Heheh....good story. Surprisingly enough though, that's one of the most common things you see in troubleshooting guides, no matter if it's for a computer, tv, radio, whatever. Seems like the troubleshooting guide always has one of the first things being "Is the device plugged in?" I usually look at that and think "Now that's rather obvious!", but then I realize.....if it wasn't a common reason, it wouldn't be in the book.
