Let us know if the cable was the problem.

Do not worry about the things you didn't think to include in your 
original message. When you are not sure how to troubleshoot the 
problem, it is hard to know what information is needed.

One advantage to lists like this one is that you get more people 
looking at the problem, and one person's question can give a hint to 
someone else about where to look for the problem. Troubleshooting is 
often a team effort.
