In this week's On Call, tech support stories from 'Simon' highlight rapid problem-solving techniques amidst amusing misunderstandings. One tale illustrates a user unable to engage in Teams meetings due to operating their Lenovo laptop closed, effectively blocking the webcam. Another story involves a trip to a bowling alley to address a seemingly malfunctioning monitor, which was actually experiencing interference from a nearby lamp's magnetic field. These encounters underscore the often unexpected challenges faced by tech support professionals, revealing that situations can be both humorous and educational.
Simon shared three tales of extremely rapid tech support satisfaction that challenge our arrival-to-fix world record of 8.5 seconds.
The user was experiencing issues during Teams meetings because their laptop was closed, blocking the webcam. Moving books allowed proper camera use.
Upon arriving to fix a 'wobbling monitor' at a bowling alley, Simon realized it was the Anglepoise lamp's magnetic field affecting the display.
Simon humorously questioned how to explain complex concepts such as magnetic fields to people who dispense bowling shoes for a living.
