haha I’m in IT myself, that was funny.
Here is my job:
Me: Can you please log off the computer and let me know when it is at the log in prompt? I will log in to your computer and take a look at your problem.
Customer: Sure, hang on.
Silence…
…
…
Me: Umm…Is it back at the log in prompt? What is the computer doing?
Customer: I turned it off like you said.
Me: See image above
:lol: Yeah, I would imagine the concept of ‘log off’ is lost on your average user.
We could probably fill a thread with these. I guess not everyone is permanently stuck in a troubleshooting mindset. I can’t even leave it at my job. When I go home I get to troubleshoot the printer that’s not plugged in, the sluggish Flash site that doesn’t want to load, etc etc.
Damn guy don’t be such a bitch. Is it that hard to understand that when that little QD popped off the chance of it touching something and shorting out is high? :looney:
If you don’t have/can’t get/can’t use a multimeter maybe it’s just time to pay someone for another pad hack or buy a commercial joystick.
Pro-Tip: Things break. :wgrin:
K. Well I’ve found out what the problem is. There is a lack of voltage to the buttons somehow. Every other button is pushing out around 3.3 volts while the bad button the X button, is pushing out only 1.6 volts. I traced the voltage back and it seems to be bad up till it connects with the main chip.
Any ideas on how to fix this or what caused it to happen?
