Hands-on Computer Hardware Maintenance Lab

he Hands-on Computer Hardware Maintenance Lab provided students with practical experience in computer repair and hardware maintenance through real-world laboratory activities. During the session, students learned how to identify computer hardware components, safely install and replace RAM and SSDs, assemble and disassemble desktop computers, and diagnose common hardware issues. Working in a professional laboratory environment equipped with networking racks and computer repair tools, students applied industry best practices for preventive maintenance, hardware troubleshooting, and system performance optimization. The practical exercises encouraged teamwork, problem-solving, and technical confidence while reinforcing the theoretical knowledge learned in the classroom. This laboratory session aims to prepare students with the essential technical skills required for careers in IT support, computer maintenance, system administration, and computer engineering by providing valuable hands-on experience with modern computer hardware.
