    Study Notes

    RAM Installation

    • DDR3 is the most commonly used type of RAM in desktop computers.
    • SODIMM is typically used in laptops, not desktops.
    • ECC RAM is used in servers for error correction.
    • VRAM is specialized for video cards, not standard desktop usage.

    Laser Printer Issues

    • Vertical streaks on printouts are often caused by a worn drum.
    • A transfer belt, roller, and ribbon are less likely causes of streaking.

    HDMI Error with Projector

    • HDMI error stating "Blocked due to Copy Protection" is related to HDCP protocol support.
    • A compatible cable standard like DisplayPort may not resolve HDMI-specific issues.
    • Switching settings in the projector to enable content protection may be necessary.

    Wireless Backhaul Channel Selection

    • A heavily polluted RF environment can affect wireless channel selection.
    • Reserved channels for licensed use cannot be selected freely.
    • Vendor unlocking may be required for certain channels.

    Laser Printer Double Image

    • Double images on printouts are typically due to a worn fuser.
    • Maintenance kits can affect printer performance and should be checked regularly.

    VM Host Configuration

    • Creating VMs may fail if multithreading is not enabled in the BIOS settings.
    • Other settings like TPM and Fast Startup are less likely to impact VM creation.

    Identifying Patch Panel Ports

    • A toner probe is the best tool for identifying unlabeled ports on a patch panel.
    • Other tools like crimpers and punchdown tools are not suited for this task.

    Projector Audio Issues

    • To resolve projector audio issues, utilizing an HDMI connection is recommended.
    • Other connections like VGA and DVI may not carry audio signals.

    Network Speed Limitations

    • Cat 5 cable restricts transfer speeds to 100Mbps despite using a Gigabit LAN card.
    • Replacing with Cat 5e or higher is necessary for Gigabit speeds.

    Webcam Functionality

    • Closing other video software might resolve conflicts with the webcam.
    • Compatibility adjustments and reseating the webcam may also be beneficial.

    Mobile Device Authentication

    • NFC must be enabled on mobile devices for authentication with new security measures.
    • Bluetooth, biometrics, and PIN are not required for this specific authentication method.

    MIMO Technology Standards

    • 802.11n is the standard that supports MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) technology.
    • Older standards like 802.11a, b, and g do not support MIMO.

    PC Display Issues

    • "No input signal detected" can be resolved by checking the monitor's power connections.
    • Changing BIOS settings or connector settings may be unnecessary initially.

    Touchscreen Input on Mobile Devices

    • A digitizer enables the input functionality on a mobile device's touchscreen.
    • Other components like OLED, inverter, and CMOS sensor serve different roles.
