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

My computer wasn't booting properly for a month or two, I think it was saying boot drive not found or something. It would work if I went into boot options and picked my main drive.

The cause? I used the Blu Ray drive for the first time in years, and for some dumb reason, that was listed higher in the boot options. My computer was trying to boot into a Blu Ray of Blade Runner

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
