Just need to add “software problem” in there.

Real scenario that happened a few years ago in the Shell Ecomarathon team I was part of:

Mechanical Engineer: Your electrical motor put out too much torque and bent the driveshaft.

Electrical Engineer: No, your driveshaft was too weak.

Mechenical Engineer: But you were supposed to limit the torque in the motorcontroller.

Me(part of the management team): Come on guys, it’s broken already, just go and fix it. We have to have it running again tomorrow.

Needs to end with “customer problem” or “software problem”, with both turning to viewer.

LOL! I’m totally saving that GIF

But TBH, electrical problems are mechanical in nature. Like a physically broken wire, or corroded connection, or a failed component...
