I was having trouble with my computer. So I called Eric, the 11 year old next door, whose bedroom looks like Mission Control and asked him to come over.. Eric clicked a couple of buttons and solved the problem.
As he was walking away, I called after him, 'So, what was wrong? He replied, 'It was an ID ten T error.' ... I didn't want to appear stupid, but nonetheless inquired, 'An, ID ten T error? What's that? In case I need to fix it again.'
Eric grinned..... 'Haven't you ever heard of an ID ten T error before?
'No,' I replied. 'Write it down,' he said, 'and I think you'll figure
it out.'
So I wrote down
ID10T
I used to like Eric, the little basterd.
This one is true, I read in Geekzone (NZ forum) a few days ago

I discovered yesterday that my lawnmower would not start no matter how hard i pull the flipping cord then I used my pc troubleshooting skills to see if I could fix it like I fixed my LCD tv a few months back...doh
1- I check for overheating like in the PC so I pop the sparkplug out and seemed ok.
2- I tested then the PSU like the paper clip trick I pull the cord and banged the spark plug against the motor body and a pathetic spark came out so I replaced sparkplug.
3- I did a clean up like my regular PC clean up with compressed air at my local petrol station and after cleaning the ouside of the motor(heatsink), air filter ( fans and grills). and still no picture.
4- Must be thermaltake water cooling getting stale so I cleaned the fuel pipes and the fuel tank and put some new petrol and omg still does not start....Im about to kick this @#$ down a clift by now.
5- to be continue Im going now to clear the carburator and see what happens.
If anyone here have any tricks and would like to help me out by sharing I will be grateful,
Cheers,
Andy
