Actually, I've asked people to do this. It's a polite way of saying
"make sure you've got the cable plugged in the right connectors",
and
makes the user actually check. Normally, when you say "is it plugged
in?" you get "of course, do you think I'm an idiot?" as the
reply.
Asking them to switch the cable round often clears the problem, without
the user having to tell you that they've plugged it in wrong.
Cheers,
Colin.
