The average Technical Systems Department at the Educational Institution Republica De France with an agreement with the SENA in San Francisco, Cundinamarca is to facilitate people management and knowledge to disassemble PC, to optimize computing services in the academic areas and administration.

External Components
1. Screen or Monitor 2. Box or Cabinet 3. Keyboard 4. Mouse

Internal Components

1. Hard Drive

6. Energy Source

2. Motherboard
3. Microprocessor 4. Memory RAM 5. Modem

7. Floppy

1. Screen or Monitor

The monitors are connected to the computer via a graphics card (or adapter or video card).

You can usually can qualify for the monitor as an observation window through which we see what is happening in the computer's memory.

2. Box or cabinet

The cabinet of a PC is a piece in which construction materials are used as plastics and metals such as aluminum and steel, although not enough, his main task is to stay inside and keep the various devices that comprise it.

3. keyboard

The keyboard connects to the computer via a serial port or USB. Basically, the keyboard is composed of a group of keys, each key corresponding to one or more characters, functions or commands.

4. Mouse

The mouse is an input device to interact with the computer as you're going sliding on the table and whose movement we see on the screen as an arrow. The arrow to select and execute orders. The left button is equivalent to the ENTER key on the keyboard.

1. Hard Drive
Also known as drive C, this system ope rates digital storage (ie the information is quantized, encoded direct values of zeros or ones) in discs rapidly rotating magnetic surfaces.

Within it stores all the programs that we can work with the computer

2. Motherboard
It is a fundamental element in any computer, as is the plate to which are connected the other elements that form it.

All other components such as hard disk, memory and others, have to connect to it so that the computer can work.

3. Microprocessor

It is considered the brain of a computer. It consists of millions of transistors integrated. This device is housed in a special socket on the motherboard and has a cooling system (usually a fan).

4. Memory RAM
Types of RAM Directing the computer works in a data call cir cuit section RAM. The higher the better convenienc e for working space, the programs in coordination with the circuits placed and manipulate data in this space. All existing data in RAM disappears when you turn off your PC.

The physical RAM is made up of integrated circuits assembled as modules that are inserted vertically into the memory banks of computers.

5. Modem
The modem is a peripheral input / output that can be both internal and external. Connect a telephone line and access to various computer networks like the Internet. In the case of the Internet connection via telephone, the modem receives analog data, is responsible for modulating and converts to digital. The device also performs the reverse process, allowing communications.

6. Energy Source

Is the device that provides the electricity that powers a computer. The strands of colored wires coming out of the source providing power to hard drives, Floppy, CDROM, etc.

The source is very hot so it is essential to have an exhaust heat (fan shaped). If the pump fails, the computer may appear severe damage to the hard drive and motherboard.

7. FLOPPY

This is box where made diskettes. It is computers distinguished a small door

a small recordings are with the always in front of and is because it has

Types of Screwdrivers

In cross-tip

Star tip Flat blade

 Tweezers

Tip Curved Tip

Court Fine Point

 Antistatic Wrist Strap

protects electronic components from static discharge that is loaded with the human body and can affect them and in some cases even destroy.

1. Turn off the PC

2. Disconnect the computer from the electrical outlet, cable power one hour and cool components

3. Identify the type of hardware or fixing mechanism CPU cover..

4. Wear the Antistatic wrist strap

5 Already identified the type of screws, remove the screws and mark them so as not to confuse.

6. Removed screws push back to remove the top

7. Make a small diagram of each of the positions of the components to make it easier to location of them.

8. Wearing the wrist strap wrist and connect the metal end of the bracelet in a metal within the CPU

9. Releasing all connections of the power supply. This photo shows the connector which is fed by the fan

Part of the connection to the motherboard

Another of the connectors

Microprocessor heat sink and the 2 connectors that leads, power and speed control.

Release the power connector on the ATX

Latest air connector

You loose the power cables

10. Disconnect the CD / DVD, you just have to pull one of the and then the other side.

11. Disconnect the connector base plate has a small tape to help us release, pull up first on one side and then the other

12 Disconnect the connector belonging to the on-board floppy Likewise base as above

13. Disconnect the drive itself

14. Disconnect the hard disks. Press the metal plate white indicates the date and pull the cable.

15. We loose wires hard disk on the plate bases of the same previous form

16. Remove the cables that power the hard drive

17. Remove the hard drive. Loosen the screws that bind and removing them backwards as indicated white arrows.

18. Loosen the screws on the drive and the CD / DVD, remove the front cover of the tower, so removing it lifting the tabs that hold it on both sides and remove the front

tabs

19. Pull the drive to remove

20. Remove the CD / DVD, which will remove the respective screw and pull to remove

21. Removing the power supply. Unscrew at the rear bolts from the source

22. Push in and see how it goes the source to remove

23. Remove the fan and heatsink heat. drop a connector carrying

24. Push aside the clip on the fan to be release and then take it to the other end

25. The loose and have to sink to move it side to side and throw some of it

26. Remove the microprocessor. Release the right leg and lift, you will notice how it moves in socket microprocessor and this could be set free.

27. Remove the microprocessor

28 Remove the RAM. Push down tabs and come out a little.

29. Take it as indicated by the red arrow and pull up

30. Find a piece of Plastic in which This plate resting press a small tab leads to plaque is free and little lift to bit.

The tower ran out of any component
