Just putting it here as it is good material to be aware of and hopefully not need.

So you say you took a similar amount of time troubleshooting. Can you tell me why you think sharing knowledge about fixing something should require someone else to spend exactly the same amount of time watching you monologue about it?

Another user posted the critical part what the issue was and how it got fixed in 3 sentences! Making a 9 minute video out of it is just bizzare. If it really has to be a video you could do this in a minute or less and get straight to the point.

I'll start doing this whenever I see a solution to something.

"Oh no, my toilet is clogged. The first thing I'll do is watch it and start thinking about what I should do. Flush again? No, that might make it overflow.

..."

20 minutes later: "I finally found the solution! I just need to use my toilet plunger."

Make sure you film the whole process!

Cause I don't remember.

I spent a few minutes holding random buttons that included the power/sleep button.

This seems like something really odd to argue against posting.
