On my old phone I had an issue with the proximity sensor and front facing camera. This led me to holding my phone backwards to take photos and being unable to hang up phone calls.

I think I put up with this for a year and a half.

I did end up figuring out the issue with the proximity sensor but opening up my phone to reconnect the camera module was too much effort for me.

My old workstation got frighteningly loud every time it booted. I would literally turn the computer on and cover my ears and I would tell others to leave the room. I tried switching fan headers around multiple times desperate for it to stop. I downloaded all of lenovos trouble shooting and went crazy in the bios. Eventually I got a new one (for other reasons) and wiped it to give to my mom and use as a server (so it never boots lol).

I was both pissed and relieved that wiping windows did the trick, after putting up with that stupid fan for 6 months.

Currently putting up with a broken headphone jack. Got the part, but got busy with something else and lost the damn thing. I still have yet to order a new part all the way from Germany.
