    What does each step mean?

    1. Symptom reported is the trigger. Look at the device keeps the first check physical.
    2. Power present? reseats a cable or plugs the device in.
    3. Write what you tried is shared, so the next person does not repeat it.
    4. Done ends this pass. Add another diamond if the device is still failing after the cable.
