            Computer hardware servicing involves the maintenance and repair of physical components in a computer system. Basic concept include identifying and trouble shooting hardware issues, assembling and disassembling components, and understanding safety precautions when working with electronic devices. These fundamental concepts form the basis for effective computer hardware servicing.

Computer Identification: Recognizing and identifying various hardware components such as CPU, RAM, motherboard, hard drive, etc., is fundamental in hardware servicing.

Assembling and Disassembling: Understanding how to properly assemble and disassemble a computer is crucial for task like upgrade or repairs.

Troubleshooting: Developing skills to diagnose and troubleshoot hardware issues, such as faulty RAM or malfunctioning hard drive, is a key aspect of hardware.

Power Supply Knowledge: Knowing about power supply units, their types, and troubleshooting                   power-related problem is essential.

Safety Measures: Adhering to safety precautions to protect oneself and the equipment from electrostatic discharge, voltage fluctuations, and other potential hazards.

Peripheral Devices: Understanding how to install, troubleshoot, and replace peripheral devices like printers, scanners, and external drives.

BIOS/UEFI Setup: Familiarity with accessing and configuring the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) or Unifies Extensible Firmware Interface ( UEFI) for system settings.

Data Backup and Recovery: Knowing how to backup and restore data, as well as recovering data from a malfunctioning system.

Hardware Compatibility: Understanding compatibility issues when upgrading or replacing components to ensure all parts work seamlessly together.
