  The absolute most common cause of this is a disconnected outlet. 
Even if you've verified before, take another look to make absolute 
certain the outlet is properly connected in the nib. Sometimes I even 
go as far as to specifically disconnect, then reconnect an outlet if 
I'm having trouble - that sometimes "fixes" whatever went wrong.
