I love the obligatory arrogant eye roll of the IT chicken in the last panel. It’s just like a human IT guy! haha

And when that doesn’t work punch it in the neck. That was my favorite to tell people. “but it’s a computer there is no neck.” “well there’s your problems then huh.”

Reminds me of the notion of “whack-a-cam”.

Seems like hundreds of Sony CAM owner were receiving the same error message and could not get their CAMs to work – not even through Sony repair. Then somebody discovered that merely giving the CAM a good whack with your palm on one side would suddenly cause the CAM to spring back into life.

Eventually someone managed to discover the underlying problem. A rubber pinch roller would ride up its shaft when the retaining ring failed…. giving the error. The whack would most times reseat the pinch roller… and it would spring back into action. This triggered all sort of discussion about how to permanently fix the problem with stuff around the house – sorry no duct tape.

Key question though was why Sony repair had no idea about the problem.
