Laptop Disassembly & Reassembly Project - Steps for the week with your partner


All Teams need to watch this video FIRST! - How to Prevent Stripping a Screw


Safety tip - prevent static shock - To prepare for computer repair with antistatic measures, wear an anti-static wrist strap connected to a grounded metal object like the computer case, use an anti-static mat on your work surface, keep components in anti-static bags until ready to install, and always touch a grounded metal object before handling sensitive components; essentially, grounding yourself to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) that could damage delicate electronics

Stop Working and clean up at 9:45 am.  Make sure to store your parts safely & inventory your toolbox

  1. Prepare your portfolio with:
    1. a page for this project labeled with the title above
    2. Use the 3 picture/3 text template
    3. make sure to have a phone (ask for permission) or borrow a camera from Garcia
    4. Take pictures all along the project to post in your portfolio
  2. Watch this video to prepare yourself
  3. Each Day this Week - Gather your tools and laptop
    1. Choose an area in the classroom where you and your teammate have plenty of room to work
    2. Inventory your toolbox.  Make sure you use the same book for the week.  The box and the laptop should be checked out at this link 
    3. Make sure you have a place to SAFELY store your screws
    4. Take pictures along the way so you know how it looks BEFORE you take it apart.  
    5.  Take your time.  You have this week to take it apart
    6. Store your parts in a safe manner
  4. Name the internal parts of the laptop.
    1. Use the info on this link to identify the parts of the computer
    2. When you have it apart, you will need to take a picture with labels on the major components for your portfolio.  Here is an example:


    3. This will be the end of the disassembly
