The document outlines potential problems during hardware installation, emphasizing the need for technician training and awareness of risks. It discusses issues such as electrostatic charge, component damage, and data loss, providing preventive measures like using antistatic wristbands and proper handling techniques. Additionally, it highlights the importance of backing up data to avoid corruption and loss, which can have severe consequences for organizations.

- 2. Potential problems Before dealing with a computer system in the workshop, training must be done for installing, disposing and dealing with computer components safely. It’s important for an technician to understand and know the risks that can occur, so it can be prevented and dealt with. There are many problems that could happen when installing hardware. This can be caused by a small accident. In this presentation I will be explaining some of the general errors and how this can be prevented and resolved.
- 3. Electrostatic charge This is the electricity between the technician and the computer component. The electricity in the circuit on the components are harmless to users/technicians, but they are very sensitive and could be damaged. This can cause damage to the component when they build up static electricity which is released on the technician and becomes discharged. To prevent all this from happening, a antistatic wristband must be worn, which is attached to a metal part inside the tower and an antistatic mat should be used, which is placed underneath the computer.
- 4. Component damage When handling with any component and computer, they is as chance that it may get damaged, as there is many ways. The common ways a component can get damaged is by dropping the component, turning screws too much ruining the treads, bending a pin or socket, and by loosening a cable in a plug. All this is generally done when rushed or a lack of concentration. To prevent this it is important to use tools and equipment correctly, to be careful, concentrate all times and to take time when handling.
- 5. Data Before starting, it is important to backup all data from the computer, as anything could happen. The two main risk that may occur is data corruption and data loss. Data corruption is when data is damaged by errors. This means the data is still recognised by the system but cannot be viewed or usable. The cause of this may be from not copying the file completely or correctly. Data loss happens when the HDD is damaged or formatted. If data is lost, it cannot be retrieved without a backup. This can be a disaster to any organisation as they wouldn’t have nay records or proof.
