Next, the investigator soldered all of the electrical wires between the components of the device. Once that was done, the spade connectors came into use. With paperclips bent to look like bug antennae, the spade connectors were connected to the paperclips with more heat shrinking tubing. These were then attached to the SPDT switches with glue.

If I am having an issue with wires it may be caused by a break or crack in the wire. First thing I need to do is unplug the power to my computer and bring out any cables that I am planning on testing for easy access. I can disconnect both ends of the wire and put my multimeter to the Ohms setting. Then put my positive and negative ends of my multimeter on the separate ends of the wire to see if the wire has continuity. (Sears PartsDirect, 2015)

Though I haven't worked in the field for more than fifteen years as a full-time tech, I still fixed and repaired items with the knowledge that I acquired from school and side jobs. The passion to work with electronics is still strong with me and this is why I want to return to this career. I feel that the experience I have gained from working on computers and small electronic items will be greatly beneficial to any

I have taken a part so many devices for the purpose of learning. Some of the devices I was able to put back others failed. One of these failures devices was HDD (Hard Disk Drive). HDD is the most delicate device in the computer. I took carefully the HDD drive apart to see and learning how does it work and function. But as careful I was the device still failed because the device was too delicate the smallest mistake will brake some of the parts and the device was complex to put back together. Also my 2nd HDD failed as I was cleaning my computer because dust went inside. So If I was to redesign the HDD I would make some of the parts more rigid and not easy to brake, also cover the hard drive with a protective case to prevent dust, and liquid from going inside.

For damage that just involves the plastic casing and not the wires inside, you could make an easy fix with some electrical tape.

The third piece was the easiest to remove and replace. It did not have a direct impact but it was still a possibility due to some interconnecting cables that could have been damaged.

As I stared at the once-working cartridge in my hands, I felt as though someone had had snapped a chord inside of me; my cheeks ached from suppressed tears. I looked up at my dad, hoping he could fix it for me. However, he simply shook his head and said, “I’m sorry, I can’t.”

Here are three misconceptions appliance repair technicians hear all the time, set straight for you.

Electrical Repairs: Like plumbing, one might be able to handle any minor electrical repairs, like changing a light switch. It’s when one is required to make fixes to circuits that cause house fires, electrocutions, and even death. Experienced electricians are the only ones capable to handle these repairs, so consult one before exposing you or your home to any real harm.

8. Check the parts you have removed and identify which ones need to be replaced.

I remember going to my grandparents’ house for summer vacation and having an amazing time because my grandpa, a retired electrician, would let me take apart anything that I wanted. He fixed old electronics, especially radios, to make some extra money to help out our family. He would let me have the ones that didn’t work and ask me to try to fix them. Usually I was not able to fix them on my own so my grandfather would help me find the problem and come up with a solution, regardless of whether the problem was as small as replacing a fuse, or as big as having to resolder a circuit board. Because we lived in a poor neighborhood, everyone would ask me to fix their broken appliances, especially televisions. The act of taking televisions apart, and

I had a laurastar G2 Steamax for ten years and within the ten years, I had the Iron repaired! Not replaced! Approximately “8” times, and every time it was for the same reason due to the switches both buttons (turn on and steam button) became stuck and when I turn on the power it would short-circuit the whole house!!! AAHHH. My husband and I couldn’t believe how expensive it became for just two buttons to replace.

In most cases, computer controlled machinery affixes components onto the casing using advanced adhesives. However, because of incompatibility issues between materials, the batteries and electric motors have to be bolted on to the casing by hand, using power tools. Operatives work on the line, each making an average of 12 bolts onto the casing, ie, 1 person bolts the battery and then someone further down the line bolts the electric motor. The inspection section for the back casing of the body is the most active, the rejection rate for loose components at this point is approximately 1.2 %. A further 0.5% are rejected at final inspection, causing expensive rework situations. There is a staff turnover of 25% per annum amongst such operatives in the back casing sub assembly section.
