Sounds like the device go fried . Time for a new one . Try a different cable anyway . Your computer might just be more forgiving . See if there is any dust or electrical charing in the Ethernet port . <| sep |> The waterline is an easy fix . Nothing a little isopropyl can ' t fix and as for the connectors yeah it is a little loosey goosey but paper towel does the trick . I bought it because my dog broke my lavoo mp 1 Jr . So I wanted something that wouldn ' t break and the PLX was the answer ! It ' s super quiet and it can produce awesome smoke . And with the purchase of the sky bowl now the only things that will break only cost me less than $ 15 each . Very sturdy base . And it ' s a big conversation piece . THATS a hookah ? !
