Have you tried unplugging it and then just leaving it unplugged
@benbrown have you tried turning it off and dropping out again
@benbrown I tried that with my work laptop, but the damned thing has a battery!
@benbrown Good for discharging the capacitors I guess?
@benbrown instructions unclear, dog is still asking for a ball
@benbrown Solve all tech problems with this one weird trick
@benbrown

@benbrown Have you tried to touch to capacitor's pins to discharge it? 🤡
@benbrown Sir, this is a hospital
@benbrown Yes but it didn't boot headless, so I have to try something else. 😂 😅
@benbrown Thank u! You fixed the server noise problem which has been bothering me for a long time
@benbrown in this era of "yes/maybe later" dialogue boxes unplugging is the only effective action

@benbrown "My grandpa still refused to let go"
