I've just checked the manual for my case (Antec) and I couldn't find any information on the meaning of leds, so I think I have a counterexample. As for that laptop, one needs to download a 200 MB ZIP file and browse no less than 50 pages to find a 3-lines explanation which is not even entirely correct or understandable for the target audience. | |

| May 31, 2018 at 14:56 | comment | added | bwDraco | Perhaps we should just leave the question closed, with a note that the question lacks adequate research effort? Despite the community thinking that it's a bad question, I think it's valuable enough for readers at large to justify a historical lock. | |

I still think we need "I couldn't be bothered to do even a cursory search on the Internet or to find my computer manual because it would have answered my question instantly" as a close reason. I suspect that the main reason why it got a misleading close reason is because we lost the "too localised" and "not a real question" close reasons sometime beforehand. For me this is in the same bucket as show me the drivers! in that it shows a complete lack of effort. | |
