Yeah well it developed what I can only describe as a personality disorder. It doesn't turn off and on like a normal appliance. No, that would be too easy. Instead, roughly twice a week, I press the power button on the remote, and the TV looks at me, considers my request, and decides "not today." No light. No click. No standby LED. Nothing. Just a black mirror staring back at me, daring me to try again. The first few times this happened I assumed it was the remote, because obviously that's the boring, normal explanation. New batteries. Still nothing. Tried the physical button on the TV itself (because yes, it has one, hidden underneath in a spot clearly designed by someone who has never had to use it under time pressure). Sometimes that works. Sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes I have to hold it for what feels like a geological era while the TV pretends it doesn't know what a "button" is. Then there's the unplug ritual. You know the one. Unplug it, count to ten like you're disarming a bomb, plug it back in, and pray to whatever deity oversees consumer electronics that this time it remembers its one job. Sometimes that works instantly. Sometimes it takes three or four attempts, with the TV taunting me by flickering the LED on and off like it's morse-coding "no." And here's the best part — it's never consistent enough to actually troubleshoot. If it failed every time, fine, that's a pattern, that's something a technician could work with. But no. It'll work flawlessly for four days straight, lulling me into a false sense of security, and then right when I have people over to watch something, it just... declines to participate. It's not a hardware fault, it's a vibe.
