      Omg, this was common on dell laptops that had the toggle switch on the side, nearly everyone hit it off when putting/removing it from their bags. And would freak the fuck out when they got to the office an hour before everyone else, including IT.

      I hate people. You don’t have to be a computer person, but use some basic troubleshooting and common sense.

      I have a picture saved of a laptop camera with the lens cover open so I can reply to anyone’s ticket saying their camera is “black”.

      All the help forums I searched to find an answer… and the one that got me was (paraphrasing),

      “Hey, I know this sounds dumb. But do you have a wifi switch maybe? Is it an HP?”

      And it all clicked… along with the issue, as soon as I toggled the switch. A lesson was learned that day lol
