Strange Problems...

I swear some of the strangest problems we find are with our own equipment.

It was driving me insane as to why every day when I went to leave my Cisco IP Phone would reboot itself just as I was walking out the door. After some testing the problem is with my desk lamp that I turn off every day when I leave. Whenever the lamp is turned off, the phone reboots a few seconds later.

Anyone else run into some strange problems with the equipment that they use? -It seems like every couple weeks I run into just some insane issue that I never see from other users.

That's a quick fix. Apply the latest Windows Updates to that lamp.

LOL!

It sounds like some serious wiring or maybe EMI problems.

Hopefully it's not a driver issue, I always have compatibility issues with lamp drivers.

Not quite the same... but SOMETIMES when I turn on my ceiling fan... my TV blanks out for a few seconds... I am not sure if it's the receiver that blanks out or the TV... I replaced them both at the same time, while upgrading to HDMI connections... so, there's no telling. LOL
