Plug

 If something is not working, the first line of repair should be the plug. Yesterday the computer monitor went blank. My husband asked me how to reboot the router. At that point I got up from the couch to asses the damage before it became a bigger problem. He said that he wanted to reboot the entire system to get the monitor back on. I ordered him to step away from the monitor. Hands up. Freeze. Thankfully he complied. I explained that the router had nothing to do with the monitor screen, if the computer was on. I put my hand on the back of the monitor and made sure each plug was tight. One was a bit loose. I pushed it in more and lo and behold, the monitor lit up. This could have turned into a catastrophe. We were one plug away from a disaster.
