Tuesday: Fix one: the charger

The tablet screen is still dark.

Rocket frowns. "Is it broken for good?"

Raven asks, "What do you notice near the cord?"

Nova blinks. "Hint: I need power too."

A dark screen may just be sleepy

A dark screen often means the battery is empty.

Empty battery means no power.

No power means a dark screen.

The fix is to charge it.

A grown-up checks the charger and plugs it in.

Then you wait. Charging takes time.

You may look. You do not plug in.
