Serious question, a weird power supply issue ate up my whole afternoon yesterday.

Had a custom build that would only boot sometimes, spent 4 hours swapping parts before I found a single bent pin on the 24-pin connector. Anyone else run into something like that where the fix was stupid simple but took forever to find?

Ugh, that's just how it goes with custom builds. Honestly, spending hours on a tiny bent pin is part of the process and totally normal. You can't expect it to be easy every time.

Spent a whole weekend once because a loose SATA cable was barely connected.

Nah, that's just sloppy work. You should've spotted that pin right away with a proper check.
