Testing Hard Drive
Software solutions to test Hard Drive:
•Seagate Sea Tools
•HDD Health
•Ultimate Boot CD
Testing Hard Drive
If the problem still persist, backup of files and
replacement of HDD can be considered. Other times, if
system reports drive S.M.A.R.T. error drive, backup of
files and replacement of HDD should be considered.
Testing Hard Drive
What is S.M.A.R.T?
S.M.A.R.T. or Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting
Technology is a fault detection, monitoring and
maintenance technology used by computers to provide
advanced notification for hard disk drive (HDD)
failures.
Testing Hard Drive
What is S.M.A.R.T error?
S.M.A.R.T. error are a near-term prediction of drive
failure. This might happen even if the drive seemingly
works fine.
Testing Hard Drive
Ways of knowing the S.M.A.R.T drive status:
During POST Use cmd by inputing
wmic diskdrive get

model, status
Testing the Power Supply
•Check the voltage requirements of the PSU.
•Check PSU using paper clip.
•Check PSU using multimeter.
Testing Power Supply
Steps in checking PSU using paper clip
1. Turn off the PSU and unplug the connectors.
2. Locate pin 16 and pin 17 on your
24-pin cable.
3. Bend your paper clip so the ends
can be inserted into pin 16 and pin 17.
4. Turn on the PSU. If the PSU fan turns, PSU is okay.
Steps in checking PSU using
Multimeter:
1. Set your multimeter to the
appropriate DC metering
mode according to the
manufacturer.
2. Know which pin is grounded
and not.
3. Place the black test lead in
contact with the 24th pin or
any of the other Ground pins.
3. While placing the black test lead
in a grounded pin, the red test lead
into the pins (Non-grounded)
individually to get a reading of the
voltages from your PSU.
4. The readouts
for a working PSU:
Testing the RAM
Bad RAM Issues:
1. The computer does not boot and A beeping sound is
hear.
2. Computer randomly reboots
Testing the RAM
3. Windows or other program installation failure.
4. There are random computer crashes causing the Blue
Screen of Death (BSOD), General Protection Fault Error
Messages, Illegal Operations, Fatal Exceptions, etc.
Testing the RAM
5. New RAM added.
Testing the RAM
Software Solutions:
• Windows Memory Diagnostic Tools

• Memtest86- An x86 compatible, free memory tester
• DocMemory
Testing the RAM
You can also swap and remove the RAM.

If the ram is completely broken, replace the RAM.
Testing the Motherboard and CPU
Bad Motherboard and CPU Issues:
1. The computer does not boot, but instead gives a beep
code.
2. The computer randomly crashes causing General
Protection Fault error messages, illegal operations, Fatal
exceptions, etc.
3. The computer suddenly reboots.
Visual Hardware Check (Motherboard)
Check for:
•Bulged or blown capacitors. Just in case:
Check For corrosion, for water
•Leaking Capacitors damage day be involved.
•Browning of the capacitors or Ics

Visual Hardware Check (CPU)
Check for:
•Bent Pins
Test Software issues through:
Hot CPU Tester – This tester includes
a burn-in feature for new computers
or computers with new motherboard
or CPU.
Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool
This can be used for computers
running on Intel processor. It is
a free utility for testing a variety
of Intel processors.
PC-doctor – A good, but quite
pricey software used by service
centers and technicians to
diagnose computer hardware
issues including motherboard
issues.
Ultra-X – A collection of products
that can be used to test computer
hardware, including the
motherboard.
If visual and software test doesn’t do its job, replace the
motherboard and CPU (Depends on which is broken).
Testing the Optical Drive
Bad Optical Drive Issues:
1. Errors when reading CD or DVD.
2. CDs or DVDs may not play the audio or video
properly.
Bad Optical Drive Issues:
3. CD or DVD programs may not install or may
encounter errors after being installed.
Hardware Solutions
•Clean the CD or DVD itself using a clean cloth.
•Use CD/DVD drive cleaning kit
Software Solutions
CD Roller – Program that
can be used to rest CD/
DVD drivers as well as
recover data from CDs
and DVDs
Software Solutions
CD Check – Another program
that can be used to check CD
drives (no DVD compatibility)
and can also recover data
from damaged disks.
Software Solutions
CD/DVD Diagnostic – Diagnostic programs from InfinaDyne
that is not only capable of
testing a drive and disc, as
well as recover data from
disks that have gone bad.
If the problem still persist, it is recommended to

replace the disc drive.
Testing the Network
To verify a functional network (General), we need
to:
Check Physical Connections
-The green and red light next to the RJ45 port
should light up.
Testing the Network
To verify a functional network (Network
Computers), we need to:
Verify that you can log on
-You should be able to log on using a valid domain
user account.
Testing the Network
To verify a functional network, we need to:
Check the network configuration
-input “ipconfig / all” in cmd. If IP address does not
show, check if configuration is correct and DHCP
servers are running properly.
Testing the Network
To verify a functional network, we need to:
Verify that computers can ping each other
-Input “ping (local host) in cmd. Example, “ping
192.168.2.108”.
WASTE MANAGEMENT
3 R’s of Waste Management
The principle of reducing waste, reusing and recycling

resources and products. In our case, waste from
electronics.
5S PRINCIPLE
A systematic way of organizing workplaces by

eliminating waste, improving flow, and reducing the
number of processes where possible. It originated from
Japan and first adopted by Toyota Motor Corporation.
Reduce
Reduce
Minimize the waste we produce through using things

for longer and not using disposable products.
Reduce
Reuse
Reuse
It involves the repeated use of items or parts of items
which still have usable aspects. In other words,
repurposing things.
Recycle Reduce
Reuse
Reuse
The use of waste itself as resources. Transforming waste
into something new.
Recycle Reduce
Reuse
5S PRINCIPLE Sort

tools, parts, and instructions from unneeded materials.

WASTE ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC
EQUIPMENT DIRECTIVE (WEEE)
WEEE, or the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment

Directive, is a piece of legislation introduced into UK
law in 2007 by the Waste Electronic and Electrical
Equipment Regulations 2006.
EQUIPMENT (WEEE) DIRECTIVE
The goal of the WEEE Directive is to reduce the amount

of electrical and electronic equipment that is produced
and sent to landfill and to also to promote the recycling,
reuse and recovery of valuable electronics resources that
can be repurposed
Objectives of WEEE Directive
•Preventing the creation of WEEE as a first priority.
•contributing to the efficient use of resources and the retrieval of
secondary raw materials through re-use, recycling and other
forms of recovery.
•improving the environmental performance of everyone involved
in the life cycle of EEE (electrical and electronic equipment).
Needed to Achieve Objectives, the Directive
• requires the separate collection and proper treatment of WEEE
and sets targets for their collection as well as for their recovery
and recycling.
• helps European countries fight illegal waste exports more
effectively by making it harder for exporters to disguise illegal
shipments of WEEE
Needed to Achieve Objectives, the Directive
•reduces the administrative burden by calling for the
harmonization of national EEE registers and of the
reporting format
Waste electronics that fall under WEEE regulations
The cover of this directive are those
who:
•Produce or Store Waste
•Collect and Transport Waste
•Treatment Facilities
Additional Information:
As the symbol suggest, sending
electrical and electronic waste
straight to the garbage bin is
prohibited by this legislation.
EQUIPMENT DIRECTIVE (WEEE)
Additional Information:
In this legislation, it is illegal to for any businesses to
send hazardous waste, such as fluorescent tubes and
batteries, to landfills.
