Physical – Events or attacks that steal, damage, or destroy equipment, such as servers, switches, and wiring

chapter 6 sumary

in chapter 6 we have been learning the diffrences beetwen laptops/ desktops/mobile phones and pda’s and all of these are called portable devices . in this summary i will explan the uses of laptops and desktops pda’s and phones and which one i think is the better one. watch?v=hto_C-SreLY a common use of a laptop is for when you go to school it is something you can carry around with you easily because it is really light.you can play games on the move,watching movies on the move and sending and recivind emails in a public place and ofcourse you can use it to do home work every now and then Laptops and desktops have ports that are virtually the same; therefore, the peripherals are interchangeable. Laptops can use docking stations or port replicators to quickly connect to desktop peripherals and AC power. The laptop CPU is designed to use less power and create less heat than the desktop computer. It uses CPU throttling to reduce power consumption and heat. An important component of laptop portability is the ability to run on battery power. The current method of managing power is through the operating system with the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI). The ACPI standard defines six power management states. Cell phone standards were developed in the 1980s. The current third-generation standards enable cell phones to share some laptop functions, such as e-mail, Internet access, address, and calendar functions. Standards have not been adopted worldwide. Troubleshooting laptop problems requires the technician to identify, repair, and document the problem. Troubleshooting steps include: Gather data from customer, verify the obvious issues, try quick solutions first, gather data from the computer, evaluate the problem, implement the solution, and close with the customer.

  • Check for external problems, such as connection errors, power errors, and function key errors. Connection errors can often be solved by removing and reinserting components. Check in Device Manager for errors. Power errors can be caused by the use of incorrect adaptors, damaged batteries, damaged AC adaptors, or dead wall outlets. Check components controlled by Function keys.
  • Try quick solutions first to solve laptop problems. Reboot and verify the BIOS settings, start the laptop in safe mode, and use the Last Known Good Configuration Option.
