CompTIA A+ Full Course for Beginners - Module 3 - Troubleshooting PC Hardware

[@johnprivera1778]

I am just getting into computers (at 63 years of age) hoping to transition to a career in computers. I have seen three of your videos so far in your COMPTIA A+ Course for Beginners and find them very informative with excellent explanations for someone like myself who does not have a computer background. I feel I have a lot to learn, but with time hope to have enough knowledge to be an IT Tech. Thanks for all the hard work you put into the coursework as well as the insight provided from some of your practical real-life IT work experiences that you share with your viewers! Respectfully, John R.

[@BurningIceTech]

Wow, I admire that your taking on something entirely new. It's always a huge change and huge learning curve to go into something entirely new. Hope you enjoy it and that you succeed :)

[@samf8887]

Wow thank you for your story. This is so amazing.please give us an update! ❤

[@littlethingsdonewell4492]

You can do it John! ❤ and thank you straight from my heart BurningIceTech! ❤

[@h1ppylongstockings]

How's that going? I'm switch from the medical field!

[@kricachula7546]

How's it going? I've been in my field for over 25 years and am 47 years old. I have a master's in social work, and am just now going back for IT/Cyber. I'm really scared about starting over, but I've got young children I need to provide for myself and I've topped out salary-wise in the social work field. You're an inspiration to take this on later. I've been very intimidated. So far I'm getting all A's on my assignments and projects in my very first college course (prepares for the CompTIA). Finals are this week🫣

[@omari2306]

Currently studying web dev and for the IT A+ exam, you are trully a blessing! Thanks for all the content!

[@user-qk8iv1nk9b]

Many thanks brother for the free A+ resources. Many ppl would charge an arm and a leg for things like these.

[@BurningIceTech]

Most welcome Yeah it sucks that everyone is trying to make a buck out of the next guy around every corner. It's actually a bit annoying even Nobody seems to help anybody else anymore these days

[@user-qk8iv1nk9b]

@@BurningIceTech I feel lucky to have found your channel. I watched Prof. Messer. It is confusing. Your presentation style is top notch. Thank you very much. Bless

[@Cymatic-Mage]

I have to tell you, your speaking style and accent are my favorite instructer style so far, hands down. Your explainations are so in depth and very well described to the point that I get to listen to your course while I am at work. Every now and then I do need to glance at the video to see what you are describing. 🥳 Youre my favorite so far 😸

[@BurningIceTech]

Oh wow thank you :) that's awesome to know

[@MischievousMossy]

Thanks for these vids, man. I'm 29 and have been working as a school janitor, but want to make a move into IT. These vids are perfect for learning while cleaning. Cheers!

[@sallyhardesty-v7q]

"Quesiton the Obvious -Beign detailed and systematic requires your willingness to not overlook the obvious; at times the most COMPLEX issue can be cause by an unchecked VLAN tag box.....FFFFFSSSSSSSSSS." my favorite note so far.. and true in every industry I have worked in. Once, then engine on a Volvo day cab truck would not turn over, we towed it into the shop, and after plugging in the computer and checking the codes we found the Coolant Temp Sensor was Out of limits, so it shorted internally causing the unit to read way to high of temperature and go into shut down. All that on a unit with 20000km on it. I have always enjoyed the depth of diagnostics.

[@teriley123]

I couldn't tell you all the things that I learned, but I learned a lot. I appreciate the videos and I appreciate your enthusiasm. It's making the content much more fun and easy to get through. Cheers!

[@BurningIceTech]

As long as you learned something then I'm happy :) Your most welcome Thanks for the feedback, appreciate it ey!

[@AdamHyatt-z5t]

AWESOME Videos. I am using them as a supplement to a paid course that I am taking and to be honest I am getting WAY more from your videos that I am from the paid course.

[@akyblue]

❤❤❤❤❤hi glad to see someone on the journey.

[@BurningIceTech]

I'm glad to hear it. Hope this gives you everything you need and more

[@pilates4golfers]

Being new to technology, I've learned so much more about tech in the last few weeks than watching so many other videos which is more of an information overload and I get lost with all that. I love the way you go over each and every point. Thanks dude. Much appreciated.🙏👊

[@BurningIceTech]

Glad you find it useful :) as long as it's helping

[@justme-iz7ec]

It was not supposed to be funny... but during the Troubleshooting Steps when you told us if we tried repairing the power supply we would end up in the ICU or in a coffin I almost ended up in a coffin from laughing 🤣🤣🤣

In the next 2 months, ur channel will grow by lips and bounds. I learned our pcs and even projectors have timers that will guide the booting order of our machines. Great new info

[@autexcore]

Just finished Module 2 and this was posted!

