Abstract
Software running on a processor is operable to control the cycled powering down and powering up of components of a self-service terminal (SST) in order to attempt to rectify a fault within the SST without the need to power down the SST core processor. The software can also control the resetting of universal serial bus (USB) ports associated with the components of the SST in order to try and clear faults associated with a communications link between a component and the SST core processor.
