Assemble a Computer
You will be assembling a computer in this graded part of the chapter! It's a straightforward process but you may encounter a few bugs in the graded plugin.
Here are a couple of workarounds/tips and troubleshooting steps that help past learners get through these glitches.
As with the other quizzes, you will have 3 retakes before it locks you out for 8 hours! Make sure to review the content and reread the instructions so you don't miss any steps.
Drag & Drop bug
Drag & Drop bug
Sometimes, when you try to drag the components to their corresponding slot, it glitches to another slot.
Click the slot instead
To avoid this, you can click on the slot that you wish to work on. It will open a drop-down menu of the components that are still available. Then simply select the right part for the slot!
CPU Slot
Don't forget that the CPU slot needs 4 components and they need to be put in the correct order! A lot of past learners missed this and have failed the quiz due to it.
Check Button
Also, don't forget to click the "Check" button to see if you've successfully assembled a computer! If you did, a window will pop up saying you scored 100%! Then you can submit your work!
Video Tutorials
Video Tutorials
These are two videos that helped past learners understand the concept of building a PC. The first video showcases the general idea of how to build a PC.
Note: The parts that you'll see in the videos may differ from the quiz (due to them using more complex parts). However, the general idea and the concept of building a PC are the same.
POV video
The second video goes into more detail by providing a POV of building one in real-time. Note: The parts that you'll see in the videos may differ from the quiz (due to them using more complex parts). However, the general idea and the concept of building a PC are the same.
