A technician is dispatched to repair a computer that appears to boot correctly, except no
video output is being displayed. No beep codes are given by the computer, but drive activity
lights and keyboard lights work correctly. The technician decides that the video card may be
defective and removes it from the computer, expecting the computer’s POST process to
provide beep codes with the card removed. Instead the computer boots properly. Which of
the following is MOST likely the cause?
A.
Onboard video is present
B.
The onboard speaker is defective
C.
The monitor is defective
D.
The RAM should be reseated
