Checking Cables and Connections
Start by performing a careful visual inspection of the exterior of
the computer. If no LEDs are illuminated, make sure that your
computer and its peripherals are getting power and communicating
with each other properly.
To check the power cables, and connections:
1. If you have been using battery power, connect the
Notebook to an external power source and make sure that
the battery has a charge.
2. If you are using the Notebook with the AC adapter, check
the power outlet, the power cord, and any power switches
that may affect your computer.
¾ Check the wall outlet or power strip with an item that
you know is functioning properly. A lamp or radio is a
convenient item for checking the power. You may also need
to check the fuses and breakers in your electric box.
¾ If the outlet is controlled by a wall switch, make sure
that the switch is on.
¾ If the outlet is controlled by a dimmer switch, use a
different outlet.
¾ If your computer is plugged into a power strip with an
On/Off switch, make sure the switch is on.
3. With the computer’s power switched off, check all cable
connections. If the computer is connected to any peripheral
devices, look for loose or disconnected cables.
If the computer is too close to a wall, a cable connection may be
loose or the cables may be crimped.
