    Did you try that troubleshooter?

    If so what did it suggest and what did you try?

    As it is a step by step process I cannot duplicate it.

    Let us know what steps were offered and what your replies were.

    Did it take you through the diagnostic lights?

    We need a lot more detail here.

    I had previously installed, fixed my problem.
