Had a customer bring in a 1980s boombox last week and tell me 'the magic smoke got out', which honestly made my day

What's so funny about a broken piece of electronics? That phrase is just a lazy way for someone to avoid explaining what actually went wrong. It wastes the technician's time trying to figure out the real problem. Honestly, it sounds like the customer thought they were being cute instead of just giving you the facts.

I mean, isn't the point that they're just making a joke about it being totally fried? Like, do you actually want a full technical breakdown from a random customer?
