Griff's post below reminds me of a call from my next bro yesterday.

A few keys on his laptop weren't too healthy, to the point he'd open a Word document to find a full stop (period, 0x2e) to (right-click, dropdown...) paste into his browser address bar. WTF | :WTF:
So he dragged out the vacuum cleaner and attacked the keyboard.
WTF | :WTF: WTF | :WTF: WTF | :WTF: with the thing running WTF | :WTF: WTF | :WTF: WTF | :WTF:
Among many other key combinations he managed to hit was one that turned the display off, I think at the BIOS level.

25 minutes later....

Half an hour of my life I'll never get back.
