Disassembling a computer requires a clean, static-free workspace. It is crucial to use an anti-static wrist strap to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD), which can irreversibly damage delicate electronic components. Before starting, ensure that the computer is completely powered off and disconnected from the wall outlet, and that capacitors are discharged. The necessary tools include screwdrivers, pliers, and plastic spudgers that can safely pry components apart without causing damage. The workspace should be well-lit and organized, ideally with anti-static mats to prevent any unintended electric buildup. Participants will also learn the importance of using a magnetic parts tray to keep track of small parts and screws, which helps maintain an organized workspace and reduces the risk of losing essential pieces.
