Problems when you turn on the computer<br />

These problems may occur when you turn on the power.<br />

The computer will not start.<br />

Make sure you attached the AC adaptor and power cord/cable<br />

properly or installed a charged battery.<br />

Press and hold the power button for at least 10 seconds.<br />

If you are using the AC adaptor, check that the wall outlet is<br />

working by plugging in another device, such as a lamp.<br />

Verify that the computer is on by looking at the ON/OFF indicator.<br />

If the indicator is glowing, the computer is on. Also, try turning the<br />

computer off and then on.<br />

If you are using an AC adaptor, verify that the computer is receiving<br />

power from the external power source by looking at the AC power<br />

light. If the indicator is glowing, the computer is connected to a live<br />

external power source.
