    I blame the cat. The little tulipe is a sod for trying to climb behind my PC and lie on all the cables.
    So it wasn't plugged in?

      That's how I read it.

      I'm still convinced PC copies and pastes threads directly from mumsnet.

      An IT contractor on an IT contractor's forum creates a thread in Technical because a lead wasn't plugged in. It's like a parody of himself.

      I do love you though.

        It was plugged in. LOL. I disconnected and reconnected and it was ok.

        To be fair, I needed something on PC at 6-30 that morning, so had 2 mins to look at it before I had to leg it out the door to get the train.

          Since you should have waited until you'd got home and tried all the obvious stuff before posting, I think the General mob should have their pound of flesh.

          PC - a legend in your own lunchtime. btw - do you still have the box your computer came in?
          Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

                    Are you sure you're cut out for this IT lark?
                    Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                      HD: Hello you're through to the Helpdesk. How may I help you today?
                      PC: Er hullo, I think the TV set on my computer is broken.
                      HD: Um ok, Is the power light on?
                      PC: No, I don't think so.
                      HD: Ok, is is plugged in?
                      PC: Yes, it should be.
                      HD: Well. Can you check?
                      PC: Um, I suppose so.... I can't tell as I can't see the plug socket
                      HD: Oh, is it behind a desk? Can you move it?
                      PC: No it's just it's too dark for me to see.
                      HD: Well, can you shine a lamp down there or turn more lights on?
                      PC: Not really, we've had a power cut.
