The plug on the power supply had a broken wire or something, and the unit was trying to run off the battery, which of course had no charge. I stripped and resoldered the wires and taped the plug with electrical tape. Not pretty, but it works. Otherwise get on Ebay and buy a new or used power supply for cheap.
