Fixed a microwave for two hours before noticing the plug was loose
Customer brought in a Panasonic microwave that wouldn't turn on at all. I pulled the whole thing apart, checked the fuse, the door switches, the main board, everything. After like 90 minutes of testing, my elbow bumped the power cord and I heard a tiny click. The three-prong plug was just not pushed all the way into the wall outlet in my bench. Pushed it in, and the thing lit right up. I felt so dumb. Anyone else ever waste a ton of time on a 'no power' issue that was just a bad connection?

Just hung out nearby and let him see me do it a couple times first. Eventually he started asking questions on his own.
