Dawnt Woreda IT Center group leader, tekitual kassaw as network administrator, and samrawit
as communication and as system administer wendimnew desalegn The service it has supply in
the training of high level skilled workforce and professionals in various key areas of
development is model. This organization is located in kurba from in front of kurba public library.
Until very lately, it has been the one of the IT staff where student join practice and customer gain
different facility. Particularly for the development of country resources.
As more information is made available in a variety of formats, media and also printing like
newspaper in difference many locations, the need to manage information efficiently becomes
more and more important. In addition, with the coming of information modification, more and
more information is available and reachable. Analyzing, interpreting, and making use of the data
has been difficult using the classical or manual analysis.
In this point, the use of IT and activity of up to date technologies could be at most important.
Hence, recognizing the potential of IT for all-round, Dawunt Woreda IT Center establish the
IT internet cafe Centre to provide different IT services to the community and Staffs, to enable all
academic, administrative and managerial staff with the required competencies in IT and to carry
out internal and international communication as well as approach to resources that support the
wachemo University’s learning and other activities.

Software

 Word 2013 in window 8.1 operating system:-This is used to write the documentation of
the proposed system from the starting to the end of the project.

2.2 Materials/ tools used

This is tool kits or PC tools that are used to disassembling and assembling the Hardware
Component and also have replace and repairing some component of PC. Using tools properly
helps prevent accidents and damage to equipment and people. This section describes and covers
the proper use of a variety of hardware, software, and organizational tools specific to working
with computers and peripherals.

2.2.1 Hardware tools

For every job there is the right tool. Make sure that you are familiar with the correct use of each
tool and that the correct tool is used for the current task. Skilled use of tools and software makes
the job less difficult and ensures that tasks are performed properly and safely. A toolkit should
contain all the tools necessary to complete hardware repairs. As you gain experience, you learn
which tools to have available for different types of jobs. They can be classified in to
 Hand tools

 Cleaning tools

Hand tools: most tools used in the computer assembly process are small hand tools. They are
available individually or as part of a computer repair toolkit. Toolkits range widely in size,
quality, and price. Some common hand tools and their uses are:

5|Page
Figure 1shows some common tools used in computer repair.

 Flat-head screwdriver: Used to tighten or loosen slotted screws.

 Phillips-head screwdriver: Used to constrict or loosen cross-headed screws.

 Hex driver: Used to tighten or loosen nuts in the same way that a screwdriver tightens or
loosens screws (sometimes called a nut driver).

 Needle-nose pliers: Used to hold small parts.

 Wire cutters: Used to strip and cut wires.

 Tweezers: Used to manipulate small parts.

 Part retriever: Used to retrieve parts from locations that are too small for your hand to
fit.

 Flashlight: Used to light up areas that you cannot see well.

 Wire stripper: A wire stripper is used to remove the insulation from wire so that it can
be twisted to other wires or crimped to connectors to make a cable.

 Crimper: Used to attach connectors to wires.

 Punch-down tool: Used to terminate wire into termination blocks. Some cable
connectors must be connected to cables using a punch down tool.

Cleaning Tools:-Having the appropriate cleaning tools is essential when maintaining and
repairing computers. Using the appropriate cleaning tools helps ensure that computer
components are not damaged during cleaning. Cleaning tools include the following:

6|Page
  Soft cloth: Used to clean different computer components.

 Compressed air: Used to blow away dust and debris from different computer parts
without touching the components.

 Cable ties: Used to bundle cables neatly inside and outside of a computer.

 Parts organizer: Used to hold screws, jumpers, fasteners, and other small parts and
prevents them from getting mixed together

Hardware maintenance

Below are descriptions of some of the most common hardware repairs, including key steps in the
process. In all cases, however, the IT technician who is just beginning to work on computer
repair would be encouraged to complete these repairs alongside a more experienced technician as
they gain skill and confidence. If the lab manager has an opportunity (through this course or any
other) to attend a hardware repair training session, he or she should insist on being involved in as
much hands-on training as is possible. Make sure that the hardware is operating properly.
 Repair or replace damaged parts.

