The mouse works erratically
• If the mouse pointer begins moving erratically across
the computer display or becomes difficult to control
precisely, cleaning the mouse will likely improve its

• Clean the mouse by wiping the bottom with a clean,
damp cloth. Make sure that the optical sensor is clean
and free of debris.

Every network is unique. Contact your company computer
department or network administrator for help. For more
information about setting up a network in your home, see the

Power
Your computer will not turn on
• Make sure that the power cord is connected to an
AC power source and to your computer, and that your
computer is turned on.
• If your computer is plugged into a surge protector,
make sure that the surge protector is connected
securely to an electrical outlet, turned on, and working
correctly. To test the outlet, plug a working device, such
