Week 2

This week was interesting. On Monday, we got to take apart a Dell computer and put it back together from scratch. I was surprised how little parts a computer has. It was somewhat difficult to figure out how all the parts were connected and I had to remember which cables connected to which parts of the motherboard. However, I could take pictures and use the app iFixit so I used it whenever I got lost. In Java class, we learned escape sequences and operation signs. We learned how to use them to express mathematical equations and other formatting ways. We also started fixing clients' computers in tech support. Me and Izza had a Compaq laptop that didn't turn on and Zaid, the guest speaker helped us determine the problem which was really helpful. We first resetted the CMOS battery but the laptop still didn't work so we concluded it was the motherboard that was broken. All in all, this week was pretty good.
