The technician established the theory of probable cause and tested it and did not confirm - the hard drive worked. So now he needs to re-establish a new theory or escalate a problem. " 3. Test the theory to determine the cause: Once the theory is confirmed, determine the next steps to resolve the problem. If the theory is not confirmed, re-establish a new theory or escalate."
