To replace the battery, the customer may need to follow different steps depending on the type of phone and battery. Some phones have removable batteries that can be easily accessed by opening the back cover of the phone and sliding out the old battery. Other phones have non-removable batteries that are sealed inside the phone and require special tools and skills to open the phone and disconnect the old battery.

  A technician is upgrading a computer OS from Windows 7 to Windows 10. During the OS installation, the system is not able to find the hard drive. Which of the following can the technician do to MOST likely fix the issue?

  A. Change the partition to MBR
  B. Load the HDD drivers using a flash drive.
  C. Upgrade the RAM modules.
  D. Replace the hard drive.
  B. Load the HDD drivers using a flash drive.

  ---

  Explanation

  Loading the hard disk drive (HDD) drivers using a flash drive is the most likely action that can fix the issue of a computer not being able to find the hard drive during an OS installation from Windows 7 to Windows 10. The HDD may have a different interface or controller than what Windows 10 supports by default, such as SATA or RAID, which would require loading additional drivers during the installation process. The technician can use a flash drive to load the drivers from another device or source. Changing the partition to MBR, upgrading the RAM modules, or replacing the hard drive are not likely to fix the issue, as they are not related to the HDD drivers

  A. Coaxial
  B. Shielded Cat 6
  C. Plenum Cat 5e
  D. Multimode fiber
  B. Shielded Cat 6

  ---

  Explanation

  Electromagnetic interference (EMI) is unwanted noise or interference in an electrical path or circuit caused by an outside source. Hence shielded Cat 6 is better If a technician determines that the root cause of sporadic network connectivity issues is EMI, the most cost-effective cable medium that can be used without sacrificing system performance is shielded Cat 6 cable. Shielded cables protect against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI).

  F. Schedule timed router reboots throughout the day.
  A. Identify the location of devices that utilize 2.4GHz.
  D. Map all of the wireless signals in the restaurant.

  ---

  Explanation

  The correct answers are A. Identify the location of devices that utilize 2.4GHz and

  D. Map all of the wireless signals in the restaurant. In order to troubleshoot the issue, the technician should first identify the location of devices that utilize the 2.4GHz frequency, as this can cause interference with the wireless signal. Additionally, the technician should map all of the wireless signals in the restaurant in order to identify any potential sources of interference. Checking to see if the phones are IJTP or STP lines, testing to see if the copper electrical wires are causing interference, verifying T568B is being used in the wiring closet patch panel, and scheduling timed router reboots throughout the day are not necessary steps for troubleshooting this issue.
