Please ensure you reconnect both the power lead and data cable to the laptop, then close the cabinet door. You must plug both cables in and close the door securely for the cabinet to recognise that the device has been returned. The red light will show to the right of the drawer when you have correctly connected the laptop. It will now be returned, and you can borrow another laptop if you need to.
