ICT TOOLS: Fauits in ICT tools Introduction In this unit you will lean about the common faults found when using ICT tools ‘and how to fix them. You will further discuss how fo disassemble and assemble ICT tools. This will help to deal with the most common faults when they do happen. Preparation exercise In groups of three, discuss any thiee faults that you have encountered during| lesson in the computer laboratory. Key words Troubleshooting - solving problems proactively: the computer finds and eliminates problems as one will be selecting the appropriate options from menus given. Diagnosing - identifying a fault ot taking an examination of the cause of a problem or error in the computer, ‘Computer bug - an error in software or hardware. In software, a bug is an error in coding oF logic that causes a programme to malfunction or to produce inconect results. Software - computer programmes and instructions that cause the hardware machines to do work.Hardware - equipment involved in the function of a computer, Computer hardware consists of the components that can be physically handled. [Assemble - putting components to fit ihe parts of a computer together to. make a finished whole, for example a mouse. Disassemble - fo take pieces of a computer or component apart. Topic 1: Diagnosing and fixing faults in ICT tools Everyone would like to work on a computer that Is perfectly working all the time. However, this might not be always possible due to common problems that we encounter. Two major computer problems are: ) Hardware faults 'b) Software fauits, Software faults are problems that affect the computer programs like an error that causes a progam to malfunction ot to produce incorrect results. For ‘example, fallure to open a program or slowness in opening a program. More severe software faults can cause a programme to "hang up" (stop responding to commands) and might leave the user with no choice but fo restart the programme, thereby losing whatever previous work not saved. Hardwore faults are physical problems that prevent a system or set of components from working propertly together. They can also be classified as fauls in on actucl component. For example, an electrical failure, ¢ keyboard not typing, speakers not producing sound (fallure in configuration of the component) ‘A hardware problem can be seen when a computer is having trouble in starting propery, shuts down or acts up at random and seemingly restarts itself ot random. The table below describes common technical problems and how they may be fixed. Draw the table above and fil in the correct word in the gap provided.Computer problems How to fix'solve the problem 1.

Modily queries to refine search results, design reports using wizard. Introduction Data may be duplicated in two or more files, creating unnecessary file Maintenance issues and inconsistency. Thus, there is need for a combined file system called a database. You now know how to create and enter data into a database and how to create forms and reports. in this unit we are going to explore about creating a query using the query design wizard. A query is ike a question. It is ike asking the computer database to give you results of exactly what you are looking for, The unit will further explore about query modification. To modity is to make some small changes. Preparation exercise Capture data of fen new learners in your class into a database table and create a form. Key words Database - any collection of data that is organised for storage in a computer memory. The data may be in the form of text, numbers, ‘of encoded graphics. ‘Query - a question or request for information using specified standard in a database,‘Query design view — displays the query arid where one can create and modify queties. Datasheet view ~ shows the result of a query design. ‘Condition - another word for criterion. It is a way of telling the query which ata one is interested in seeing. Criteria - when the condition has two or more parts fo it, the two conditions cate called criteria, | Run — when one opens a query object, one runs the query, | Field value — data entered into a field, ‘Query design button - creates a new, blank query in design view. Topic 1: Creating queries using the design wizard Once you have created tables and loaded them with data, there is need to retrieve this data for use, A query is used to make this data available as per owner's specification. A query is an access object used to view, analyse, or modify data. The query design determines the fields and records you see and the sorting order. Queries also alow some to join two or more telated tables, create data, ‘amend, update or delete records based on specified criteria. Only a query design is stored in the database, Wnen a query is run, it rettieves data as specified by the query design. Query results are used as the basis for reports, displayed in forms or used to create other queries Steps for creating queries Step 1 (Open your Microsoft Access database then open an Access table from which you want to create a query. if you have not yet created it, you have to create new fable with the following fields: NAME, AGE, GENDER, CLUB, FEES PAID (It there are new leamers)Step 2:Click Create then select the fable you want to display data, Step 3:Click Design Wizard and select Simple query wizard, then click OK Step 4:Choose the tables with the inforrnation you want fo be displayed e.g, FIRST NAME, LAST NAME, FEES and click Next Step 5:Click Next, then Finish (the information will be displayed in a table with the fees sucture} NB: To find leamers who paid full fees, you need to MODIFY the query. 1 @, 3 4, Select the 7 yellow query and click create.

What fool! should she use in order to view this information and, save it for later use? Topic 2: Adding a criteria to a query To limit the results of your query to certain records, you must specify selection criteria by creating an expression. A criterion is ike a formula: ‘An expression is a way to limit the records that are placed In a query result, Expression can range from very simple such as "= gil uides” and some are complex. \Valid expressions can use the following. < > > not tke between. Examples of criteria statements “200” ‘Value is 200 oO Value begins with the letters D through Z SF Values with the letters A through D <>20 of NOT 20 Every value except for 20 >=1/4/2019 Date is on or after 1/4/2019 Between 01-Mar-19 and 4-Apr-19 | Date values are belween those two dates 7 Values which star with the letter D Null There is no value in the field Revision Exercise Section A: Multiple choice questions 1. <5is an example of a ctitetion, A. complex B. simple C. ideal D. standard2. 12 Between 10 and 12 <10>12 Section B: True or False statements 1.
