#9 is kind of ambiguous. I'd find it cheaper to replace the motherboard, but it would take a lot more effort to move the parts onto the new motherboard, and I suppose I'm more knowledgable on gaming GPUs, so to me I'd consider replacing the motherboard to be a cheaper option, but you can probably find 30$ gpus out there that'd be a suffice replacement.
I agree with the wording of the question is disingenious. The question never mentioned anything about the internet. It just said network to which switches also transfers packets across. I would argue about this one too.
For Question 21, how does a Firewall help in enforcing Network Access policies for BYOD users? Firewalls usually sit between the internet and the intranet controlling incoming and outgoing traffic and through which ports they can go to. I was under the impression that Network Access Policies for BYOD devices would be more about controlling which users would be able to access the network with their devices which would fall under the domain of a NAC system or an ACL (access control list) which are found on many routers nowadays. For sure routers are definitely a part of network access control.
Question 8 is pretty dumb for a couple reasons. First, a devices manual wont give you any information about disassembling a device. Second, for most cellphones and tablets magnetic drivers are perfectly safe and widely used in the repair industry. A better answer would be "making contact with the motherboard with a magnetic driver"
Q1 why wouldn't it be ping? Wouldn't that be the simplest solution to check whether employee knows what he/she is talking about? Why start digging under the table looking for Ethernet cable? Also this question doesn't specify if we are talking about laptop or desktop. If the user has a laptop with a possible WiFi connection, that would be even more illogical to be looking for Ethernet cable.
@@OTB2002 Why? Most of the time it will be software that will screw up. I can't tell you how many times reboot fixed an issue for me. Especially on older OS. What is the chance of RJ45 disconnecting from the port?
well to be frank, try pinging your router when you're not even connected to it. If there's no IP address to ping and you're not even connected to a LAN that option doesn't work. Nor would IPconfig as you won't even be connected to the gateway. That implies there's a hardware issue somewhere and it likely isn't the router
Because it can be something as simple as the Ethernet not being plugged in all the way. Or damage to the cable. You always check the simplest solution first
If these style of questions are coming in the exam, I'm fucked. I have not found another test or video with so many tricky questions that I have gotten wrong.
Question #9 makes absolutely no sense. Depending on the cost of video cards, installing a new one is not always cost-effective, especially when the DVI is faulty, the next best possible solution should be, "D. Try using an adapter". Also. what if we're working with an ITX or even with micro-ATX with the rest of the PCIE slots full???
You are completely wrong. They're talking about BUILT-IN DVI connector as in it's soldered onto the motherboard. Adapter won't do squat for you as the DVI connector itself is damaged! Bypassing the DVI connector with cheap video card is the best option. You can buy ANY PCIe Video card to regain functionality. Finding same model of motherboard and replacing all the components on it would be so tedious if you are even able to find same motherboard after prolonged use of your current system. Video card on the other hand doesn't matter brand or generation as long as it's the correct video slot.
If the DVI port is faulty, and if it's the only integrated video output, then using an adapter would achieve nothing, though it is still probably a good step to take before purchasing and installing a graphics card, since you don't know if the system is even capable of powering it. Even lower power cards like the xx50 series Nvidia cards can overload a cheap PSU if the machine wasn't designed around the extra wattage. A lot of these scenarios also assume a lot of things. If this machine came into a repair shop I was running, a very honest conversation would be had around whether the customer was ready to upgrade to a new machine. I would mostly agree with the solution given as the FIRST real step that would fix the problem, because it would still be cheaper and faster than a full MOBO swap out, assuming the DVI port IS actually dead and there are no other video outs.
I think based on the wording its not a high end system. In that case a basic video card would require far less work and would cost less than finding the same exact board.
@@Djmiddlekauff At that point, I'm not suggesting a MOBO swap to the same board. That statement was made in the paragraph where I was referring to an upgrade. Ultimately, this was a pretty badly designed test question that has a lot more complexity in the real world.
