Everyday sayings and grown-ups' rules, sentence 7
Turning a device off and on again often fixes software glitches (small faults in how it runs) because it clears its working memory, but it cannot fix broken parts.
Who acts: device · What happens: turn off, fix, run, clear, not fix, break · To what, where: device, software glitches, working memory, broken parts
