I always thought it was an urban myth... even when I was doing phone support for a second-hand computer shop it never happened... but I just solved a relative's laptop problem over the phone by asking if it was plugged in. The answer, of course, was that it wasn't, and the battery was flat.

I spent an hour on the phone with the inlaws once, trying to get their modem issues sorted out, only to find out they didn't realize it had to be plugged in. Gah.

I've had precisely the same problem with the parents. If only it was a myth...
