After the computer has started up for the second time, go to the section
“What’s Next?” for more instructions, or finish reading this chapter to learn
how to turn the computer off and put it to sleep.
If the computer does not start up, go to the next section, "Problems Turning

Problems turning the computer on?
m Nothing happened when you pressed the Power key.
The battery may be drained. Make sure you plugged in the power adapter,
and that the power adapter is firmly connected to both the computer and a
power source. If the power adapter is plugged into a power strip, make sure
the power strip is plugged in and turned on. If the computer doesn’t make a
sound when you press the Power key, press the reset button (marked with
an I) on the back of the computer. Once the battery has charged you
should be able to use the Power key normally.
If the computer still doesn’t turn on, see “Problems Starting Up the
Computer” in Chapter 5.
