The process of carefully taking apart a computer to access its internal components. This is typically done for repair, upgrades, or troubleshooting.

Disassembly is done for various reasons, such as identifying and fixing problems, replacing faulty parts, or modifying the computer system.

Before disassembling a computer, it's crucial to unplug it from the power source and wear an anti-static wrist strap to prevent electrical shocks and damage to components.

The first step in disassembly often involves removing the side panel of the computer case. This might require unscrewing specific screws or releasing latches, depending on the case design.

Various cables connect the motherboard to other internal components. Carefully disconnecting these cables is vital before removing components.

Once the cables are disconnected, each component can be removed gently. Securely store screws and other small parts to prevent loss.

It's essential to document the connection points and positions of internal components before disassembly. Taking photographs or diagrams can help during reassembly.

After completing repairs or modifications, the computer can be put back together carefully, ensuring all cables and components are correctly reconnected.
