\r\nSpent the afternoon lowering the computer table (it's an Ikea JERKER table). After plugging everything back in, the monitor would NOT turn on.

\r\n

PANIC!

\r\n

Wait, what's that noise .... high pitch whine coming from the monitor's power-brick. That wasn't there yesterday. So, I'm thinking the brick's crapped out.

\r\n

Inspiration struck, and I double checked the power-plug connected to the monitor. Turns out, I had plugged it with the wrong orientation. Switch it around, and the thing LIVES. Pheww!

\r\n\r\n

Moral of the story: Pay attention, and don't force plugs in when they resist.

\r\n\r\n

One thing the monitor has shown me is that I need better adjusted spectacles. My prescription is rather extreme, at least amongst people I know with eye-aids, -10 & -11 dioptre. I'm seeing "curved" straight lines towards the edges, and that's not possible on a LCD, is it?\r\n
