Cevap
The technician should test the theory by inspecting and reconnecting the USB cable.
According to the CompTIA troubleshooting methodology, after establishing a theory of probable cause (Step 2), the technician must test the theory to determine the actual cause (Step 3). Inspecting and reconnecting the cable tests whether the physical connection is the issue.
