It's just like any other kind of troubleshooting... if one thing doesn't work - try another. The best troubleshooters simply have more things to try until one works.

I don't troubleshoot, I throw it out and buy another, or, pay someone else to fix it.

It's less trouble in the long run. The only trick is, you aren't allowed to do it to people.
I think the idea was that you should troubleshoot

do meet your standards being put off by your expectations and the way you word them.
