  First, ensure the unit is plugged into a functioning wall outlet. Check that the connection is secure and undamaged; replace the adapter or connection at the unit if either is damaged. Make sure all wires in the cable are intact, replacing the cable if any are visibly crimped or cut. Confirm the cable is connected securely and oriented properly, ensuring the small latch on the connector lines up and snaps into place. Inspect the console display for cracks or other damage, and replace the console if damaged. If the console only has a partial display and all connections are fine, replace the console.
