Morgan,
A customer support staff member has replied to your support request, #115873 with the following response:
Morgan,
You can try wiping the unit with Windex on a paper towel this will release any static on the unit. If that doesn't help then I can try sending you a new power adapter to try. I don't want to suggest returning it to us as of yet. we can try the things I suggested first.
We hope this response has sufficiently answered your questions. If not, please do not send another email. Instead, reply to this email or login to your account for a complete archive of all your support requests and responses.
