Complete loss of touchscreen control to rather a lot of equipment :
Down to a switch which had hung. one power cycle and one 15 minute session with open office to knock together a drawing for the information site should the fault happen again.
One dead monitor, must be around 20 years old.
"Throw it in the bin, they are very cheap these days ! "
No chance. Test through the power supply department, mains switch (double pole) open circuit on the line side.
Remove, dismantle, clean, re-assemble, switch now a nice closed circuit on both line and neutral.
monitor safety tested and back into service.
waste : nil
Cost : nil
My time is paid for whether I fixed it or condemned it and bought a £100 cheapy so the firm is £100 better off
"We fix to sub component level"
