    very common, very basic, but at the same time, (extremely heflpul) thanks so much for this information. This reminds me of working on the electrical in your car. many people assume the worst and try to deal with that first. when its most times just a blown fuse or some other small ,easy fix. thats kinda what your showing us here, take care of the simple things first, then devote time to the more difficult tasks.
