Here are the key safety procedures and PPE to remember when maintaining and repairing computer systems:
- Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as safety glasses to protect eyes from dust or small parts.
- Ground yourself to prevent static discharge which can damage sensitive electronic components. Use an anti-static wrist strap connected to a grounding point.
- Ensure equipment is powered off and unplugged from power sources before opening cases or touching internal components to avoid electric shock.
- Be careful of sharp edges on component cases that could cause cuts. Handle parts carefully.
- Avoid touching components and circuit boards unnecessarily as oils from skin can cause corrosion.
- Lifting heavy objects like monitors

COMPUTER SYSTEMS SERVICING LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET 1 4th Quarter Maintaining and Repairing Computer Systems and Networks (MRCN)
Background Information
PC diagnostic is a method of testing a computer hardware device or software program to ensure it is
working as it should be. Diagnosing computer problems requires a great deal of patience and an eye for detail, coupled with troubleshooting skills, logical thinking, and understanding of the equipment that you can use to assist you in fixing the problem at hand. Many different devices can be used to test the functionality of various PC components, ranging from multipurpose devices such as Multimeters and Oscilloscope to specific tools such as Network Protocol Analyzers. This will be the source of information for you to acquire the knowledge and skills with minimum supervision or help from your trainer. You will acquire the competency independently and at your own pace. Learning Competency: LO 3. Diagnose faults of computer systems and networks (TLE_IACSS912MRCN-IIIa-h42) 3.1 Use appropriate personal protective equipment in line with the standard procedures 3.2 Diagnose faults or problems in the computer systems and networks according to requirements and in line with the standard procedures 3.3 Manage contingency measures in accordance with established procedures 3.4 Implement contingency measures in accordance with established procedures 3.5 Respond to unplanned events or conditions in accordance with established procedures For Your Information… Has your computer ever stopped working for no apparent reason? The frustration brought on by technological advancements can cause any sane person to yank the plug right out of the wall. Luckily, there's a better way. Learn what to do when your computer freezes, facts about different kinds of computer failure, the various ways to restart Macs and PCs, and how to prevent future freezes.
The three main types of computer failures are system errors, freezing, and applications quitting. Simply put, Mac system errors warn you with the dreaded bomb Alert box. A system error occurs when there is a conflict between the operating system and one or more applications, like Microsoft Word or Internet Explorer. The next type of computer failure is freezing, also known as crashing or hanging. In this case, the computer locks up and the mouse and keyboard become useless accessories. Freezing exists both at the individual program level and on a system-wide basis. An application suddenly quitting is the third type of computer failure and probably the most common. This means that only one program is affected rather than the whole system. All three types of computer failures are frustrating if you do not know what to do, but by following these steps you will learn how to properly unfreeze your computer.
Activity 1: Diagnose faults or problems in the computer systems and networks
Direction: Identify the Symptoms & Resolutions of the following system Errors
System Error Symptoms Action/resolutions
1. The remote computer is not available
2. The network name
cannot be found
3. The credentials supplied conflict with an existing set of credentials
4. The network location
cannot be reached.
2 ACTIVITY 2: Diagnosing Errors Directions: Given the different equipment, diagnose and identify the common connection error messages and symptoms in the computer system. Problem Diagnosing Error Description Action Taken
1. Processor Error
2. Memory Error
3. Video Card Error
4. Shutdown Error
5. Keyboard Error or no Keyboard
present
6. Hard Disk(s) install failure
7. CMOS Battery failed
Activity 3: Match Me Directions: The following pictures in column A show how to diagnose a computer problem. Match them according to their respective step in column B. Write the correct answer in the answer column.
No Picture Description Answer
. COLUMN A COLUM B 1. a. Check for the problem in safe mode. As a last-ditch effort, check the problem in safe mode, it is a fair bet that the operating system itself is to blame. You may need to Reinstall Windows
3 2. b. Run a virus and malware scan. Performance problems can be caused by malware on the computer. Running a virus scan can unearth any problems.
3. c. Listen to the computer. If the
hard drive is scratching or making loud noises, shut off the computer and have a professional diagnose the hard drive.
4 d. Check the RAM and CPU
consumption. If your computer CPU graph is running 80% - 100% most of the time you may be able to upgrade your computer processor. in your computer is using too much memory, close all unneeded programs and browser tabs and see if your computer’s performance improve. 5 e. Check any newly installed software. Uninstall any recently installed programs and see if the problems continue.
6 f. Check for hardware problems.
Computer problems are caused by failures or problems with hardware drivers.
4 7 g. Check for any graphics problems. The computer is able to boot properly, but you notice graphics problems, this may indicate driver failures or hardware failures with the graphics card.
8 h. Check the load time of the
operating system. It takes for an operating system to load when a computer boots up greatly depend on the hardware of the computer is running
9 i. Check the post. This part of a
computer’s startup program is used to diagnose the keyboard, random access memory (RAM), disk drives, and other hardware to make sure they are working properly.
10 j. Check that the cables and
components are properly connected. This especially important if you recently upgraded your computer.
5 Things to REMEMBER… FAULT – is the property that enables a system to continue operating properly in the event of the failure of (or one or more faults within) some of its components. If its operating quality decreases at all, the decrease is proportional to the severity of the failure, as compared to a naively designed system, in which even a small failure can cause total breakdown.
DIAGNOSE – programs that address the efficiency of a network
configuration. This type of tool is helpful when a specific workstation experiences difficulty when attempting to connect to a network via a server or some type of remote connection.
Maintenance – to help keep equipment up and running, preventing
any unplanned downtime and expensive costs from unanticipated equipment failure.
Defect - Refers to an error, fault or flaw in any computer program
or a hardware system. A bug produces unexpected results or causes
Configuration – Physical layout, interconnections, and functional
characteristics of a computer system (usually called Configuration Item), set forth in its technical documentation as required for its assembly, testing, installation, operation, and maintenance.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) – is equipment worn to
minimize exposure to hazards that cause serious workplace injuries and illnesses.
ERRORS- he occurrence of an incorrect result produced by a
computer
Preventive Maintenance - that is regularly performed on a piece of
equipment to lessen the likelihood of it failing. It is performed while the equipment is still working so that it does not break down unexpectedly.
