To complete hardware repairs, it is important to have a
toolkit that should contain all of the necessary tools.
Hardware tools are grouped into these four categories:

● Electro-Static DischargeTools (ESD)

● Hand Tools
● Cleaning Tools
● Diagnosing Tools
ELECTRO-STATIC DISCHARGE
(ESD) TOOLS

Static electricity is easily generated by friction on

carpets, tile flooring, clothing, hair, fabric, and etc.
Grounded antistatic work mats used with antistatic wrist
straps provide the most basic means for the controlled
discharge of electrostatic electricity
 Examples of ESD Tools
● ANTI-STATIC WRIST STRAP
- Used to prevent ESD damage
to computer equipment.

● Anti-Static Mat
- Used to stand on or place hardware on to
prevent static electricity from building up.
Hand Tools

● A Hand Tool is a device for

performing work on a material
or a physical system using
only hands. Hand tools can be
used manually or electrically
powered, using electrical
current.

Cleaning Tools

Cleaning tools are objects that are

used to clean a variety of surfaces
or items and can be used multiple
times. This category includes tools
such as brushes, lint pad, and
gloves etc. that are used for
cleaning.
 Cleaning Tools

Examples of Cleaning Tools Examples of

● Lint-free cloth – Used to clean
different computer components
Cleaning Tools
● Compressed Air
without scratching or leaving debris.
– Used to blow
away dust and
debris from
different computer
parts without
touching the
components.

Diagnostic
Tools
Diagnostic tools are software or
hardware utilities designed to identify,
troubleshoot, and resolve issues within
computer systems. These tools are
instrumental in detecting hardware and
software problems, analyzing system
performance, and generating reports to
help users and technicians pinpoint and
address issues efficiently.

Proper Use of Tools
 Using the right tools when
preparing a PC is essential to
ensure that the assembly process
is efficient, components are
handled safely, connections are
secure, and the overall build
quality is maintained for optimal
performance and longevity of the
computer system.
Proper use of Static wraps
1.Prepare the Work Area: Keep all components
on this surface to minimize the risk of static
discharge.
2.Put on the Wrist Strap: Securely fasten the
metal plate of the static wrist strap to your wrist.
3.Attach the Alligator Clip: Connect the alligator
clip from the wrist strap to a grounded metal
object.
4.Maintain Connection: ensure that the wrist
strap remains securely connected to the
Proper Use of Antistatic Mat

1. Lay the computer on the mat.

2. Connect the computer to the mat with the
cable.
3. Connect the mat to a reliable electrical
ground with its cable.
4. Now, you and the computer are at
ground potential.
Proper Use of Hand Tools CAUTION!
● If excessive force is needed to

Proper Use of Cleaning Materials

● To clean computer accessories:

- Use mild cleaning solution and lint-free

cloth to clean computer cases, outside of
monitor, LCD screen, CRT Screen and
mouse.
- Use compressed air to clean the heat sink.

- Use Isopropyl alcohol and lint-free swabs

to clean the RAM.

- Use hand-held vacuum cleaner with a

brush attachment to clean a keyboard .
Alex, a college student, was engrossed in his pivotal
assignment due the following day when his PC screen
abruptly went blank, sending a surge of panic through
him. Realizing his computer failed to power on, he swiftly
recalled some troubleshooting steps and sprang into
action. Racing against time, he swiftly gathered the
essential diagnostic tools required to resolve the issue.
Alongside the screwdriver and compressed air can, he
also retrieved diagnostic software to assess the PC's
internal health. With a sense of urgency, he meticulously
opened the PC case. He unscrew the cross head screws,
he use 1. ____.
carefully cleaned out the accumulated dust using the 2.
____, and then he initiated the diagnostic hardware to
pinpoint any underlying issues using a 3. _______ to see if
there’s any grounded ports. He also check if the computer
ports are functioning using 4. _______ but all of those are
ok. He found out that the screen connection is not
connecting in the ports causing to not have a display on
the screen. He use a 5._______as a protection while
holding some of the parts, then he connect the screen
connector in a sucket to bring back the display. He fix his
computer just in time to complete his assignment before
the looming deadline.
