Customer calls in and complains that his system is not able to connect 270Mbps. Upon checking the computer details, you verified that the customer has an Intel 4965 wireless-N card and a Wireless-N router. What do you advice your tech to do?
- A.
Troubleshoot the WIFI card as it may be defective
- B.
Transfer to the wireless queue
- C.
Check if the Wireless-N router is set for WPA2-PSK because this is the only security which allows post 130Mbps speeds.
Correct Answer
C. Check if the Wireless-N router is set for WPA2-PSK because this is the only security which allows post 130Mbps speeds.Explanation
The correct answer is to check if the Wireless-N router is set for WPA2-PSK because this is the only security which allows post 130Mbps speeds. This is because different security settings can affect the speed of the wireless connection. WPA2-PSK is a more secure and advanced encryption method that allows for higher speeds, while other security settings may limit the speed of the connection. By ensuring that the router is set to WPA2-PSK, the customer may be able to achieve the desired 270Mbps connection speed.Rate this question:

Customer complains that whenever he open the control panel in Vista, it closes automatically after 10-seconds and there are no error messages. There were no recent hardware/software changes, no unusual activity prior to this problem and the computer was not moved. What do you do?
- A.
Ask customer to back-up his data and perform PC Restore/OSRI
- B.
Tell the customer that this is most likely a virus and transfer to DOC
- C.
Ensure that the Software Licensing Service is running
Correct Answer
C. Ensure that the Software Licensing Service is runningExplanation
The customer's issue of the control panel closing automatically after 10 seconds with no error messages suggests that there may be a problem with the Software Licensing Service. This service is responsible for managing software licenses and if it is not running properly, it can cause various issues with system functions. By ensuring that the Software Licensing Service is running, it may resolve the problem the customer is experiencing with the control panel.Rate this question:

A customer has an XPS One and complains that whenever he starts his computer, all he gets is a blinking white cursor after the Dell splash screen. This is seen only when system is used for considerable amount of time. The system came with Samsung 320GB (part # CW026) and is fairly new. Probing leads you to the fact that there were no recent hardware/software changes, the HDD light is not blinking and has the latest internet security software. What do you do?
- A.
Update the HDD firmware from support.dell.com
- B.
Check the boot sequence in the BIOS as the computer may be booting from another device.
Correct Answer
A. Update the HDD firmware from support.dell.comExplanation
The correct answer is to update the HDD firmware from support.dell.com. This is because the issue is occurring after the Dell splash screen and is only seen after the system has been used for a considerable amount of time. This suggests that the problem may be related to the HDD firmware, which can be resolved by updating it. Checking the boot sequence in the BIOS is not necessary in this case as the issue is not related to booting from another device.Rate this question:

A customer who has an XPS 730 states that he updated his BIOS and his ESA/Performance software from the Nvidia web site. Now the customer claims that fans are not operating as fast and efficiently as before. There were no other software or hardware changes prior to this and he thinks that the motherboard has gone bad. What would you do?
- A.
Press the reset button on the master control board and release FLEA power. Then boot to the OS and rollback the ESA driver
- B.
Check DellServ for the BIOS version and bring the computer back to the same version it was shipped with
- C.
Run diagnostics on the motherboard and replace if necessary
Correct Answer
A. Press the reset button on the master control board and release FLEA power. Then boot to the OS and rollback the ESA driverExplanation
The customer's issue of fans not operating as fast and efficiently after updating the BIOS and ESA/Performance software suggests a potential software compatibility issue. By pressing the reset button on the master control board and releasing FLEA power, it can help reset the system and potentially resolve any software conflicts. Rolling back the ESA driver further addresses the compatibility issue and allows the system to revert to a previous version that was working properly.Rate this question:

A customer who has an XPS 630i states that he gets this error message: "NO TIMER TICK INTERRUPT". There were no recent hardware/software changes, customer already performed a system restore and booted to last known good configuration. What part would you test for possible failure?
- A.
BIOS - because this is where you set the system date and time
- B.
Coin cell battery - because this controls the real time clock of the system
- C.
Motherboard - because a chip on the system board might be malfunctioning
Correct Answer
C. Motherboard - because a chip on the system board might be malfunctioningExplanation
The error message "NO TIMER TICK INTERRUPT" suggests a problem with the system's timer interrupt. Since the customer has already performed a system restore and booted to the last known good configuration, it is unlikely that the issue is related to software or settings. Instead, it is more likely that there is a malfunctioning chip on the motherboard responsible for handling the timer interrupt. Therefore, testing the motherboard for possible failure would be the appropriate next step in troubleshooting this issue.Rate this question:

Sometime we have to go to the manufacturer's website to get the most up to date drivers. What is the OEM Brand of the XPS M2010's bluetooth mouse?
- A.
Synaptics
- B.
Logitech
- C.
Dell
Correct Answer
B. LogitechExplanation
The correct answer is Logitech because the question asks for the OEM Brand of the XPS M2010's bluetooth mouse, and Logitech is a well-known brand for computer peripherals such as mice. Dell is the manufacturer of the XPS M2010 laptop, but it does not necessarily mean that the bluetooth mouse is also manufactured by Dell. Synaptics is a company that specializes in touchpad technology, so it is not likely to be the OEM Brand for the bluetooth mouse.Rate this question:

During an OSRI with Windows XP, techs are allowed to do "break-off's" at certain points during the process. Examples of break off points are data backup, beginning of the service pack download, and points in the installation that require no user input for more than 15 minutes. What would be the break-off point/s (if any) if the OS to be re-installed is Windows Vista?
- A.
There are no break-off points for Vista OSRI; tech must stay on the line until the process is finished.
- B.
The break-off points in Vista is the same as in Windows XP
- C.
The only break-off point for Vista is 45-minutes after the computer has started to copy the system/installation files.
Correct Answer
B. The break-off points in Vista is the same as in Windows XPExplanation
The correct answer states that the break-off points in Vista are the same as in Windows XP. This means that techs are allowed to do "break-off's" at certain points during the OSRI process in Vista, just like they are allowed to do in Windows XP. This implies that examples of break off points such as data backup, beginning of the service pack download, and points in the installation that require no user input for more than 15 minutes would also apply to Vista.Rate this question:
