Check that the vents are free from dust.
Check that the fan is working.
Explanation:
Overheating is the main cause of intermittent shutdowns for projectors.
Dust in the vents of a projector is a likely cause of intermittent
shutdowns because the blocked vents could lead to overheating.
When a projector shuts down intermittently, the technician should
check that the fan is working. A projector uses a very strong bulb that
becomes very hot and a faulty fan can cause overheating, which leads
to shutdowns.

An engineer troubleshooting a network connection identifies a port flapping
problem. What should the engineer investigate as a possible cause?

A data scientist needs to run complex algorithms and machine learning programs
that require a significant amount of computing power. The scientist tells the
company's IT pro that their current computer is too slow and their data is backed up
daily. What RAID configuration would be best for the data scientist where they don't
need redundancy?
An engineer plans a fiber cable implementation between two campus buildings
about 50 meters apart. Due to the distance between the locations, the engineer
selects single-mode fiber. What specifications does the engineer need to consider
with this decision?
The projector in the conference room is experiencing intermittent shutdowns.
The technician begins troubleshooting by checking all the connector cables.
What are the next troubleshooting steps for the technician?

USB 3.2 Gen 2x2
Explanation:
The universal serial bus (USB) 3.2 specification deprecated some of the older
terms used to describe the supported transfer rates. USB 3.2 Gen 2x2
SuperSpeed USB is capable of 2 x 10 Gbps.
USB port -
Explanation:
Internal USB 2 connections are made via 9-pin headers, which accept up to two 4-
pin port connections while the 9th pin is to orient the cable correctly.
Faulty motherboard
Explanation:
Given all of the potential causes that were discounted by the technician, a faulty
motherboard is the only available option that would cause a computer to have no
power.
Bad sectors
Bad blocks
Explanation:
Bad sectors may be found on a traditional hard disk. While bad sectors can be
marked as unusable, having them present is usually a sign of a failing disk.
Bad blocks may be found on a hard disk. A block is a grouping of sectors. A single
sector or multiple sectors in a block may have gone bad.
