Helpful Tips:
• If something’s wrong, check the cables first.
• Always be sure the cable is going into the plug the right way. Don’t force it!
• Never plug in or unplug the computer while it is turned on. Always turn off the computer when connecting wires.
• Don’t forget to check that plugs are plugged in on the other side as well. (The wall, the monitor, the internet jack, etc.)
