Questions and answers
Hi! I’ve had my machine for a few years now but now it’s not turning on. Not sure if this is a cord issue, but I’ve tried different electrical outlets without luck. Any advice?
The issue could be due to an obsolete or faulty power cable, as mentioned in the context. The power cable is described as "klutzy" and possibly an obsolete design, which may prevent proper connection. Additionally, ensure that the power cable is securely connected and not damaged. If the issue persists, consider replacing the power cable or contacting the seller or manufacturer for support.
