While using a popular videoconferencing program, the user selects a webcam, but the software is unable to open the webcam. The webcam was working the previous day. Which of the following should be done to address this issue?


A. Close other video software and retry


B. Adjust the conference software to a compatible resolution


C. Switch the video from the webcam to "conference" mode


D. Reseat or replace the webcam





A.
  Close other video software and retry

One possible solution to address the issue of a webcam not working with a videoconferencing program is to close other video software and retry (option A). It’s possible that another video software program is currently using the webcam and preventing the videoconferencing program from accessing it. By closing any other video software that may be running on the computer, the user can ensure that the webcam is available for use by the videoconferencing program.

Which of the following components enables the input on a mobile device's touch screen?


A. OLED


B. Digitizer


C. Inverter


D. CMOS sensor





B.
  Digitizer

The digitizer is the component that enables input on a mobile device's touch screen. It is a transparent layer that sits over the screen and detects the location of touch inputs. OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) is a type of display technology. Inverter is a component used in older LCD displays to provide power to the backlight. CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) sensor is a type of image sensor used in digital cameras and smartphones to capture images.

A technician unboxed a new computer, plugged it in to a UPS. and connected the requested peripherals. The computer lights and fans turn on, but the technician hears three loud, consecutive beeps during boot. Which of the following actions will remediate the issue?


A. Replacing the power supply


B. Replacing the UPS


C. Changing the CMOS battery


D. Reseating the RAM





D.
  Reseating the RAM

Three beeps indicate a "base memory read/write test error". Check out "beep codes" for more information. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power on_selftest

POST_beep_codes_on_CompTIA_A.2B_certification_exam Reseating the RAM is the best course of action to remediate the issue of three consecutive beeps during boot, as it may indicate a RAM failure or loose connection. By reseating the RAM, the technician can ensure that the connection is secure and the computer should boot normally. References: CompTIA A+ Certification Exam Objectives 1001, 1.9

A user takes a tablet to a technician because the cursor on it keeps drifting. The technician notices the screen does not appear to be damaged. Which of the following is the MOST likely cause of the cursor issue?


A. The screen is physically damaged.


B. The screen rotation is incorrect.


C. The touch-pen battery is depleted.


D. The screen needs to be recalibrated.





D.
  The screen needs to be recalibrated.

The most likely cause of the cursor issue is that the screen needs to be recalibrated. This can happen when the tablet is used for a long time or when the tablet is dropped or bumped. Recalibrating the screen will help the tablet recognize the touch input more accurately12.

A user working in the field reported the GPS stopped working on a phone. The user’s older, in-car GPS continued to function. Later, the user reported that the phone’s GPS started working again. Which of the following MOST likely caused the phone’s GPS to fail?


A. The cell phone was in conservation mode


B. The cell phone had lost service to the earner


C. The eel phone received a firmware update


D. The cell phone had overheated





B.
  The cell phone had lost service to the earner

The phone's GPS may fail due to a loss of service from the carrier, which provides the phone with GPS location data. The fact that the in-car GPS continued to function suggests that the issue was related to the phone, not the GPS satellites. References: CompTIA A+ Certification Study Guide, Tenth Edition, pg. 372

Which of the following is a valid use for PaaS?


A. Off-site backups


B. An application development environment


C. A virtual server installation and configuration model


D. A web application for asset management





B.
  An application development environment

PaaS (Platform as a Service) is a cloud computing model in which a provider offers a platform that allows developers to create, run, and manage applications without the complexity of building and maintaining the infrastructure. An application development environment is a valid use for PaaS. References: CompTIA A+ Certification Exam Objectives 1001, 1.7

A technician needs to add storage to a workstation. The workstation does not have room to

add any internal storage, so the technician plans to add an external storage device. Which

of the following connection types should the technician MOST likely use?


A. SCSI


B. eSATA


C. PCIe


D. NVMe





B.
  eSATA

eSATA is the best choice for adding external storage as it offers a fast transfer rate and is specifically designed for external storage devices. SCSI is an older interface that is rarely used today, PCIe is typically used to add expansion cards to a computer, and NVMe is a newer interface for high-speed solid-state storage, but it is typically used for internal storage devices.

A technician needs to install a cost-effective storage device into a rackmount server that will be used as a VM host. This storage will be used for all VMs that run from the server. Which of the following should be used?


A. Optical disk drive


B. eMMC storage device


C. 15,000rpm drive


D. RAID 10 array





D.
  RAID 10 array

RAID 10 array is often used for server virtualization as it provides both redundancy and performance benefits. It uses a combination of mirroring and striping to provide both fault tolerance and improved I/O performance. An optical disk drive or eMMC storage device would not provide enough storage or performance for a VM host server, while a 15,000rpm drive may provide good performance but would not provide redundancy for fault tolerance. Therefore, a RAID 10 array is the best option for cost-effective storage that will be used for all VMs that run from the server.

A remote user called the help desk to report a notification indicating there is limited or no  connectivity. The user can access local file folders and other local machines but none of the organization's servers or network items. Web pages do not appear to function either. Which of the following is the MOST likely cause of the issue?


A. The user's internet connection is down.


B. The user's domain account is locked out.


C. The user's switch has stopped working.


D. The user's IP address needs to be renewed.





A.
  The user's internet connection is down.

Based on the information provided in the scenario, the most likely cause of the issue is that the user’s internet connection is down (option A). This would explain why the user is unable to access any of the organization’s servers or network items and why web pages are not functioning. However, since the user can still access local file folders and other local machines, it suggests that their local network is still functioning. The user can access local file folders and other local machines but none of the organization's servers or network items, indicating that the issue is with the user's internet connection, not with the user's domain account, switch, or IP address. When a user receives a notification indicating that there is limited or no connectivity, it means that their device is unable to establish a connection to the network. In this scenario, the user can access local file folders and other local machines but is unable to access any of the organization’s servers or network items and web pages are not functioning. This suggests that the issue is with the user’s internet connection. An internet connection allows a device to communicate with other devices and servers outside of its local network. If the internet connection is down or not functioning properly, the device will be unable to access any resources outside of its local network. This would explain why the user in this scenario can still access local resources but is unable to access any of the organization’s servers or network items.

A technician is upgrading a legacy wireless router for a home user. After installing the new router and configuring the SSID to be the same, none of the devices will connect to the network. Which of the following should the technician check NEXT?


A. OHCP pool configuration


B. MAC filtering list


C. Wireless protocol settings


D. ONS servers





B.
  MAC filtering list

The technician should check the MAC filtering list next as the new router may have a different MAC address than the old router. References: CompTIA A+ Certification Exam Guide, Exam 220-1001, Page 332
