    I’ve used the, unplug it, touch the ends of the plug with your fingers to release the static on the line ans plug it back in line more times than I care to count.

      I have a deep fear that the power supply won’t have a discharge capacitor and they’ll get a shock from it. Completely irrational but its deep seated enough that couldn’t use this one

      Edit: discharge resistor*

      Ohh that’s good. I always use the “try another outlet”, but it backfires sometimes when they move the whole desk to another outlet

        That is a good one too, I’ve had the same result using that one but also they will occasionally state that their different sockets from the same circuit.
