What type of video ram technology is used on video cards that are used in laptop computers?
- A.
DDR SDRAM
- B.
RAMBUS
- C.
SIMM
- D.
DIMM
Correct Answer
A. DDR SDRAMExplanation
DDR SDRAM is the correct answer because it is a type of video RAM technology commonly used in video cards for laptop computers. DDR SDRAM stands for Double Data Rate Synchronous Dynamic Random-Access Memory, and it offers faster data transfer rates compared to older RAM technologies like SIMM and DIMM. RAMBUS is another type of video RAM technology, but it is not as commonly used in laptops as DDR SDRAM. Therefore, DDR SDRAM is the most suitable choice for video cards in laptop computers.Rate this question:

What is usually used as the primary input device in a typical PDA?
- A.
Stylus
- B.
Keyboard and mouse
- C.
Voice activated software
- D.

What should be done to obtain the maximum battery life in a PDA?
- A.
Adjust the touch screen sensitivity
- B.
Adjust the screen backlight settings
- C.
Adjust the IrDA transfer rate
- D.
Adjust the SD card bus speed
Correct Answer
B. Adjust the screen backlight settingsExplanation
To obtain the maximum battery life in a PDA, it is recommended to adjust the screen backlight settings. By reducing the brightness of the screen, less power is consumed, thus extending the battery life. This is a common practice in electronic devices as the screen backlight tends to be one of the major power consumers. Adjusting the touch screen sensitivity, IrDA transfer rate, or SD card bus speed may have an impact on the device's performance or data transfer speed, but it would not directly affect the battery life.Rate this question:

In which mode should you power down if you want the laptop to copy system data to the hard drive before completely turning off
- A.
Suspend
- B.
Standby
- C.
Log off
- D.
Hibernate.
Correct Answer
D. Hibernate.Explanation
When you want the laptop to copy system data to the hard drive before completely turning off, you should power down in Hibernate mode. Hibernate mode saves the current system state, including open files and programs, to the hard drive before shutting down. This allows you to resume your work exactly where you left off when you power on the laptop again. Suspend, Standby, and Log off modes do not save the system state to the hard drive, so choosing Hibernate ensures that your data is not lost.Rate this question:

What is the most logical explanation why a laptop continues to fail every time you want it to go into Hibernate Mode.
- A.
Not enough RAM
- B.
WinXP not activated
- C.
Not enough battery power
- D.
No hardware or device driver support.
Correct Answer
D. No hardware or device driver support.Explanation
The most logical explanation for the laptop failing to go into Hibernate Mode is that it does not have the necessary hardware or device driver support. Hibernate Mode requires specific hardware components and device drivers to function properly, and if the laptop lacks these, it will be unable to enter Hibernate Mode successfully. This could be due to outdated or incompatible hardware, or missing or incompatible device drivers. Without the proper support, the laptop will continue to fail when attempting to enter Hibernate Mode.Rate this question:

What is the FIRST troubleshooting step that should be implemented when an external monitor is attached to a laptop and does not work?
- A.
The monitor must be activated with the Function Key
- B.
The laptop covershould be closed and re-opened
- C.
The laptop should be rebooted
- D.
The correct drivers for the keyboard should be installed.
Correct Answer
A. The monitor must be activated with the Function KeyExplanation
When an external monitor is attached to a laptop and does not work, the first troubleshooting step that should be implemented is to activate the monitor with the Function Key. This is because some laptops have a dedicated Function Key that needs to be pressed in combination with another key (usually labeled with a monitor icon) to switch the display output to the external monitor. By activating the monitor with the Function Key, the laptop will redirect the display output to the external monitor, allowing it to work properly.Rate this question:

- C.
Pack the laptop in a hard case that is lined with internal padding.
- D.
Pack the laptop amongst large pieces of styrofoam.
Correct Answer
C. Pack the laptop in a hard case that is lined with internal padding.Explanation
The recommended packaging option when a laptop must be shipped is to pack it in a hard case that is lined with internal padding. This option provides the laptop with the necessary protection to withstand the potential impact and vibrations during shipping. The hard case offers a sturdy outer layer, while the internal padding ensures that the laptop is cushioned and secured in place. This packaging method minimizes the risk of damage to the laptop during transit.Rate this question:
