My wife is always annoyed / amused that my stock response to any non-trivial computer / broadband / phone problem is the magic "power-cycle" method. As she says "4 years getting a BSc in Computer Science, 25 years in the electronics design and software business - and that's the best you can do". I suspect the most annoying part for her is that it nearly always works :-)

Anyway, today that technique just worked again - when even I didn't expect it to. Her new iPhone (two weeks old) was in trouble - it wouldn't charge. We tried multiple different connector cables, and power sources just to be sure - but it just wouldn't register the power supply, and power was down to around 10%. So I made sure we had a current iCloud backup, installed Telegram on her iPad while she still had some charge left (to get the SMS to confirm the main phone number) so she could still get/send messages (and let the main contacts know via What's App). And then (with NO expectations of success) switched it off and back on - and the darn thing is now happily charging.

Why can't we build tech items that don't suffer such problems and get fixed by this solution ....
