How many techs does it take to turn on a computer?
InfoWorld – May 29, 2007
Floor tech support was generally handled by the server techs. Anyway it was a Monday morning. A user called in unable to get his computer to boot up. After spending almost 45 minutes trying to troubleshoot the problem I had resolved that it sounded like either: a) the user didn’t know what he was doing and didn’t know how to turn on his computer or b) the power supply was dead and would require a floor tech to verify it was indeed dead and order the replacement. So a junior floor tech was sent out to investigate and assist the user. It was approaching 30 minutes later when I got a call from the junior tech from the dead PC. He verified that indeed the PC would not power up and had no power indicators lit… So a junior floor tech was sent out to investigate and assist the user. It was approaching 30 minutes later when I got a call from the junior tech from the dead PC. He verified that indeed the PC would not power up and had no power indicators lit. I walked the junior tech through checking the LEDs on the motherboard and checking the wall outlet (using the light in the cubicle) and the outlet was good. After spending a little more than 15 minutes trouble shooting tech-to-tech I headed out to see if I could find the problem figuring either the junior tech didn’t know what he was doing or there was a real problem. At the PC I was able to verify that the outlet was good and the PC was not powering up. Figuring it could be a bad power strip we even tried swapping out the power strip ensuring that every plug was securely seated in the power strip.
