Welcome to another BROtocol JOE Breakdown — where IT cert prep meets real talk. In this episode, we're cracking open laptops (literally) to explore Objective 1.1 of the CompTIA A+ 220-1201 exam. From swapping out SODIMMs to taming ribbon cables, you’ll learn how to troubleshoot and replace key mobile components like:

RAM, SSDs, and wireless cards

Keyboards, touchpads, and fingerprint readers

Cameras, microphones, NFC modules, and more

We’ll also drop repair tips, warranty warnings, and memory tricks like S.M.A.R.T. and SODA upgrades to keep your brain as sharp as your toolkit.
