      If your Molecular Devices Measuring Instruments isn't getting power (the LCD shows no display), ensure the power cord is securely plugged into both a functioning power outlet and the receptacle at the rear of the SPECTRAmax PLUS[384]. Also, verify that the power cord isn't loose or disconnected and that the power outlet is working correctly. If the issue persists, try replacing the fuses.
