-: In this section of the course,
we're going to cover the different types of hardware
associated with laptops
and how to install and configure them.
This includes things like the internal battery of a laptop,
its internal keyboard, its memory,
its expansion cards, and its internal storage.
So in this section of the course,
we're going to jump into laptop hardware
by completing our coverage of Domain 1, Mobile Devices.
As we go through this section,
we're going to fully cover Objective 1.1.
Objective 1.1 states,
"That given a scenario,
you must be able to install and configure laptop hardware."
As we begin this section,
we're going to first take a look
at the different security components in a laptop,
including biometrics, and near-field scanner features,
that are sometimes embedded into that device.
Next, we're going to move into
the methods and safety precautions
to utilize when disassembling a laptop,
in order to access its different hardware components.
Then, we're going to move into a demonstration
to show you how to replace a battery in a laptop.
After that, I'm going to demonstrate
how to replace a keyboard of a laptop,
as well as how to upgrade the memory within the laptop.
Then, we'll move into our coverage
of the expansion cards for laptops,
and how you perform this type of upgrade.
Finally, we're going to move into our coverage
of how you can replace the storage device in a laptop,
in order to increase its capabilities.
So let's get started with our coverage of laptop hardware,
in this section of the course.
