Have you tried turning it [off and] on [again]?

"Good morning IT-helpdesk, this is Anne speaking."
"Yeah good morning, this is A. Technical. I'm in a meeting room, but I can't get the beamer to work."
"Alright, can you check if it's connected to the computer properly?"
"Yeah, I think everything's plugged in, but I can't get it to turn on! Could you send someone over? I'm really not very good at technical stuff and it's urgent!"
"Alright, I'm going to see if we can fix it right now, because that's much faster than sending someone over, alright? If you look on the beamer, is there an on button?"
It's quiet for a moment."Oh! Yes! There it is! It's working now! Thank you so much! That really was much quicker!"
I'm trying to think of something witty to say about this, but I'm really not sure sarcasm can make this more absurd.