[@BurningIceTech]

Haha really? wow talk about timing. It's not often weird things like that happen. I wish that would happen to me when I watch stuff on KZbin :P

interesting that we'd be working with projectors in the field

[@i_am_kofit]

Nice

[@yourboimicky]

How much will it cost to take the full exam in cape town

[@BurningIceTech]

Well if your writing in Cape Town and paying in Rands, it's about roughly R1600 - R1800 per exam and there are two exams so it's about roughly R3200 - R3400 to write both exams. The prices do differ slightly from place to place though so I'd recommend shopping around a bit

[@sharathhk6264]

[@MICROGREENMANIAC]

Would you be able to do comptia Pentest+ or similar course please?

[@LawrenceDurudogan]

Hello. Very sorry to bother you. Ive been watching your videos for the past several days now, taking notes, and trying to study for an upcoming A+ exam. You had mentioned in this video that you worked for an IT company and I was just wondering what you did to get your foot in the door? I am a recent college graduate (May 2024) and I currently hold a masters degree in cybersecurity & digital forensics, and I am severely struggling to get my foot in the door. Even at an entry level position making $20-25 per hour seems to be a struggle as those positions require some sort of experience (typically 2-4 years) but how am I supposed to gain that experience if someone wont let me get my foot in the door to show them I am competent? Any advice? Really really struggling here. Thanks so so much!

[@BurningIceTech]

First of all, please keep in mind what I'm about to say will vary from country to country and even sometimes from city to city and so on... Finding and getting a job is a problem in most countries at the moment. Once someone gets a certification/qualification or even multiple ones, they usually still struggle their butt off to get a job in most cases. It's a classic case of, the potential employers usually want you to have "experience" but at the same time you can't get this experience they want if nobody actually hires you in the first place. It's a crazy catch 22. Some people "eventually" get lucky and find a job, even if it's just a small basic one. This helps them to start gaining this "experience" that employers want. Then in other cases, people will become interns or do a learnership of some kind at a company to gain experience. There are many cases where people will go work for "free" even at companies in exchange for a reference, something they can put on their resume/cv. How I got out of this crazy loop was, I went from company to company and offered to work for them for completely free, I just wanted a reference and the experience. Not everyone is in a position to do this though because if you don't have someone that can temporarily support you during that period, this part might be next to impossible. What usually happens when you work free is, often a position will eventually open and it's usually easier for that company to hire YOU then, the person that is already there and that already knows how they do things in their specific company, versus higher someone new from outside that has to first learn how they like things done

[@LawrenceDurudogan]

@@BurningIceTech I have a feeling you're from either Australia or South Africa, either way, two places no where near my home (NYC). Here in the city there are tons of opportunities, but the competition makes things close to impossible here. Even for an internship or doing volunteer work, there's still a process you have to go through before getting accepted, or in most cases moving on to the next step of the interview process. I can't even tell you the countless number of jobs I've applied to working for the state or government where they've filled in all these positions without even bringing me in for so much as an interview. Like....how are you going to choose your candidate without at least going through all the people who applied and who are remotely qualified.....insane. Look, if you have any connections where you are, I'll even move countries, I dont care lol.

[@Pewis-Pamilton]

Thank you bro

[@Maulga]

I was wondering if your old A+ course is still relevant when compared to the one you're currently making?

[@BurningIceTech]

Yes the old one is still relevant. You can actually use the old one and pass the exams even. About 90-95% of the content is the same. CompTIA mostly just went and reshuffled the content into a new order. The new A+ now has 20 modules where old one had 18 modules but that does not mean it's more content. It seems they just stretched the same content out over more modules. Here and there I've seen them remove and add bits and pieces of stuff but it's minimal. All in all you can still use my old videos if you want. I'm making videos for the new A+ because A LOT of people asked for it but in reality they can actually just refer to my old completed series and they'll be just fine :)

[@Dillicious17]

I meant to comment on the 1101 videos. Curious if toy still teach this course through compTIA?

[@yuvarudra6602]

[@alexandrosjoannides9546]

I once's damaged a computer, I was updating the system and the update was taking forever long and i thought it would finish installing, so i could turn it off before loadingsheding, but i was wrong then the next morning, when I turned on the computer, it would load in UEFI and when i tried to reboot the system and it would continuously tell me "no boot device found" I tried everything to get it up and running, but it didn't work so we had to get a new device. An expensive lesson learnt.

[@beautifulman3544]

Thanks for your teaching but you don't seem to follow the Exam Objectives in their right order as stated by Comptia A+. All the same great job

[@BurningIceTech]

Howdy, the exam objects stated by CompTIA are a bit all over the place I have noticed but in the end of the day they do all still get covered in the course The order in which things get covered in this video course I'm doing is the official order in which the 1100 course gets delivered which is CompTIA's order, not mine hehe. You'll notice if you go check the previous 1000 course I did on the channel, a lot of the same content gets covered but in a whole different order. That's all CompTIA doing that, not me haha. When they released 1100 they moved a lot of stuff around. There is stuff that used to be in Core 1 in the 1000 series which is now in Core 2 in the new 1100 series. Also visa versa with the old Core 2 and the new Core 1. Anyhoo, thank you for compliment and support. Appreciate you and your feedback, it's awesome :)
