Can you move the cursor around on the screen?""There isn't any cursor, I told you, it won't accept anything I type.""Does your monitor have a power indicator?""What's a monitor?""It's the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV. Does it have a little light that tells you when it's on?""I don't know.""Well then, look on the back of the monitor and find where the power cord goes into it. Can you see that?""Yes, I think so.""Great. Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's plugged into the wall.""... ...Yes, it is.""When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were two cables plugged into the back of it, not just one?""No.""Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find the other cable.""... ...Okay, here it is.""Follow it for me, and tell me if it's plugged securely into the back of your computer.""I can't reach.""Uh huh.
