ABOUT THE REFERENCE PAGES

Apply the methodology in labs.

Throughout this course, you will learn troubleshooting principles in each lab. The first time you are introduced to a component, you will watch a video on how to troubleshoot that component. This will help you learn how to apply the troubleshooting methodology to different types of components.

Use reference pages as needed.

Throughout this course, each time that component is used in a lab, it will be linked to a reference page. These reference pages will include a quick-reference GIF, a list of problems commonly associated with that component, reference videos, and additional information.

As you encounter problems in your lab, you are encouraged to refer to these videos and reference pages and attempt to solve the problem on your own. If you continue to struggle, reach out to an instructor.
