battery, storage drive, etc.

Figure 2.2

4. Processor (CPU):
Function: The brain of the laptop, handling all processing tasks.
Location: Mounted on the motherboard, often beneath a heat sink or cooling fan.

Figure 2.3

5. Graphics Processing Unit (GPU):


Function: Handles rendering of images, videos, and 3D graphics. Laptops can have integrated or dedicated
GPUs.
Location: Integrated into the CPU or as a separate chip on the motherboard.

Figure 2.4

6. RAM (Random Access Memory):


Function: Temporary memory used by the laptop to store data for currently running applications.
Location: On the motherboard, typically in a removable slot, allowing for upgrades.

Figure 2.5


7. Storage Drive (HDD or SSD):
Function: Permanent storage for the laptop’s operating system, applications, and files.
Location: Connected to the motherboard, typically near the side or bottom for easy access. SSDs are smaller
than HDDs.

Figure 2.6

8. Cooling Fan and Heat Sink:


Function: Keeps the laptop from overheating by dispersing heat from the CPU/GPU.
Location: Mounted on the motherboard, directly over the CPU and GPU.

Figure 2.7

9. Keyboard:
Function: Input device used for typing and giving commands to the laptop.
Location: Located on top of the chassis, connected to the motherboard via a ribbon cable.


Figure 2.8

10. Trackpad (Touchpad):


Function: Acts as a mouse, allowing users to navigate and control the cursor.
Location: Below the keyboard, connected to the motherboard via a cable.

Figure 2.9

11. Display/Screen (LCD or LED):


Function: Displays the visual output from the laptop’s GPU.
Location: Attached to the top half of the laptop, connected via display cables to the
motherboard.

Figure 2.10


12. Inverter (in older laptops with LCD screens):
Function: Powers the backlight for the screen.
Location: Near the screen, behind the display bezel.

13. Wireless Card (Wi-Fi/Bluetooth):


Function: Enables wireless communication for internet and Bluetooth devices.
Location: Connected to the motherboard, sometimes easily replaceable through a back panel.

Figure 2.11

14. Speakers:
Function: Output device for sound.
Location: Positioned inside the chassis, usually near the front.

15. CMOS Battery:


Function: Powers the BIOS chip to retain system settings (like time) when the laptop is turned off.
Location: On the motherboard, a small coin-sized battery

Figure 2.12

16. Ports (USB, HDMI, Audio, etc.):
Function: Connect external devices to the laptop, such as USB drives, headphones, or external monitors.
Location: Located on the sides or back of the chassis, directly connected to the motherboard.

Figure 2.13

17. Webcam :
Function: Captures video and photos.
Location: In the top bezel of the laptop screen.

Figure 2.14

18. Optical Drive:


Function: Reads and writes CDs, DVDs, or Blu-ray discs.
Location: Usually located on the side of the laptop, if present.

Figure 2.15


19. Power Jack (DC Jack):
Function: Connects the laptop to the power adapter for charging.
Location: Located on the side of the laptop, connected to the motherboard.

Figure 2.16

20. BIOS/UEFI Chip:


Function: Stores the laptop’s firmware, which controls the hardware at a low level before the operating
system starts.
Location: On the motherboard.

2.4) Steps to assemble the laptop:

Step 1) Begin reassembly by connecting components to the motherboard.

Step 2) Secure the cooling fan, wireless card, and other components.

Step 3) If separated, carefully reattach the display assembly to the laptop’s base.

Step 4) Place the bottom cover back on and secure it with screws.

Step 5) Place RAM modules back into their slots and secure the Har drive.

Step 6) If applicable, reconnect the laptop battery.

Step 7) Power on the laptop and ensure that it boots up successfully.

2.5)Conclusion:
Laptop assembly and disassembly are intricate processes that require careful attention to detail. Following
manufacturer guidelines is essential for ensuring a seamless integration of components. Disassembly also
demands a methodical approach to avoid mishandling delicate parts. Whether for repairs, upgrades, or
customisation, mastering these procedures allows users to maintain and optimise their laptops effectively.
