You will have to go to a indoor plant store and buy an adapter. The cheap bastards don't include one in the box. If you buy the ballast at an indoor plant store the adapter is included. They cost about eight dollars and I hope this helps.

It is probably because it doesn't work. The one I bought wouldn't even connect. You could try resetting the whole thing. Otherwise you may have to return

I too just had this start up this past week. I've had to jiggle and reinsert the plug to see if the connection will take. My laptop is only a couple months old, so I'll be calling to see what my options are for fix or repair.

I think I got the same plug you got! I called the technical support for Nautilus and they have been very unhelpful! I think I may just have to find out the model AC Adapter that everyone else gets with theirs and order my own! Can anyone fill me in on the Model/Input/Output that the AC Adapter is?????

You need to make sure you use it's cable like brian4698 mentioned. It is not the standard polarity, so if you use any old cable that fits, you've reversed the polarity and can do damage to the unit.

I have the same problem. One port doesn't work at all and the other is finicky!! Wish I knew. I looked as well!! Believe me I want a new one or my money back Good Luck!

I used an adapter, I'm not sure it would work correctly if you only plugged into the left side. Adapters and other cables are extremely cheap online, so I would just grab what's needed and do it the right way.

Edison's right on both counts. Please remember: Push the plug in firmly and screw it down (that's what those threads are for), otherwise it won't work. I think there are many who don't know this and think it's a bad cable. I did, then read a review that set me straight.

LOL, yeah it is a weird connection, but common. It's a "USB Type A to Mini 4 Pin Cable". Easily found on various sites. Mycablemart.com

It's because it has a different number of pins than the device you are plugging it into. There is no fixing it. You just have to suffer through black and white. Sorry =\

You need to hire or find someone who can read the wiring diagram that came with the unit. Sorry, don't mean to sound short, but it was pretty easy for me. Can't give you a step by step through this text box.

I can't find the connection either. Checked the schematic and I did not see any socket. So I have an adapter collecting dust!

check your cables, try to isolate the source by switching them out. i find a power conditioner works a lot better than a multi-plug. if you can't find it, i would consider return them for replacement.good luck

For those that purchased an ac adapter...where on the unit does it connect? I can't seem to find a plug connector anywhere. Also, what model adapter did you purchase? This unit would be perfect IF I can power it thru an outlet. Thank you very much! - Brian

I would take a look at the board where you will be plugging the cable. If it is tiny 4pin. If it is U-shaped and larger 6pin. Hope this helps. Otherwise, go by instructions until they fail, and then improvise. Good Luck!

Depending on what you are trying to hook it up to. Whether it is a TV or something else there should be a manual. They are red and white plugs on one side and depending on your TV set they are usually the same. you can even get them at the 99 cent store. I would recommend Radio Shack for a more personal service to help you.

It sounds like you dont have one of the ribbon cables plugged in all the way. I hate to tell you to take it back apart, but that seems to be the only advice I can give. :/
