My IQ / Ensign has run trouble feed for a long time, however in the last few days I have been encountering data supply problems and now I am receiving no supply at all. The problem seems to be at my end and since efforts to resolve this issue have been fruitless, I am wondering whether to...

You will need to be quick fubar.
