    You did read the instructions did you not.
    Don't worry it happens to others too.

    At least you did not need to return it to the store 400 clicks away.

    If they solved that one over the phone for you I would say you are not the first to have that problem.

    I remember being called in on a problem when the wiz bang gear in the auditorium would not work.
    The lecturer his superior half the IT department and two of us Sparkies before we discovered a switch on the side of the monitor that some one had discovered and switched off for the first time ever when packing up the last time it had been used.

    You could have posted a question on here with the model number, underwear size, hair length and sexual orientation etc & we would have asked you "Did you turn it on?"

    There are still some helpful people on here.

If he gets it without working for it; he's a parasite; and if he accumulates it after a life time of hard work, people call him a fool who never got anything out of life."

    Not your fault mate....if an on-off switch isn't immediately obvious to the user of the appliance then IMHO it is a very badly designed appliance.

    Lets hope this does die down or people will be yelling out in the middle of his instructions at the wood show. "Did you turn it on?"
