Computer Hardware & Software Maintenance (110101) — One‑Pager

Big Goals

• Identify/upgrade components; perform drivers/firmware updates and backups.
• Apply methodical troubleshooting; compare client OS management tools.
• Set up and document a basic SOHO network.

Evidence to Publish (Portfolio)

• Component ID gallery + build sheets.
• Maintenance log (drivers/firmware/backups) with before/after notes.
• Two troubleshooting write‑ups (one success, one dead‑end with root‑cause analysis).
• SOHO network plan and checklist.

First 12‑Week Milestones

1) Safety + tools + component ID.
2) Drivers/firmware + backups.
3) Troubleshooting labs + reflections.
4) SOHO network setup doc.

Safety & Scope Guardrails

• Follow ESD and lab safety; instructor sign‑off before physical work.

• Backup first; never work on a device with real user data.

  Programming hours accumulate here via weekly portfolio sprints and tagged artifacts.
