CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1201) — Question 70

A projector has been shutting down after 30 minutes of use, and it has a strange smell. The technician confirms the power source is not the cause of the issue. Which of the following steps should the technician take next to resolve this issue?

Answer options

• A. Replace the bulb.
• B. Check the projector configuration.
• C. Clean the filter.
• D. Adjust the gamma settings

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Cleaning the filter is the correct action because a clogged filter can cause overheating, leading to shutdowns and odors. Replacing the bulb may not address the root cause of the issue, while checking configuration and adjusting gamma settings are unlikely to resolve a problem related to overheating.
