Based on your question, the program down below has been modified to also include steps that can be taken to resolve problems found with a cell phone. Following the keywords, a list of steps in now included in the PROBLEMS database. Please substitute your own steps for those given. The provided steps are sample ideas but also junk in terms of trying to help someone. You may add a smaller or larger number of steps per solution if you so desire.

#! /usr/bin/env python3

# The following is a database of problems, keywords, and solutions.
PROBLEMS = (('My phone does not turn on.',
