“Is your computer connected to a power outlet? Yes? Could you please unplug it and plug it back in for me?”
It’s a much larger problem when there are several different cables.
Also: please check the other end of the cable, the one that isn’t plug in the wall, yes that one, plugged on the screen, unplug and plug it back in please.
As someone that works writing firmware for SAS devices… it’s happened all too many times
That sounds like a classical OSI layer 0 problem.
Layer 8!
At a former job, there was one – and only one – lady in customer service who would actually reboot and do all the basic troubleshooting steps before calling IT. If we heard from her, we knew something was legitimately broken. Oddly enough, I’m married to her now. Best decision I ever made.
Have you had to reboot her yet?
Always turn it off and on again. Then check cable and physical connections, then start the real troubleshooting. I have fixed over a thousand computers as a hobby. So I’m no pro, but I know that much.
I have rebooted it more than 10 times, and have checked literally every other connection but somehow forgot to check the actual SAS cable.
Happens to the best of us🤣
I spent what felt like an eternity debugging a website because it wasn’t updating. You gussed it, I was looking the build output of webpak in the wrong folder.
Me: *PTSD’s in SCSI chain
So many dongle failures, and so many sprung tension latches.
“Hello IT, have you tried turning it off and on again?” pause “Is it plugged in?” pause “You’re welcome”
I’d rather troubleshoot for days than try to reboot or check cables.
