First time with an Axis Camera, need help getting started

[ctccromer]

My teacher and I just tested everything with a voltmeter and the PDP is indeed giving 5.05V (from 5.0 to 5.1, so its good) and the polarity is correct (tested the wrong way too but still didnt work).
We tested everything we could think of and the wires ARE giving off the correct power. The camera lights still arent coming on. I plugged it into an ethernet to the clamshell as a last ditch effort but still nothing.

Is there any way to debug or attempt to fix the Axis Camera itself since we know the cables arent the issue, or should I just declare it broken and look for a replacement camera?
