Showerthought: I keep seeing techs skip the basic voltage check on power supplies
Had a client bring in a gaming rig from a shop in Austin that said the whole board was dead, but their meter showed 0.0V on the 12V rail before they even started. How many times have you seen a simple power check get missed, leading to a wrong diagnosis?

It's wild how often that happens. I've even seen techs swap out a motherboard before checking if the wall outlet had power. Maybe some people just want to jump to the more interesting fix, but you gotta follow the steps.

Maybe they're scared of the simple answer.
