What else can I help you with?
Why is it advisable to ground yourself when working inside a computer case but not when working inside a monitor?
Because of energy and the different components
Which PC components require extra care to protect your personal safety?
Unplug the system before working on internal components. Do not rely on the power cord for an electrical ground.
You should always wear a ground strap when working inside your computer case Especially when working with what?
the processor and hard drive. you wouldn't want a small shock to destroy your components do you?
Which two tools can a PC support technician use when taking apart a computer to best protect computer components against ESD?
A: it is not actually a tool but a ground wire connected to the earth ground which is connected to the chassis The best way to protect your system against ESD is to use a ground bracelet together with a ground mat. Consider a ground bracelet essential equipment when working on a computer.
How does a properly installed ground protect delicate electical components?
it can bleed of static charge
When should you not wear a wrist strap?
You should always where a ground strip when working on the internals of a computer. You should always unplug the computer from everything before working on it and ground yourself to the computers metal case. This will equalize the static electricity between you and the mother board and her components.
What are two things you can do to protect your computer when working on it?
When you say working on it I'm going to assume you mean physically. 1. Back up your drives to an external storage device or in the cloud. 2. Unplug it 3. Make sure you ground yourself the whole time you are working on it.
When working on a computer which of the following best protects against ESD Why?
There are a set of procedures that protect sensitive components from ESD. Why? to protect the components. You can get more detail on line, but they involve keeping components and PC boards and assemblies from accumulating any static charge by keeping then electrically connected to each other and to earth ground. For example you need to solder a transistor into a circuit board. Both the transistor and the circuit board should come wrapped in conductive plastic or damage could have already occured. The operator puts conductive wrist straps on and works on a conductive surface, grounded. Connect the wrist straps to the conductive surface, as well as the soldering iron. place the plastic bags on the conductive surface to ground them. Open the bags and remove the components. Solder. Place the board back in the bag.
What are three tools you can use to protect a system against ESD as you work on it?
Antistatic gloves, ground mats, and ground bracelet. Although the best way to protect your computer from ESD is by using a ground mat with Groug bracelet
Which precaution should be implemented prior to working with motherboards?
There are two significant precautions before working on a motherboard. First, ensure the computer is turned off (no power). Second, ensure you ground yourself before touching the motherboard to ensure you don't send a static charge through the components.
What is a computer casing used for?
It contains all the necessary parts, provides an electrical ground and helps to direct airflow to keep the components cool.
What precautions do you need to take to prevent electrostatic discharge damage to circuits and sensitive components?
Ground yourself before touching anything in the computer
