I'd like to tell a quick story about successful troubleshooting.

A few months ago I rented a scissor lift to install lighting at my new office. When it arrived, the delivery person gave me a quick demo and off he went.

Well, when I went to actually use it - the lift went up by about a foot then stopped and screamed beeps of terror. It was broken!

But the display on the control read "18"

Rather than call the rental company, I searched "sinoboom fault code 18" to see what that meant.

@TechConnectify I'm a musician, I'm blind and there's an unspoken, unwritten rule that if you're both of these things, you better know how to troubleshoot because most people won't have the issues you have.
As a result I've become unnecessarily good at it, and I find myself helping fellow musicians on a couple of WhatsApp groups.
It's made me a very different thinker and I can usually, I'd say 92.75% of the time, resolve someone's issue.
I've learnt a lot and continue to learn on the job.
Now, I've made critical thinking a part of how I teach my son, who's just getting into building and fixing computers as well and he loves it. He's 14 and unlike me, has fully-working eyes 🤣
