What technical issues did you ignore for an extended period of time? (leminal.space)

On my old phone I had an issue with the proximity sensor and front facing camera. This led me to holding my phone backwards to take photos and being unable to hang up phone calls.

I think I put up with this for a year and a half.

I did end up figuring out the issue with the proximity sensor but opening up my phone to reconnect the camera module was too much effort for me.

When I turn on my PC, it goes into BIOS and I have to Save and restart for it to boot. It doesn’t detect the boot drive at first. Sometimes it does. Been like this for the past 5 months

Check inside your BIOS if you can add a delay to the startup or disable skips for a faster boot. Sounds like the drive need some time to wake up.

Naaah it’s fine, it’s either the CPU not making contact or I scratched the MB with a SATA cable. The boot drive is m.2 so it’s not the cable. Cos it’s started happening after I changed the CPU, and while doing that a SATA cable got stuck behind the MB and I pull it out with force instead of unscrewing the MB :) I just can’t be bothered figure it out anymore lol
