External display, USB, or Bluetooth peripheral problem
Skill: av-peripheral-repair · Risk: medium · Steps: 8
Diagnoses and repairs A/V and peripheral hardware problems including external monitors not detected, AirPods or Bluetooth audio dropping, USB hubs and docks not enumerating, USB-C peripherals losing power, and microphones / cameras not appearing in collab apps. Read-only enumeration where possible; only the Bluetooth-module reset is mutating and gated by G4 dry-run + consent.