 Keep components clean.

 Create a hardware maintenance program.

 Check the condition of parts.

1. Replacing a Power Supply

For desktop computers in power supply failure is a common problem. This is due to an uneven
or “dirty” voltage and power surges. Before replacing a power supply, a technician should make
sure that it truly is dead. Then follow the steps below:
 Unplug the power cable from the back of the computer case.

 Open up the computer case. The method varies with the brand and model
of computer, but often involves laying the case on its side and opening up
the side panel. Some computer cases use screws and others have buttons
to press that release one side panel.

7|Page
  Find and unscrew all of the screws attaching the power supply to the back
of the case. Usually there will be four screws, located just outside the cut
out in the case where the power supply is found. Do not disconnect the
various cables yet. Move the dead power supply as far out of the way as
the cables will allow. You may be able to set the power supply on top of
the case

 Install the new power supply and screw in all screws.

 One by one, detach the cables from the old power supply to the various
computer components, and replace them with the cables from the new
power supply. Doing this one by one will help make sure that no
components are missed. There will be power supply connectors for the
motherboard and all drives. When removing the cables, keep an eye out
for latches that need to be depressed to release the connector. All of the
connectors should only fit in one direction, and with little force. If a
connector does not attach easily, make sure that it is properly aligned
before pushing harder.

Figure 2 Replacing a Power Supply

2. Replacing a Hard Drive

Replacing a faulty hard drive is not a difficult task, but a technician should have done
some investigative work first to determine if the hard drive is faulty. Checking to make

8|Page
 sure the cables to the hard drive are still fully connected. The computer may also present
error codes during start up that indicate a problem with the hard drive. Before replacing a
hard drive, it is value trying to reset the BIOS to the default settings to see if this fixes the
problem

Once it has been determined that a hard drive problem is likely, the computer technician
should follow the steps below to replace the hard drive with a known working hard drive.

 Disconnect the computer case from electricity and then open the computer
case Locate the hard drive. It will likely be found in a metal case or cage
near the front of the computer case, below the other drives. It could be
mounted directly on the cage or it could be mounted on rails that will slide
out of the case.

 Unscrew the hard drive from the cage or slide the rails out and unscrew
the hard drive from the rails.

 Remove the long ribbon cable from hard drive. There may have been a
small amount of glue used to hold the ribbon in place that will also need to
be removed. Then remove the smaller power cable. If it is difficult to
remove, gently wiggle the connector back and forth along its long axis as
you pull. Note the orientation of the connector to make sure that the new
hard drive is connected in the same manner.

 Connect the cables to the new hard drive. Then screw the hard drive back
on to the bars and slide the rails into position. Make sure that all of the
9|Page
 cables are as they were found. Close the case and the repair is complete.
Note that if any new noises or problems appear after the installation, it is
possible that another device or cable was disturbed during the repair and
needs to be reattached or reseated.

Figure 3 Removing a Hard Drive

3 Replacing RAM

A lab technician may want to add RAM to speed up a slow computer. RAM also can fail or
come loose from its housing and need to be reseated. If a lab technician has decided that a
computer needs new or additional RAM, it is important to make sure that the RAM used is
compatible with the computer system. There are several online RAM sales companies that will

10 | P a g e
identify the appropriate RAM if a user inputs the computer makes and model Once the RAM has
been obtained, the lab technician should follow the steps below to replace the RAM. Open the
computer case as previously described. Find the RAM slots (long parallel connectors). Note
which slots are occupied and if the slots are numbered (at the ends). If the slots are not
numbered, the slots closest to the processor are probably the lower numbered slots and should be
filled first.

 Simultaneously push down and out on both retaining clips (on each
end) of a RAM slot to remove the old RAM. Note the orientation of
the RAM so that the replacement RAM can be put in facing the same
direction. There should be some notches on the bottom edge of the
RAM that can be used as a guide.

 Gently place the new RAM in the socket and press down firmly on the
top of the RAM at both ends (see photo). When the RAM module is
correctly seated, the retaining clips will automatically close.

