Accessing the challenge area
Before you can start the Tech Support challenge, you need to progress through the mission until you obtain enough money to enter the auction. After paying the guards and gaining access, explore the nearby event area where the challenge becomes available.

The challenge is tied to a malfunctioning sound system, so your first task is locating the person responsible for managing the music.
Finding the DJ and diagnosing the problem
Step 1
Locate the DJ in the auction area after entering the venue. Interacting with or approaching this location reveals that there is a problem with one of the speakers.
The DJ’s setup serves as the starting point for the challenge and directs you toward the faulty equipment.

Step 2
Travel to the indicated speaker location. Once you arrive, inspect the equipment to determine why it is not functioning properly.
You’ll discover that the speaker has lost power due to a damaged electrical component.

How to replace the burnt-out fuse
Step 3
Search near the speaker area for the burnt-out fuse. The damaged fuse is the source of the electrical failure preventing the sound system from operating correctly.

Remove the faulty fuse and replace it with the correct working fuse.
Step 4
After installing the replacement fuse, verify that the repair is complete. Although the speaker has been fixed, the system still requires power before it can function normally.

How to restore power and complete the challenge
Step 5
Locate the nearby generator positioned close to the speaker setup. This generator provides the electricity needed to bring the repaired sound system back online.
Interact with the generator and switch it on.

Step 6
Once the generator is activated, power is restored to the speaker system. The Tech Support challenge immediately completes, awarding credit toward your overall challenge progression for the mission.

The Tech Support challenge is a short environmental objective that requires minimal combat or stealth. After entering the auction venue, simply locate the DJ, investigate the malfunctioning speaker, replace the damaged fuse, and activate the nearby generator. Completing these steps restores power to the sound system and finishes the challenge within a few minutes.
