Try Power Cycling

You may have never heard of power cycling before but it is a great trick that solves a wide range of problems with electrical devices.  For example, if your printer isn’t responding after you have requested something to print, or if your Internet cable modem is not working properly a power cycle will often fix it.  A power cycle is performed by simply unplugging the power cable from the outlet and waiting for about 30 seconds before plugging it back in.  This action refreshes your device and almost always solves the problem.  So, if you’re having trouble with one or more of your electronic gadgets, before throwing it out or spending money on unnecessary repairs, be sure to power cycle.  It’s amazing how something so simple can solve so many problems!
