Development of a Rule-Based Laptop Damage Diagnostic Expert System Using the Forward Chaining Method
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study developed a rule-based expert system to diagnose laptop damage using the forward chaining method to make it easier for users to identify damage independently. This system was built through stages of needs analysis, knowledge base design containing 32 symptoms and 27 IF–THEN rules, diagnosis interface implementation, and functional testing and validation by experts. Black-box testing results show that all features function properly, while expert validation on 15 cases yields 80% accuracy, indicating that the system is capable of providing a reasonably accurate initial diagnosis. These findings indicate that the forward chaining method is effective in tracing symptoms to damage conclusions, although additional rules are still needed to address similar symptom patterns. Overall, this system provides practical benefits as a laptop troubleshooting tool and contributes to the application of rule-based reasoning methods in the context of electronic devices.
