Clare had been complaining for a few weeks that her iPod had stopped working. She wanted to take it in to be repaired. Before we headed out I thought I would take a look at it to see if there was an obvious problem that I could easily fix.
She told me that the device worked when it was plugged into the laptop, but otherwise was completely unresponsive. She proceeded to demonstrate how the screen was dark and how the buttons elicited no response. When she finally handed it to me, my first instinct was to check the "on/off" switch at the bottom of the iPod and to toggle it. To my surprise, the screen came alive and everything seemed to work perfectly.
Slightly incredulously I asked Clare if she had tried switching it on. I won't tell you her response, but rest assured that we were spared a trip to Harvey Norman and the iPod is working perfectly.
