Problem		Check
No lights come on when the board is plugged in	This is the first time I've plugged my board in	A computer USB port or old mobile charger can be used to power the board. If you don't see any lights come on then try another port in your computer, or try another charger and/or wall socket. Plug another device into your charger to see if that receives power.
	The board was working previously	Check that your USB port or charger are still proving power by plugging in another device.
	It's late at night	Late at night there may be no trains running, when this happens you will see no lights on the board.
I can't connect to the traintrackr WiFi network	I can't see it in my list of WiFi networks	Make sure the board is powered and you have pressed the 'flash' button. All the lights on the board should turn on to let you know you are in WiFi setup mode.
