You might be surprised how often that happens, I wouldn't feel too bad!mimidancer wrote: ↑17 Aug 2023Nevermind. It was unplugged from the power strip. I feel so stupid.mimidancer wrote: ↑17 Aug 2023My D 50 will not power up. Where in the US can send it to be fixed? Thanks.
In the 90s I worked for a company that sold and serviced laser printers, and I remember at least one call from an irate customer complaining that their printer had faulted, I said "sorry to ask, but is it plugged into the wall and wall switch turned on", received an "absolutely, don't treat me like an idiot" response, then driven to the client site and guess what I found!!!
They paid the call out fee pretty promptly haha.

I was going to suggest talking dirty to it. Glad you got it turned on.

Some support organizations instruct the caller to do something like:mimidancer wrote: ↑17 Aug 2023In the 90s I worked for a company that sold and serviced laser printers, and I remember at least one call from an irate customer complaining that their printer had faulted, I said "sorry to ask, but is it plugged into the wall and wall switch turned on", received an "absolutely, don't treat me like an idiot" response, then driven to the client site and guess what I found!!!
- turn the power off
- disconnect and reconnect all the cables, making sure they are seated firmly in their sockets
- turn the power back on again
If that happens, they are likely to think they have a funny story to tell or an apology to make, which is better than prompting them to get defensive and/or feel patronized and/or refuse to do the most basic troubleshooting.
But sometimes doing that stuff even "solves" an interesting problem (though it doesn't truly fix the bug that got the device into the bad state).
