Changed my mind about checking the simple stuff first

I spent 4 hours on a laptop that wouldn't power on, only to find the AC adapter brick was unplugged from the wall. I was so sure it was a bad DC jack. Anyone else ever get tunnel vision on a repair?

Tunnel vision on a repair" is the worst. I've learned to physically step away for a minute when I'm stuck. That fresh look almost always spots the obvious thing I missed.

Fresh look" used to sound silly to me, but it really works.
