Bingo

If your case connectors doesn't have positive and negative symbols showing.
Look on the back of the connector and you will see a triangle and that is the positive connector and the second blank connector is the negative,

As you can see below the only one that is reversed/ triangle side/ is the RES - + make sure you look at motherboard diagram in your manual.

I'm so confused at the course outline for getting a cert. What exact classes would I have to take at a CC if I wanted to go for a cert? someone get back at the breh

for example an A+. What does that exactly consist of course wise? and how do you know when you have that cert?

For the a+ you can just get a book (Mike Meyers A+ book), study that and use as many online resources as possible like professor messer, crucial exams, quizlet, examcompass etc..study until you're consistently getting 90% on the mike meyers practice test dvd.

Then buy an exam voucher, you gotta get 2, so 180 each, or 90 each if you got a student email. Set up a test date at a test site with the vouchers


I just need to do my 902 next myself

Any of you participate in tech meetups in your area?

From time to time. I think they are worthwhile

Anyone here work with AWS?

That's the route I'm attempting to take. Started from the ground up and learning Linux and bash, then docker, chef and AWS. Kind of discouraging learning all
This stuff from the ground up but a DevOps role is my dream job atm. Where do u stand with AWS/devops?

Anybody know good study material for your SEC+ cert I have the vce exam simulator but anybody know where i can find some good reading material

Don't use VCE it's a brain dump. You're only hurting yourself in the long run.

Thanks. And yes I'm trying to get into network security, something like monitoring ips's and/or configuring access lists/firewalls. I would love for my next job to be security focused but I don't see many openings where I live. Plus, my lack of experience isn't doing me any favors. I only have one year of tier 1 support under my belt at this point.

If you're trying to get into network security you're going about it the wrong way. Learning PHP is pretty useless at this stage and your main focus should be learning networking like the back of your hand.
