AI Thread Summary
CCNA certification is highly regarded in the networking field and can significantly enhance career prospects. Obtaining this certification through a school program is advantageous, as it typically eliminates the high costs associated with taking the exams independently, which can amount to several hundred dollars. Network administrators who hold a CCNA certification can expect to earn an average salary between $80,000 and $90,000. The opportunity to take the CCNA tests for free as part of a course is a valuable chance for students to boost their qualifications and improve their job market competitiveness.

What can you guys tell me about this?

Thread 'Urgent: Physically repair - or bypass - power button on Asus laptop'

Asus Vivobook S14 flip. The power button is wrecked. Unable to turn it on AT ALL. We can get into how and why it got wrecked later, but suffice to say a kitchen knife was involved: These buttons do want to NOT come off, not like other lappies, where they can snap in and out. And they sure don't go back on. So, in the absence of a longer-term solution that might involve a replacement, is there any way I can activate the power button, like with a paperclip or wire or something? It looks...
