This is a question IT Support

Our IT support guy has been in the job since 1979, and never misses an opportunity to pick up a mouse and say "Hello computer" into it, Star Trek-style. Tell us your tales from the IT support cupboard, either from within or without.

Chair
My father rang the helpdesk for his new computer. Every time he switched it on it worked for a while then switched itself off. The support guys went through every test and check they could think of with no result. He was just about to take it back to the shop when I went to visit.

I asked him to show me what was wrong. He switched the computer on, all was well. He turned in his chair to get something out of a draw, the arm of the chair pressed the 'off' button on the tower unit under his desk. When he turned back to the computer it was off. Problem solved.
