God they are morons. Who doesn't fix the date/time on something before they even play with it?

Especially when SSL is choking. That's usually the first thing out of my brain when an SSL connection craps out -- date/time skew on the client fooling it into thinking the SSL cert is expired (or in the future, which will break it too). I can only imagine what a mess they'd make of Kerberos .. "what does it mean, "clock skew too great"? .. :p )

I wonder how the date got changed though? Battery dead? Or was it never set from the beginning? It sounded a little like it just stopped working in the description...

Messed up NTP? Or one set screwey because there's some piece of software that expires and they're too cheap renew it?

Maker of the device has had EPIC battery issues in the past. I'm sure it's related.

But seriously? If you are going to get all high and mighty with my tech skills...check the f'ing DATE on the device first!

Now send them a bill for your work BEFORE you return the device.

$50.00 to perform the fix.
$4500.00 for knowing how to perform the fix.
--------
$5000.00

You forgot "$450.00 for not noticing my typos" in invisible email ink. :-)
