    I managed to fix it by giving the NBN box a good old smack and power cycle

      Aye I’m glad the ways of the elders have trickled down to the youth.

      I’ve fixed many an old box TV by smacking it on the side.

        It’s kind of hilarious how as soon as something as technologically advanced/sophisticated as modern technology breaks, our monkey brains still resort to “SLAP BOX”, and usually the box of wonders starts working again right afterwards

          I have a laptop I use as a seedbox whose fan will just randomly start freaking out. Sounds like a jet plane.

          I kick it.

          It stops freaking out.

          We have an understanding.
