I've progressed to the eternal struggle between pounding on it with my fist and utter apathy.

Apathy is on its way to winning.

(Don't tell Jen.)

Hmm. Downvotes.

Isn't this the next step after turning it off and on again.

Back when we had more mechanical drives, daughterboards, socketed chips and the like, it worked a surprising amount of the time.

Apathy... Maybe that comes with age.

P.S. Not to mention tubes. Yeah, I'm that old.

P.P.S The grandparent was making a reference to a show, and Jen is a character in that show. In case that was confusing anyone.
