Never forgot someone in a PC shop blaming his wife calling here a myriad of insulting blame filled names stating it was her that had broke his PC “she’s hoovered it out stupid b@tch now it’s f@cked!!! silly c@w!!!” so all I said was you sure it isn’t the power switch on the back of the PSU?
He then says “oh…didn’t know there was one…sorry to me wife for that”
Lol I flipped the switch and it instantly booted fine, hence there was no charge for him so no harm no foul I guess…unless his missus beat the sh@t out of him when he got home…who knows?
