I had a hard disk fail
spent an hour trying to explain to the woman on the other end of the line it had nothing to do with the monitor. She kept insisting that I give her the monitor tag number. Problem was I had the computer in the shop and the monitor was on the other end of town.

the error was disk drive 0 failure and she couldn't get past her little script that said to check the monitor. I finally hung up on her, called back and got a guy who fixed it in 5 minutes (sent me a new hdd)

I find that you can hang up and call back and sooner or later you will get someone who knows what they are talking about.
