-===== It won't start! ===== 
- 
- 
-So your Satiator won't boot... where do you begin? 
- 
-First of all, check your Saturn's backup battery - if the battery's flat, it won't even try and start the Satiator, and you'll just land on the CD player screen. Usually you can tell the battery's flat because it'll ask you to set the time and language when you power it on. 
- 
-If your Saturn battery is OK, look at the LED on the Satiator when you power the console on. What is it doing? 
- 
-  * [[troubleshooting#red LED|It stays red]] 
-  * [[troubleshooting#orange LED|It goes orange, and stays that way]] 
-  * [[troubleshooting#blink codes|It's blinking a pattern]] 
-  * [[troubleshooting#black LED|There's no LED lit?]] 
- 
-==== Red LED ==== 
- 
-If the LED is red, it usually means the Satiator hasn't been pushed all the way into the slot. On some consoles, you may need to give it a firm push to seat it all the way. 
-It's also possible that the cartridge just needs to be reseated. 
- 
-==== Orange LED ==== 
- 
-An orange LED means that the Satiator is waiting for the Saturn to begin talking to it. 
-This is most commonly caused by bad contacts; the Video CD slots on our consoles are getting on a little these days! Depending on your slot's condition, you may need to reinsert the cartridge quite a number of times for it to make good contact. 
- 
-You will also get an orange LED if something else interrupts the boot process, for example an Action Replay cartridge or an inserted game. This includes other ODEs which launch their own menu on boot. 
- 
-==== Black LED ==== 
- 
-Your Satiator is not making contact with the cartridge connector. 
-Start by pulling it out and checking the orientation. The Satiator logo should be facing up. 
-Insert it firmly to make sure it's fully seated. You should be able to close the console's Video CD door without it touching the SD card.

-====== Blink codes ======
