Which of the following statements about the G3 state of a computer are true? Each correct answer represents a complete solution. Choose two.
The correct answer is B. A complete power loss occurs in this state such as power cord unplugged from a computer. C. A computer can be disassembled in this state.. The G3 state, also known as Mechanical Off, signifies a complete power loss to the computer, allowing for safe disassembly as no components are receiving power.

Why each option
The G3 state, also known as Mechanical Off, signifies a complete power loss to the computer, allowing for safe disassembly as no components are receiving power.
The G3 state is a complete power off state, not a normal working state which would typically be G0 (S0).
The G3 state, or Mechanical Off, means there is no power applied to any computer component, equivalent to unplugging the power cord, ensuring complete power loss.
Because there is no power supplied to the computer's components in the G3 state, it is safe to perform physical maintenance or disassembly without the risk of electrical shock or component damage.
The G3 state is known as Mechanical Off, whereas 'soft off' (S5) still has some power retained for wake-on-LAN or other features.
