Have you tried turning it OFF & ON?

Ever had something not working and you call for help & the first thing they say is "have you tried turning it on or off" & you just flip out because you think they think you're stupid and it's such an obvious thing to do..

Well long story short, my sister's macbook was heating up & then it basically sounded like something was about to blow up & since then, her laptop shut down & didn't turn on or even flash anything. It didn't even charge. She tried to turn it off & on for about 2 days & nothing worked. (Fixing a burnt out battery is $100 at apple).. anyways, for the entire 1 month winter break she couldn't use her laptop.  She left it sitting in her room & just stared at it with anger. After the break she obviously need the laptop working for school so she took it to apple with $100 ready to fix it. Right away the tech guy asked "have you tried turning it on" & she flipped out saying "obviously i did.. blah blah blah" & guess what? With a single push of a button her laptop turned on & was working perfectly.

Apple laptops have this defence mechanism where it shuts down the system for 2 days whenever something is happening that threatens the battery or any internal system. After 2 days all you have to do is simply turn it on.

Moral of the story?.. did you really turn it off & on? Oh & apple is DA BOMB.
