Help Please with my APM2

I have downloaded and updated APM PLanner 1.1.97. Plugged in the board using the USB cable and it's not getting any power. Don't know if the cable is bad or the board is fried. Can anyone point me to a troubleshooting page?

The Troubleshooting guide is in the manual. If you're not getting any power from the USB, try another cable.

Found the problem. Two pins were touching and shorting out the board. When I realigned the bad pin, the board started working. Thanks for the suggestion.
