I received a call from a church that was having a problem with their sound system. The powered mixer would only work intermittently. I arrive to the church at the appointed time and follow the woman into the sanctuary where she powers up the system by plugging an IEC cable into the back of the mixer. The lights came on for a few seconds then blinked out.
I proceeded to the rear of the mixer and wiggled the IEC connector discovering it was a very loose connection. With needle nose plyers I carefully bent two of the mixers IEC prongs ever so slightly inward then plugged the power cord back in. Nice tight fit. Total time - 2 minutes - earns a one hour service call.