 Close the computer case.

2.2.2 Software tools

Like hardware tools, there are a variety of software tools that can be used to help technicians
identify and troubleshoot problems. Many of these tools are free and several come with the
Windows operating system.

 Disk Management Tools

Software tools help diagnose computer and network problems and determine which computer
device is not functioning correctly. A technician must be able to use a range of software tools to
diagnose problems, maintain hardware, and protect the data stored on a computer.

You must be able to identify which software to use in different situations. Disk management
tools help detect and correct disk errors, prepare a disk for data storage, and remove unwanted
files.

11 | P a g e
The following are some disk management tools:

 Disk Management Tool: Initializes disks, creates partitions, and formats partitions.

 Format: Prepares a hard drive to store information.

 Scandisk: Checks the integrity of files and folders on a hard drive by scanning the file
system. These tools might also check the disk surface for physical errors.

 Defrag: Optimizes space on a hard drive to allow faster access to programs and data.

 Disk Cleanup: Clears space on a hard drive by searching for files that can be safely
deleted.

Use the Windows 7 boot disk for troubleshooting and repairing corrupted files. The Windows 7
boot disk repairs Windows system files, restores damaged or lost files, and reinstalls the
operating system.

 Protection Software Tools

Each year, viruses and other types of malicious attacks infect millions of computers. These
attacks can damage operating systems, applications, and data. Computers that have been infected
may even have problems with hardware performance or component failure. To protect data and
the integrity of the operating system and hardware, use software designed to guard against
attacks and to remove malicious programs.

Various types of software protect hardware and data:

 Antivirus program: Protects against virus attacks.

 Antispyware program: Protects against software that sends information about web
surfing habits to an attacker. Spyware can be installed without the knowledge or consent
of the user.

 Window 7 Firewall: Runs continuously to protect against unauthorized communications

to and from your computer.

Software maintenance overview

17 | P a g e
Computer problems are not only that of hardware malfunctioning. Software as well can make a
computer to misbehave. This often arises from improper shut down or when a new software is
added. To correct software problems most times, a system restore should be done or the newly
installed software should be removed.
 Using Safe Mode

Safe Mode is a convenient tool for both troubleshooting and repairing software problems. It is
a simplified version of a Windows operating system, which can often be used when a
computer is having problems that prevent its standard Windows operating system from
loading. To boot a computer in Safe Mode the user should turn on the computer and
immediately start tapping the F8 key.
 Installing Updates

If a computer user has identified that there is a problem with a particular piece of software,
before uninstalling that software it is wise to see if the software producers have identified and
fixed any problems with that software. In many cases this can be done easily by selecting the
“Check for Updates” command in the software, often found in the Help menu.
If a particular piece of software does not have a “Check for Updates” option, the user will need
to go to the website for that software and search there for updates.
 Uninstall or change a program

You can uninstall a program from your computer if you no longer use it or if you want to free up
space on your hard disk. Start control panel add/remove programs or Select a program, and
then click Uninstall. Some programs include changing or repairing the program in addition to
uninstalling it.

 Using System Restore

System Restore is a utility program that is found with most versions of the Microsoft Windows
operating system. If a computer is reset to an earlier restore point, however, any software that
was installed after the restore point will be uninstalled. To access the System Restore utility

18 | P a g e
on a Windows computer, go to start  All Programs  Accessories  System Tools 
System Restore.
 Booting from a Different Device

A computer can also be booted from other devices such as floppy disks, CD/DVD disks,
flash drives or external hard drives. Booting from these devices is the only option if the
software on the hard drive has been corrupted to the point that it will not start the
computer.
In order to boot from a disk the computer user must have a boot disk or recovery disk for
that computer. Boot disks contain only critical startup files, and they are best prepared and
used by experienced computer technicians. Recovery disks used to come standard with all
new computers.

Install Windows 10 using a Bootable USB Drive

Step 1: Connect the Bootable USB flash drive with your PC and reboot it.

Step 2: As soon as you’re PC boots, press the F12 key to bring up the boot drive selection
