There are a number of reasons why it wouldn't respond.  You still
haven't mentioned if you're using the power supply that came with the
unit.  Chances are (because you haven't mentioned it), you're not.
Which means you're *assuming* the input required is 12VDC.  Then there's
the matter of the adapter plug...  If you have the wrong polarity,
you're liable to not get it to respond at all...
