Computer Disassembly Project



Ryan and I have disassembled a Compaq DeskPro with Pentium III processor. In order to disassemble the computer, first we had to remove the case by pressing two side buttons that unlock the case. Next we removed all the power and data cables and immediately begun removing actual hardware. The power supply was our first choice which then was followed by the RAM sticks (a flick of two fasteners removed this) and the hard drive. For the hard drive a green plastic sheath covered it, this was unscrewed, as well as the network card which was after. Connected to the network card was the sound card, this had to be unscrewed in order to remove these parts. Next we proceeded with the cooling fan accompanied by the CD-Rom and Floppy drive. Lastly we removed the back up battery and speaker, this concludes our computer disassemble project.
