Hard Drive Crashed :-(

</font><font color="blue" class="small">( For instance, we get many calls from folks reporting their hard drive won't turn on. They're sitting there pushing the power button on the monitor )</font>

I've handles tons of tech support calls that are like that... and I find that most people refer to the case.. ( desktop or tower ).. as the Hard drive...

Had people trying to slide paper into the printer to get a fax ( not a MFC.. just a printer )... And the list goes on and on.

New a fellow that 'washed' his keyboard in the tub..( yes!) and then wondered why it no longer functioned..

Did anyone die sticking that knife in there? What do you suppose they were trying to do?

He calls us and tells us his PC isn't working anymore. My co-worker opens the case in our lab and bursts out laughing. We immediately hunted down a digital camera. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

At first, he denied doing it, but we found a matching spoon and fork on his desk! We interrogated the suspect and he said it was making a loud noise and he wanted it to stop. So he shoved it in the case where a fan should have been and wiggled it around, but lost his grip and that was that. After he lost his grip, the PC stopped working. Imagine that! /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
