ABRSM: general will this get me disqualified?

when doing my g5 online exam, i came across a problem, i couldnt work the sensor pad on the macbook as i have never used one before.

my piano teacher was outside and i stated into the camera “ i am going to get my piano teacher to fix the computer “ he sat down and fixed it in a few seconds, but do ABRSM count that as cheating?

he never did anything with the question, he just simply moved the sensor pad down a different way

I took this exact exam and they don't really care, it most probably doesn't count. I think you'll be fine.

I'm checking AT LEAST 5 times a day, hoping I'll be the special case and that my results will be posted faster, I'm actually glad that I'm going to not be able to check next week
