Mendeteksi Hardware Yang Masih Berfungsi Baik Dan Hardware Yang Sudah Rusak Dengan Knoppix Live Linux

Abstract

Many types of computer components is sometimes difficult for users to detect whether or not worthy of such components can be reused or disposed of must alias is not used anymore. Of course, if a component fails. Users must purchase a new component to replace the faulty component. However, many of the users sometimes do not know how to find these components is still proper to use or not and how to detect the condition of the component. So that computer users are forced to pay for the check which component is faulty? Of course this is a field for businesses that sell services teknics computer to check the hardware problem. This type of qualitative research is descriptive. Data collection technique used observation and documentation. Analysis of data using qualitative analysis. The results showed that (1) Actually, there are approximately 12 processes in the detection of computer hardware in the knoppix live linux. Under the category of computer hardware can be divided into 3 parts: RAM, Memory, and Input devices (input) and output (output). (2) Criteria for the hardware components in a computer works with the normal specification is detected by a knoppix live linux distro, the device serves as the destination device is created. For example, if the "sound card" detected but could not hear the sound from the speakers when playing a song. Then most likely the device is damaged. If not, the possibility of such devices are not compatible with the knoppix distro. (3) In outline, the detection of damage to the hardware on linux knoppix live quite easily. The first, the device must be detected by the distro knoppix specifications at the time of the automatic device detection. When the console displays "not found" means the device is damaged and must be replaced. Meanwhile, when the console displays "undefined" then it could be updated in order to identify distro knoppixnya devices. Then if the device successfully detected. Continue to the next stage, the device is fine. In the second stage after successfully detected its specifications. When functioning as it should mean the device is still fit for use. Whereas when there is interference at the time the device is functioning, it means the device is not functioning optimally. Then if it does not work at all, it means the hardware has to be replaced, because it is damaged. Key word: Hardware Detection, Knoppix Live Linux, Error in Hardwar
