During the school holiday that just passed, I attended a computer course organized by Compusonic Computer Centre (CCC). It is a 2-day course and 12 hours long. As I was quite free, so I think it was a quite good chance to learn how to assembly a computer.
Only 3 people including me joined the course. Quite pity as I can say. No matter how, we were all very exciting and curious about the course. It costed about RM300.
The first day, The tutor, Loh explains the theory and history about the computer. This part was quite similiar to the history lesson. It was just that you are learning the history of the silicon and binary number system, not the Malaysia history. Loh was very emphasis on the theory part as it is the basic. So to those who are planning to take similiar course, I hope that you won't ignore that part.
After lunch time, we were told to read manuals. 3 of us got shocked. Honestly it was very boring. You need to read through many manual books such as the motherboard, casing and etc. There is no shortcut when learning. Meanwhile, Loh brought us some used CPU and some tools.
Before disassembly the part, you need to ground yourself. You just need to insert a test pen into the ground connection of the socket. You just need to touch your finger to the test pen for about few seconds. Don't try this at home if you really understand what I am saying just now.
So, let the party begins. We were trying to taking out all the parts until the CPU was left with the casing and PSU. It was not a quite hard job. We were told to put back all the parts. The complicated part is not putting all the parts back. It was the wiring problem. The PSU has quite an ammount of wire. So this was quite tough. Unfortunately, all three of us can't finished in time. So we decided the next day to continue.
The second day and also the final lesson, again still quite confusing with the wiring. So the only way was to ask for Loh help. So with the generous help by Loh, we managed to settle the problem. Than it was the time to try out whether the system functional or not.
3 of us passed the challenge. Loh also taught us the BIOS settings and how to install the Windows XP. For the final challenges, we were asked to find the drivers. It was a piece of cake for me as I am quite often doing this job. My other 2 partners weren't in good condition. They can't find the drivers the needed. But eventually they found out with the aid by Loh.
From that course, I found out that only through practical you only can learn how to do assmbly the parts. You also need to update yourself. The course only provided some historical parts such as socket 478 or AGP graphuc card. So at least after attending the course which I know more or less how to assembly, I have the gut to assembly the parts.
So that's the end of the course. If anyone interested or wanted to join the course, please refer call 04-2827268 or log onto http://www.compusonic.com.my/.
