On the edge of ignorance

On the edge of ignorance
The church TV stopped working, and everyone, including my leader and the media unit, believed it had a major fault. I was given the task of repairing it, and we planned to get it done on Tuesday. But on Sunday evening, I had this thought to go and check the TV myself on Monday, just to confirm it wasn’t working before we started repairs.

On Monday, I went to the church and got the keys to the media room. The person who was supposed to help me couldn’t come because of exams, so I was left alone with two problems: how to start the generator and how to fix the TV. I didn’t know much about the generator, but after about five minutes of trying, I figured it out, and the gen started running.

With power available, I focused on the TV. I pressed all the buttons I could find, trying different combinations, but the screen remained blank. I was about to give up when I decided to check the TV manual, something I should have done earlier. That’s when I discovered a hidden button at the back, bigger than the others. I pressed it, and to my surprise, the TV came back to life!

I couldn’t believe it. The problem was as simple as pressing the main power button, yet everyone thought the TV was damaged. If we had called a repairman, he could have easily charged us a lot of money for something so small, especially if he wasn’t honest.
