Meeting participants discussed a loose connector on in-room equipment that intermittently supplied power while failing to provide reliable network connectivity during the session.

The issue surfaced early in the exchange when Speaker 1 said the device had been “loose” and recounted asking an attendee named Penny to stop the device’s operation during a previous occurrence. Speaker 2 described the connector’s function: “So the bottom part of it gives you the power and the top part of it gives you the connectivity,” and said the top part was bent up and could be forcing the connection to fail.

The discussion included a quick troubleshooting walkthrough. Speaker 1 described testing locations around the room and identifying usual seating positions—naming Ted, Mark, Jerry Meister, Cindy Oser, Justin, Stephanie and Gary Walters—to check where the device behaved differently in various spots. Speaker 1 also asked whether “the guy that works on my computer” could change out the connector; Speaker 2 recommended having a technician look at it because some connectors are removable while others are glued to the circuit board.

Participants did not record a formal motion or vote. The exchange concluded with both participants urging a technician or the person who services the meeting equipment to inspect or replace the connector to prevent further intermittent power or network interruptions.

No legal authorities or formal actions were cited during the discussion.
