As-Is Laptops
Goals
- Learn to use the Laptop Build Room tools to identify hardware components.
- Practice installing and removing hardware.
- Get some practice using the Power-On Self-Test (POST) Troubleshooting guide in the Appendix of your Laptop Build Binder.
1. Data security check

2. Find an appropriate AC adapter
Template: AC_Adapter
3. POST
☐ Try turning the machine on.
- If the system loads the BIOS splash screen, you can move to the next step.
- If the system does not boot, or appears to have screen or video problems, use sections 1 and 2 only in the Laptop POST Troubleshooting Guide in the Appendix.
- As-Is laptops with video or screen problems should be recyled unless they are high-end systems. Double-check with your instructor if you are not sure. Use the Recycle guide in your binder.
