Solutions to common problems

The computer is turned on but the screen is dark.

One of the following is probably the cause:

m You have a screen saver program that darkens the screen when the

computer has not been used for a certain period.

Press a key or move the mouse to turn off the screen saver.

m The screen control buttons (¸) are not adjusted properly.

Turn up the screen’s brightness if necessary.

m The Macintosh is not getting power.

Check that the computer’s power cord is firmly connected to the computer
and plugged into a grounded electrical outlet, and that the outlet has power.

If you are displaying video from your computer on a television screen, it is
normal for your computer monitor to be dark.

The computer’s clock keeps time inaccurately.

Your computer has a clock that runs continuously. When the computer is
turned off, a battery keeps the clock running. If your clock begins to keep
time inaccurately, have your Apple-authorized service provider replace the
battery.
