I am not limited to ineptitude with computers -- I [bleep] up all kinds of other high-techery too. The more useless the function built in at the factory, the more likely I am to run afoul of it.
Sooo, our new micro wave has a "Reminder" button that I inadvertently activated while groping in the semi-dark for another command. (Why is it there at all? I dunno! I forgot!)
Now the damn thing goes off every night @ midnight -- not at a precise time but @ midnight -- and I cannot convince it to stop beeping until it runs its full cycle of gradually increasing beeps or to go away altogether. It finally just stops on its own when it decides I am reminded enough and the air is blue with profanity my DI taught me.
Hitting the stop button has no effect. Rehitting the "Reminder" button in hopes of getting a prompt for other commands is useless. There is no other command on the panel that seems remotely linked to the damn thing. (Jesus H Christ, I think there is even a button for micro-ing the cat.)
What ever happened to micros with just a timer and an On/Off switch? IMO they add all these useless gizmos to justify price gouging.
Instruction booklet? Who the hell keeps those?
My .35 Whelen beckons from the gun safe...
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I already have some ideas that end with geeks rolling in the dust and a lot of time with lawyers.
Thanks for any help.
