Computer malfunctions can range from a minor setting that is incorrect, to spyware, viruses, and as far as replacing hardware and an entire operating system. While computer hardware configurations vary widely, a "Computer OEM & Repair" technician will work with five general categories of hardware; desktop computers, laptops, servers, computer clusters and smartphones / mobile computing. Technicians also work with and occasionally repair a range of peripherals, including input devices (like keyboards, mice, and scanners), output devices (like displays, printers, and speakers), and data storage devices such as internal and external hard drives and disk arrays. Technicians involved in system administration might also work with networking hardware, including routers, switches, fiber optics, and wireless networks. OEM= Original Equipment Manufacturer.

Peripheral
* Any auxiliary device which
connects to and works with the
computer in some way.
A peripheral is a "device that is
used to put information into or get
information out of the computer.
Peripheral devices can be external or
internal.

Three general categories:
1. Input devices
2. Outputdevices
3. Storage devices
An output device reverses the process,
translating the digitized signals into a
form intelligible to the user

4. Input Devices Output devices Both input-output devices
Mouse Monitor Modems
Keyboard Printers (all types) Network cards
