 What’s In

This module is packed with the basic lessons on testing electronic

components, in a way which addresses your learning needs, aligned with the
safety precautions set by OHS and 5’S standards.
Before going over to the basics of testing electronic components (TEC),
let us start first with an exercise that may help you determine your prior
learnings, and help you open the door to what’s new about this module.

 What’s New

This module includes some of the tools and standard procedures you
have learned from the previous lessons, which will be used in various testing

methods on electronic components.

This module also introduces digital testing tools and advance methods

The Tools
Based on the older practices and references, Voltmeters and Multi-
meters were used to test power output on computer power supplies. Testing
was done terminal to terminal and point to point of the circuit or component.

some methods will fail in some cases.

For instance, the Beep Analyzing method, as mentioned above, will

fail when the on board speaker or buzzer of a motherboard is dead because
the test personnel cannot hear a beeping sound anymore. So, instead of
counting the beeps, PC Analyzers display digits or codes to signify faults and

Obtaining the Job Order

A job order is a form containing specifications of a task to do. This
usually includes instructions
instructions,, date, and time to execute the order, address or
location of the worksite, the name of the client and his contacts
contacts,, and the name
of the technician
technician.. Either you’re a test personnel in an industry or a technician
in a shop, testing always uses the job order or the client requirements as the
guide. Below is a sample of a job order form.

components, the responsible personnel or the supervisor in your technical
department gives you the work instructions in a form of job orders to specify
the task to do.
On the other hand, testing on repair shops sometimes refers to job

orders given by the clients or customers. It is the client who gives the job, but
most of the time, technicians already know what to do if the shop is already
following standardized procedures.

Communicating or Reporting the Desired Method to Use.

The desired method that you are going to use must be reported or
communicated to the responsible person or the supervisors for verification
and approval, to ensure an efficient workflow and the success of the test.

Using the Appropriate Method

When a method and tools are approved for testing, it is considered the

 What’s More

Activity 2. The Job Order

Directions: Analyze the situation carefully. Create a sample job order on a

separate bond-paper with A4 size. This will be compiled with your

portfolio.

Assume you are the responsible personnel or the customer service

representative of a manufacturing company or a repair shop, and there comes
a customer (a client) who claims a warranty or needs a repair service of his
desktop which does not turn ON and keeps on beeping continuously. After an
interview with the client, you were able to record the details as follow:
The name of the customer is Mr. Rowel Avila. He lives in Poblacion,
Bonifac
Bon ifacio
io but the def
defec
ectiv
tive
e uni
unitt is in his office at Bon
Bonifa
ifacio
cio NHS, Liloan
Liloan,,
Bonifacio, Mis. Occ. Mr. Avila’s number is 0997-607-0691, but he is too busy
to attend with the repair service, so he instructed one of his staff named Arlyn
Besana to assist the technician. The staff can be reached at 0910-177-3320.
These are the only details you got.

Create a job order for Mr. Avila, so the technician will know the details
or specifics of the job. (refer to the example of the job order form on page 14,
Form 1).

Lesson
The Plan for Testing
2
What is It

Planning is a must before any action. Without a plan, a test process will fail,
or will not meet the job order or client requirements.

What Tools to use?

Always choose the right tools that will give you accurate results in a
lesser time. Thus, safety comes first. Always remember to check the selected
tools for functionality and serviceability conditions. You also need personal
protective equipment. Always be mindful of the things that bring hazards to
your health.

When to Start Testing?

After obtaining the job order or client requirements, you need to
determine the methods to use, the tools needed, and the amount of time to
finish the job. If everything is ready and set, then it is time to start the job.
Below is an example of a test plan.

Activity 3. The Test Plan

Directions: Refer to the situation in form 1 on page 16. Assume that the job
order was given by your supervisor. Make a test plan based on
the job order. Refer to the example of a test plan on page 19 ,
form 2. Write your answers on a separate bond-paper with A4
size. This will be compiled with your portfolio. Do it manually with
a pen and a ruler.

Test
st – the act of testing to validate if two points or
terminals are connected electrically to assure a continuous flow of
signal or electrical current. When a capacitor does not work, it
could be busted and broken.
This test is usually done with the use of a MULTITESTER. Each
probe of the tester is positioned on each terminal of the capacitor to
detect a response. If there is no response, then it is confirmed that
the capacitor is dead. Refer to the picture below:

performs as specified by the manufacturer. For example, if a processor is
intended to run with a HYPERTHREADING capabilities, then it should
work as expected.
This test is usually done with the use of software and utilities. An
example of this is the software called “Performance Test”. You can run this
software directly from a USB storage. This software is capable of testing

Overall, if the component is functioning well and performing as specified
by the manufacturer, then it is considered a quality product or serviceable

product.
