    I used to ask customers to unplug their modem, tell me were the pins on the plug all brass or did it have black tips so I knew which model they had.

    In reality I just wanted them to turn the damn thing off and on again

      This is a really solid solution. Everyone knows about the "did you turn it off and on again? " trope so instead of them pretending or what not you make them feel like they’re problem solving with you.
