Question

after installing a new 2.5 - inch ssd in a laptop, the technician receives an error stating
o bootable device found.\ what is the most likely cause?
a) the ssd is not seated properly
b) the power supply is failing
c) the ram is incompatible
d) the cpu is overheating

Explanation:

When installing a new 2.5 - inch SSD in a laptop, if the SSD is not seated properly, the laptop may not recognize it as a bootable device. The CPU overheating (D) is related to cooling issues of the CPU, not the SSD. RAM incompatibility (C) would cause issues related to memory, not booting from the SSD. A failing power supply (B) would likely cause more general system - wide power issues rather than a specific "no bootable device found" error related to the newly installed SSD.

Answer:

A. The SSD is not seated properly
