The following is a list of possible situations that may arise during the 

use of your computer.  Easy answers and solutions are provided for 

each one.

I opened the display and pressed the power switch, but computer 

does not start or boot up.

Look at the Power indicator:

If it is not lit, no power is being applied to the computer.  Check 

the following:

If you are running on battery power, it may be low and unable 

to power the computer.  Connect the AC adapter to recharge 

the battery pack.

Make sure that the AC adapter is plugged in properly to the 

computer and to the power outlet.

If it is lit, check the following:

Is a non bootable (non system) diskette in the floppy drive?  

Remove or replace it with a system diskette and press Ctrl Alt 

Del to restart the system.

The operating system files may be damaged or missing.  Insert the 

startup disk you created during Windows setup into the floppy 

drive and press Ctrl Alt Del to restart the system.  This will 

diagnose your system and make necessary fixes.

Nothing appears on the screen.

The computer's power management system automatically blanks the 

screen to save power.  Press any key to turn the display back on.

If pressing a key does not turn the display back on, two things might 

be the cause:

The brightness level might be too low.  Press Fn   (increase) and 

Fn   (decrease) to adjust the brightness level.

The display device might be set to an external monitor.  Press the 

display toggle hot key Fn F5 to toggle the display back to the 

computer.
