Yeah; that IT guy is Elmer. His answer to EVERYTHING is to reboot. Probably a loose battery connection caused the loss of power.

This is a future I'm actually glad I won't have to be a part of.

True story, about 3 weeks ago my wife takes the car to go to the grocery store to pick up a few things. We only have one car so I'm home without any transportation. My cell phone rings and my wife tells me "the car won't start", I ask all the preliminary questions, is it in park, does the engine turn over, did you turn the key and move the steering wheel, etc. all her answers were yes, she tried different things. I have one of those lithium battery packs to jump the battery in the car I ask her to see if she can get someone from the store to help her. Twenty minutes goes by, my phone rings, she says the store manager came out and the positive battery cable is loose and he tightened it up by hand enough for it to start and she was on her way home. I replaced the battery last year, I can't fathom how the battery terminal came loose, was it never tightened properly, didn't the technician (nobody is an auto mechanic anymore) know what he's doing? I had to go to you tube to make sure I did it right because the owners manual is useless.

I had the same experience with a work truck 2 days after it was in the Goodyear shop and yes it happened to be the same thing a loose battery cable. And it wasn't the first time that this Goodyear shop has messed up with this truck and other people's cars that were recommended to them. The only reason they were recommended to other people and to the business I worked for was because the owner of the business I worked for was good friends with the Goodyear manager. Out of all the eight years I work for this company the only thing that really came good out of the Goodyear store was the fact that I and some of my friends got to get a ride in the Goodyear blimp out of Carson California... I'll never forget how much fun we had ! Steve
