Typically Dangerous Hardware

BD.

The two components that are typically too dangerous to be disassembled by an in-house technician are:

D. CRT Monitor: CRT monitors, also known as cathode ray tube monitors, use high voltage electricity to create images on the screen. These monitors contain capacitors that can hold an electrical charge even after the monitor has been unplugged. Disassembling a CRT monitor can be hazardous due to the risk of electric shock.

B. Power Supply: A power supply unit (PSU) converts AC power from the wall outlet into DC power that can be used by the computer components. PSUs can hold electrical charges even when unplugged, and their capacitors can discharge a dangerous electrical shock. Additionally, some PSUs have exposed metal parts that can cause physical injury if not handled properly.

The other components listed may have their own set of risks associated with disassembly, but they are not typically considered too dangerous for an in-house technician to handle.

A. LCD Monitor: LCD monitors do not use high voltage electricity like CRT monitors, so they do not pose the same electrical shock risk. However, they do contain fragile components, such as the backlight, that can be easily damaged during disassembly.

C. Laptop Screen: Similar to LCD monitors, laptop screens do not pose a significant electrical shock risk, but they are fragile and can be easily damaged during disassembly.

E. Motherboard: Disassembling a motherboard can be challenging, but it does not pose a significant safety risk to the technician. The main risk is damage to the delicate components, such as the CPU or RAM.

F. Tablet: Tablets are typically designed to be difficult to disassemble, but they do not pose a significant safety risk to the technician. The main risk is causing damage to the device during disassembly.
