Your approach is better than mine. I forgot about the red battery disconnect switch in the front bay.
Your notes made me laugh too.....
I retired from IT (Information Technology). It was the long, outstanding first question when someone had an issues with the software.... Did you turn it off and then turn it back on? Almost always, that cleared up the computer problems.
A few years ago my wife and I were flying from Charlotte, NC to Indianapolis, Indiana. We boarded the plan and sat, and sat, and sat. Finally the pilot came on the PA and said there was a delay, please be patient. A bit later he came back on again and said they were having technical problems. A bit later he came on and said the grounds crew had to replace the "transponder" in the plane. The plane will now need to be shut off and then turned back on. Please do not be alarmed, all the fans and lights in the coach will go off as the entire plane has to be shut down. This will only take a moment.
At that point, I blurted out to my wife sitting beside me, without thinking, in a rather loud vocal voice, laughing in a joking way ..... Yea, THAT's IT! Turn if off and turn it back on! It always work in IT!
I then noticed EVERYONE staring at me. And then it dawned on me, the people on board that plan were all business men, probably traveling for their jobs and by the looks of their faces.... that deer caught in the headlight moment you know???? They ALL must have been employed by their IT departments and only too well knew what I meant!
It actually was a very hilarious moment for us. And I think the truth of the statement was only too real for those other guys on board.
(And, the actual flight to Indianapolis was completely un-eventful ... as it should have been).
