Replacing Defective Computer
Components
When replacing computer parts and
peripherals, you need to consider the
following factors:
1. Compatibility of the component or part
2. Consider the component specification
3. Components form factor
 Setting of Standard
1. Students will be grouped into 4
2. Each group will choose their leader to facilitate the
task
3. Five (5) minutes will be given to finish the activity
Compatibility of the Component
When replacing computer parts you
should check if it is compatible with your unit.
Double check on your computer manual if the
component you are replacing is compatible or
not with the unit because this may lead to
system crash.
Component Specification
This focuses on the specification of
the component. Check if the voltage
rating, current rating, memory size
and frequency matches your
computer unit.
Form factor
The components’ manufacturer should be
considered. Check if the unit you are trying
to repair or upgrade is generic or branded
units. Branded units have their own set of
components compatible only to their units,
while genetic types can be used only to
generic type of units
