Computer repair technicians adopt computer hardware and
software malfunctions and take the necessary steps to diagnose and ensure that
systems are returned to a usable state. Technicians also build and assemble
personal computers and servers and can configure local computer networks and
other related devices.
Computer repair technicians are primarily concerned with the
hardware of a computer, but are sometimes called upon to install or replace
drives, memory and cards. A computer repair technician may be required to
create a system from the components and load the operating system software onto
the hard drive. The technician will then identify and install the necessary
programs, called drivers, which allow the operating system software to work
with the hardware.
A computer repair technician will also work with the
computer software. Usually this is the operating system software. Computers can
get viruses or other malware infections and the technician may be called upon
to remove offensive programs.
If the operating system software does not work and cannot be
repaired, the technician usually backs up user data, if possible, and formats
the hard drive with a fresh copy of the operating system.
