Some years ago my neighbour asked me to look at her leaking antediluvian washing machine that lived in the coal house (UK). The vitreous coated outer drum had rotted through so I said it was BER. She snarled at me "You'd fix it if it was yours..." I said "Probably" as I retreated, just to annoy her.

I have been there a PC I rebuilt went "faulty" a week later turns out the mains lead on the screen had come loose ( I only had the base unit in the workshop ) but constant switching off and on via the mains had
the OS on the hard drive and needed a complete reload
