Ha. I had a coworker gift me a high end amp because the volume was all crackly. Opened it up sprayed electronic cleaner on the volume rheostat thingy and gave it a few back and forth turns. Perfect sound. I offered it back but he’d already purchased a new one. :/

My grandmother gifted me their old TV back in the 2000s because it was only showing black and white.
They had a mechanic look at it who said it was broken
Their was a button to change the saturation to get the TV back to show colours

I had something similar, except it was a blown fuse.
Granted, the fuse was soldered in place and you had to take it apart to get to it. But once it was replaced it worked perfectly. No idea why the fuse blew either, unless it was just defective.

I know someone who bought a new laptop and complained that the display broke after only a couple weeks
It only showed a super dim display and the viewing angle sucked
I pressed the fancy new “privacy screen” button and it “worked flawlessly” again
