D. Discussing new
concepts and practicing Demonstrating the Use of a Multimeter to Check Electrical
new skills #1 (Modeling) Continuity
A multimeter is a vital tool for diagnosing electrical issues in
computer systems and other electronic devices. To check
electrical continuity using a multimeter:
1. Set the Multimeter to Continuity Mode:
o Turn the multimeter dial to the continuity symbol
(usually a diode or sound wave icon).
o If your multimeter has a beeping function, it will sound
when there is continuity.
2. Check the Multimeter Probes:
o Insert the black probe into the COM (common) port and
the red probe into the voltage/ohm port (usually
labeled "VΩ").
o Touch the probes to the two points in the circuit or
component you're testing.
3. Test for Continuity:
o Place the probes at the two ends of the wire, circuit, or
component you wish to test.
o If the circuit is complete (good continuity), the
multimeter will beep or show a low resistance value
(close to zero ohms).
o If there's no beep or the display shows infinite
resistance, the circuit is broken or open.
 Safety Protocols During Computer Servicing
When performing computer servicing, safety is paramount to
avoid accidents, equipment damage, and electrical hazards.
Here are the safety protocols:
1. Power Off and Unplug the System:
o Always ensure the computer is powered off and
unplugged from the electrical outlet before servicing.
This prevents electrical shock and protects sensitive
components.
2. Use Anti-Static Wrist Straps:
o Wear an anti-static wrist strap connected to a
grounded surface to prevent electrostatic discharge
(ESD), which can damage sensitive computer
components like the motherboard, RAM, and CPU.
3. Keep Tools Insulated:
o Use insulated tools to avoid accidental short circuits
when working inside the computer or with electrical
components.
4. Be Mindful of Cables and Connections:
o Ensure all cables are neatly managed and out of the
way to avoid tripping hazards or unintentional
disconnections.
5. Work in a Dry Area:
o Avoid working in damp or wet environments to reduce
the risk of electrical shock.
6. Avoid Forceful Handling of Components:
o When handling parts like RAM, hard drives, or
processors, use gentle force and avoid bending pins or
applying excessive pressure that could damage
components.
7. Wear Safety Glasses (Optional):
o If you are working with tools that could cause debris
(e.g., when removing a stuck screw), consider wearing
safety glasses to protect your eyes.

E. Discussing new
concepts and practicing
Group Activity
new skills #2 (Guided
Practice) Instructions:
1. Pair Up Students: Divide the class into pairs to foster
teamwork and interaction. Each pair will be assigned the task
of identifying basic components inside a system unit (desktop
or tower).
2. Provide the Sample System Unit: If possible, have a real
system unit (or a clear diagram or labeled photo) available. If
you don’t have one, you can use a virtual or digital image of
 a system unit with labels for the parts.
3. Ask Students to Identify Parts: Guide the students through
the system unit and ask them to identify the following basic
components:
o Motherboard: The main circuit board containing the
CPU, memory, and other critical components.
o CPU (Central Processing Unit): The "brain" of the
computer that processes instructions.
o RAM (Random Access Memory): Temporary storage
used by the CPU for fast data access.
o Power Supply Unit (PSU): Provides electrical power to
the system.
o Storage Device: Either a Hard Disk Drive (HDD) or
Solid-State Drive (SSD) that stores data.
o Optical Drive (optional in some modern units): A drive
for reading/writing CDs/DVDs.
o Expansion Cards: Such as graphics cards, sound cards,
or network cards.
o Cooling System: Fans or liquid cooling that prevent
components from overheating.
4. Provide Clues and Definitions: As students work, provide hints
about each part’s function. For example:
o "This part stores data even when the computer is
turned off" (HDD/SSD).
o "This part keeps the system cool by blowing air across
critical components" (Cooling fan).
5. Student Report-Out: After the activity, have each pair present
the parts they identified and their functions to the class. This
fosters discussion and reinforces learning.

G. Finding practical Discuss how Computer System Servicing Can Save Money and
applications of concepts Improve Productivity
and skills in daily living
Computer system servicing is essential for maintaining the optimal
(Application/Valuing)
performance of devices. Whether at home, in school, or at work,
regular servicing ensures that computers remain functional, reliable,
and efficient. Here's how it saves money and boosts productivity:
1. Saving Money
Avoids Costly Repairs: Regular servicing helps identify potential
problems early, such as overheating or failing hard drives.
Addressing these issues before they worsen can prevent expensive
repairs or replacements.
Extends Equipment Lifespan: Proper maintenance ensures that
computers function efficiently for a longer time, delaying the need
for costly upgrades or replacements.
Reduces Energy Costs: Cleaning components, such as fans and
power supplies, improves efficiency, which can lower energy
consumption.
Minimizes Downtime: Preventative maintenance reduces
unexpected breakdowns, avoiding disruptions that might require
urgent professional repair services.
2. Improving Productivity
Faster Performance: Regular servicing, including tasks like cleaning
and defragmenting hard drives or updating software, keeps systems
running faster and smoother, allowing users to complete tasks
efficiently.
Reduced Downtime: Functional and well-maintained systems are
less likely to crash, ensuring uninterrupted work or study.
Enhanced Reliability: With fewer hardware failures and software
glitches, users can trust their systems to perform when needed.
Better User Experience: A clean and optimized system provides a
smoother, stress-free experience, enabling users to focus on their
tasks.
Practical Examples
At Home:
A family using a desktop for online shopping, schoolwork, and
streaming can avoid disruptions by regularly checking for malware,
updating software, and ensuring hardware is clean and functional.
In School:
 Regularly serviced computer labs ensure that students and teachers
have reliable access to educational tools, preventing delays in
lessons and exams.
At Work:
Businesses rely on computers for critical operations like data entry,
communication, and inventory management. Maintaining these
systems reduces the risk of productivity loss due to technical issues.
