A step-by-step process of Assembling and Disassembling a computer

Summary

The video demonstrates how to disassemble and reassemble a computer system unit, then check that it starts and responds properly.

Disassembly

1. Shut down the computer and unplug the power cable and peripherals, such as the monitor, keyboard, mouse, and USB devices.
2. Lay the case on its side, remove the rear screws, and gently slide off the side panel.
3. Disconnect the power cables connected to the motherboard, drives, and other components.
4. Remove the RAM by pressing its retaining clips and lifting it out.
5. Unscrew and carefully remove the power supply.
6. Unscrew the motherboard from the case standoffs and carefully lift it out.

The parts shown as removed include the power supply, storage device, RAM, and motherboard.

Reassembly and Testing

1. Align the motherboard with the case standoffs and screw it in place.
2. Fit and secure the power supply in its case slot.
3. Reconnect the power cables, including SATA power to the drives.
4. Align the RAM notch with its slot and press it in until the clips lock.
