2004:

User: "I moved my PC to another desk and now my monitor is off. The hard drive is making noises though. All the power cables are in haha. I made sure the connections were all nice and tight it's a bit strange."

IT: "Okay I want you to follow the video cable from the monitor to the hard drive. It should have a BLUE connector at the end.Can you see the label where it is plugged in?"

User: "..yes it says 'serial', I think?"

IT: "Aha. I'll drop around this afternoon with a spare monitor. That Trinitron monitor you've got will need to go away to be repaired."
