Proper Use of ESD Tools

The purpose of an antistatic wrist strap is to equalize the electrical charge

between you and the equipment. The antistatic wrist strap is a conductor that
connects your body to the equipment that you are working on. When static
electricity builds up in your body, the connection made by the wrist strap to the
equipment, or ground, channels the electricity through the wire that connects
the strap.

The wrist strap has two parts and is easy to wear:

1.Wrap the strap around your wrist and secure it using the snap or Velcro. The
metal on the back
of the wrist strap must remain in contact with your skin at all times.
2. Snap the connector at the end of the wire to the wrist strap, and connect the
other end either to the equipment or to the same grounding point that the
antistatic mat is connected to. The metal skeleton of the case is a good place to
connect the wire. When connecting the wire to equipment that you are working
on, choose an unpainted metal surface. A painted surface does not conduct the
electricity as well as unpainted metal.
An antistatic mat is slightly conductive. It works by drawing static electricity
away from a component and transferring it safely from equipment to a
grounding point:
1.Lay the mat on the workspace next to or under the computer case.
2. Clip the mat to the case to provide a grounded surface on which you can
place parts as you remove them from the system.
Reducing the potential for ESD reduces the likelihood of damage to delicate
circuits or components.

Proper Use of Hand Tools

A technician needs to be able to properly use each tool in the toolkit. This topic
covers many of the various hand tools used when repairing computers.
Screws
Match each screw with the proper screwdriver. Place the tip of the screwdriver
on the head of the screw. Turn the screwdriver clockwise to tighten the screw
and counterclockwise to loosen the screw.
Screws can become stripped if you over-tighten them with a screwdriver. A
stripped screw, may get stuck in the screw hole, or it may not tighten firmly.
Discard stripped screws.
Flat head screwdriver
Use a flat head screwdriver when you are working with a slotted screw. Do not
use a flat head screwdriver to remove a Phillips head screw.
CAUTION: If excessive force is needed to remove or add a component,
something is probably wrong.
Phillips head screwdriver
Use a Phillips head screwdriver with crosshead screws. Do not use this type of
screwdriver to puncture anything. This will damage the head of the screwdriver.
Hex driver
Use a hex driver to loosen and tighten bolts that have a hexagonal (six-sided)
head. Hex bolts should not be over-tightened because the threads of the bolts
can be stripped. Do not use a hex driver that is too large for the bolt that you are
using.
CAUTION: Some tools are magnetized. When working around electronic
devices, be sure that the tools you are using have not been magnetized.
Magnetic fields can be harmful to data stored on magnetic media. Test your tool
by touching the tool with a screw. If the screw is attracted to the tool, do not use
the tool.
Part retriever, Needle-nose pliers, or tweezers
The part retriever, needle-nose pliers, and tweezers can be used to place and
retrieve parts that may be hard to reach with your fingers. Do not scratch or hit
any components when using these tools.
CAUTION: Pencils should not be used inside the computer to change the
setting of switches or to pry off jumpers. The pencil lead can act as a conductor
and may damage the computer components.
Proper Use of Cleaning Materials
Keeping computers clean inside and out is a vital part of a maintenance
program. Dirt can cause problems with the physical operation of fans, buttons,
and other mechanical components.
CAUTION: When compressed air is used to clean inside the computer, the air
should be blown around the components with a minimum distance of four
inches from the nozzle. The power supply and the fan should be cleaned from
the back of the case.

Computer Cases and Monitors

Clean computer cases and the outside of monitors with a mild cleaning solution
on a damp, lint-free cloth.
LCD Screens
Do not use ammoniated glass cleaners or any other solution on an LCD screen,
unless the cleaner is specifically designed for the purpose.
CRT Screens
To clean the screens of CRT monitors, dampen a soft, clean, lint-free cloth with
distilled water and wipe the screen from top to bottom. Then use a soft, dry cloth
to wipe the screen and remove any streaking after you have cleaned the
monitor.
Component Contacts
Clean the contacts on components with isopropyl alcohol. Do not use rubbing
alcohol.
Keyboard
Clean a desktop keyboard with compressed air or a small, hand-held vacuum
cleaner with a brush attachment.
CAUTION: Never use a standard vacuum cleaner inside a computer case. The
 plastic parts of the vacuum cleaner can build up static electricity and discharge
to the components. Use only a vacuum approved for electronic components.
Mouse
Use glass cleaner and a soft cloth to clean the outside of the mouse. Do not
spray glass cleaner directly on the mouse
