A field technician is inspecting a mobile laptop equipped with an OLED display panel and a USB Type-C port. The user reports three symptoms: first, the casing around the touchpad has warped and raised upward; second, external video output fails when connected to a multi-function USB-C hub, even though connected USB flash drives function properly; third, dark background regions on the screen appear entirely black, leading the user to suspect a failing backlight inverter. Which of the following is the most accurate hardware diagnosis and recommended course of action?
- Safely power down the laptop and replace the swollen battery pack, verify if the host USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode, and explain that OLED screens individually illuminate pixels without requiring a backlight inverter.Cevap
- BPerform three consecutive deep discharge cycles down to 0% to recalibrate the battery management controller, which will flatten the swollen battery cells and restore video output signaling across the USB-C bus.
- CReplace the display assembly's backlight inverter board to resolve the dark screen regions, as intermittent voltage supply from the inverter causes pixels to turn completely off.
- DUpgrade the laptop's internal system memory using standard desktop DDR4 DIMM modules to increase the bandwidth allocated to the USB-C DisplayPort graphics frame buffer.
Cevap
Safely power down the device to replace the swollen battery, check the USB-C host controller for DisplayPort Alt Mode compatibility, and note that OLED panels emit their own light without an inverter board.
The correct response accurately addresses all three symptoms: a swollen Lithium-ion battery expands beneath the touchpad and must be replaced immediately for safety; USB-C video transfer depends on DisplayPort Alt Mode protocol support rather than standard USB data signals; and OLED panels do not use fluorescent backlights or inverter boards because each pixel generates its own illumination.
