Be care ful with that statement...I have fixed a lot of machines that people let their "family nerd" try to fix.

Well then they obviously took it to the family "nerd" because they didn't have a family nerd. One with the expereince and skills (not ego) to know that if he/she can't, it truly is broken (and be able to tell why that is for a reason other than he/she can't fix it).
