		<summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;Created page with &amp;quot;=About=  Good news, people. People consider me a master machine builder, yet all the time I&amp;#039;m retarded. You see, I don&amp;#039;t know nothin. Which is why I have the capacity to learn...&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;=About=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Good news, people. People consider me a master machine builder, yet all the time I&amp;#039;m retarded. You see, I don&amp;#039;t know nothin. Which is why I have the capacity to learn and improve. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What does this have to do with troubleshooting? It&amp;#039;s that because we&amp;#039;re all tetardedery limited in our logic. Computers are better. People get confused easily, and can only attend to one or a few details at a time. Except that machines are.xomplex system, with more than a few &amp;#039;moving parts&amp;#039;. That means we get confused easily - but most times the problem is quite simple. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It&amp;#039;s like the joke with the engineer who came in to fix some complex device. He reconnected a small wire in 5 minutes, and charged $5000. When questioned about the exorbitant price, &lt;br /&gt;
He responded that it only cost him $5 in labor, but $4995 for the knowledge of which wire to fix. And that&amp;#039;s how it works - whenever something doesn&amp;#039;t work, it&amp;#039;s a very simple reason.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The engineer example shows a case where deep knowledge was needed. But the good news is - most troubleshooting in integrated system management does not require deep knowledge - as much as a broad understanding of basics&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
t turns out that when something doesn&amp;#039;t work, it leaks, it won&amp;#039;t start, it blows up - there is usually a simple reason why that happens. Unless we are very aware, the reason is easy to miss. And typically with complex devices, there is a lot of confusion because the thing that isn&amp;#039;t working - a simple thing - is surrounded byany other things that take our attention and we cannot see the obvious thing that is wrong. We miss the forest through the trees, as the saying goes &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So this page is intended to provide a huge range of common causes that apply across a broad range of disciplines - mechanics, plumbing, hydraulics, wiring, electricity, therodybamics, stress calculations, etc. Ooh, that already sounds intimidating. But it isnt&amp;#039; - once you begin to see a set of underlying patterns to matter and physics. Once you see  the basic principles, you&amp;#039;ll be able to troubleshoot anything. Some of the things listed here will appear absolutely trivial - duh - everyone knows that. Yet you&amp;#039;ll be amazed how even theost trivial things will stump even the most sophisticated minds.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
