Tablet Scare

I thought my Wacom tablet was broken. All of the sudden it stopped working. I plugged it in and the light wouldn't come on, nor would the pen work. I was scared. I got ahold of Wacom customer service and fortunately my tablet is still under warranty. They said I could send it in and get it repaired free of charge. Sweet.

I went up into the attic to find the original box, and I emptied the contents to make it lighter for shipping. In doing so I pulled out an extra USB cable for the tablet. I thought to myself, "Hmm. It's worth a shot." So I plugged it in and BAM it's working again. Looks like the problem was the cable, and I won't have to lose the tablet for weeks. Bonus!
