What to do if VTech V.SMILE SMARTBOOK V.SMILE™ power light does not come on?

If the V.SMILE™ power light doesn't turn on when you press the ON button, there are a few things to check. First, make sure the new batteries are correctly installed or that the AC/DC adapter (9V 300mA, center-position) is properly connected to the V.SMILE™. If that doesn't work, try disconnecting all power supplies (batteries and adapter) and then reconnecting them. Also ensure the yellow plug of the main unit is connected to the video IN terminal (usually yellow) of the TV and that the TV is set to 'video' mode, selecting the correct video input if there are multiple options.
