While I have been known to overlook very simple things and make my job far
harder, in this case I am certain the power source is good, the cord is good
and the connection to the computer is good. That doesn't mean I am not
overlooking something very simple, just that those particular simple things
have been covered. I'll see what I can learn tomorrow about replacement power
supplies.
BTW: one thing I have learned is that CO2 dectors are deliberately designed to
fail 7 years after first plugged in. I don't remember exactly when I bought
mine, but 7 years seems about right, so it appears that it is just a
coincidence that both failed while I was gone.
