Explanation

The correct answer is to provide the customer with free support, troubleshoot the issue, and transfer them to OWR (Onsite Warranty Repair) for any necessary hardware replacements. This is the appropriate workflow because the customer purchased the system from Dell and is entitled to receive support and warranty services. Since the Entitlements tab does not show the field for "Limited Phone Support," it indicates that the customer's support entitlement may be different. Therefore, providing free support and transferring to OWR ensures that the customer receives the necessary assistance and hardware replacements as per their entitlement.

Submit
23. Which of these is an example of Open-ended questions?

Explanation

Open-ended questions are those that cannot be answered with a simple "yes" or "no" and require the respondent to provide more detailed information or explanation. In this case, "What do you use it for?" and "Describe what all you see on the screen" are both open-ended questions as they prompt the person to provide a detailed response and elaborate on their thoughts or observations. The other options, such as "Are the diagnostic lights green or amber?" and "Is the printer cartridge new?" can be answered with a simple "yes" or "no" and therefore are not open-ended questions.

He has got a valid Next Business Day and Limited Phone Support warranty but NO Complete Care. The Inv Date for the system is 9/12/09. What seems to be the best option?

Explanation

Based on the given information, the best option would be to transfer the customer to OWR (Offsite Work Repair) for repairs. Since the customer has a valid Next Business Day and Limited Phone Support warranty, OWR would be the appropriate option for repairs. Additionally, the customer does not have Complete Care, which suggests that sending the system to the depot for repairs under CC or dispatching an onsite technician to replace the motherboard may not be feasible options. Lastly, giving a complete system exchange to the customer is not mentioned as a possibility in this scenario.

Submit
26. Which of the following components are essentially required to complete POST?

Explanation

The motherboard is the main circuit board that connects all the components together. The processor is the central processing unit that performs calculations and executes instructions.

The keyboard/mouse and monitor are not necessary for the POST process.
