Connect the laptop to an external monitor.
[When troubleshooting the built-in display, first check that the video card is good by using an external monitor. Toggle the appropriate Fn key.]

What may have happened if you cannot access the configuration utility in a RAID 1?

What is a situation where "soft skills" are NOT important?

When highly technical jargon is needed.
[Employers value ""soft skills,"" such as being able to communicate and use questioning. Additionally, employers value highly technical skills, language and abbreviations, but these may confuse a user that is not technically knowledgeable.]

Which of these can cause damage to a hard disk?

Sudden loss of power
[A sudden loss of power can damage a disk, especially if it is in the middle of a read/write operation.]

How can you troubleshoot a problem with a single host’s name resolution to a local LAN network?

Run nslookup to query the DNS server.
[If you identify or suspect a problem with name resolution, you can troubleshoot DNS with the nslookup command.]

After the boot sector code loads the OS files into system memory, what can the error messages you receive on your Windows 10 computer be attributed to?

Driver problems
[Error messages received after the boot sector code loads the OS files into system memory can usually be attributed to software (or driver) problems.]

What can control whether an external display duplicates or extends the built-in one?

OS display settings
[Windows display settings control whether the external display duplicates or extends the built-in one.]

What is NOT true about troubleshooting WiFi network problems?

There may be a problem with the Ethernet NIC.

What causes most paper jams?

Improper media and creases in paper
[Most paper jams arise because the media (paper or labels) is not suitable for the printer or because a sheet is creased, folded, or not loaded properly in the tray.]

What is true about integrated graphics in laptops?

Integrated graphics are part of the system chipset or CPU.
[Laptops often use an integrated graphics adapter that is part of the system chipset or CPU.]

What is true about RAID hardware configurations?

RAID hardware can be supported by the motherboard.
[A hardware solution means that creating volumes from an array of physical disks is an operation supported by a plug-in controller card or by the motherboard, independently of the installed operating system.]

When should you consider a workaround as solution to a non-critical IT problem?

When you want to be most cost-effective
[If the problem is not critical, and if neither repair nor replacement is cost-effective, it may be best either to find a workaround or just to document the issue and move on]

Make sure the adapter is enabled.
[If there is a problem with wireless, Bluetooth, or cellular data/GPS the first check to make is that the adapter is enabled, and that airplane mode has not been enabled.]

Which of these is true about Solid State Disks (SSDs)?
