Solving Problems

Wired Connections
If the network connection is lost
— The cable

is loose or damaged.

Check the cable to ensure it is plugged in

and not damaged.

The link integrity and network activity lights on

the integrated network connector let you verify

that your connection is working and provide

information on the status:
Link integrity light

Green light — A good connection exists

between a 10/100-Mbps network and the

computer.
Off (no light) — The computer is not

detecting a physical connection to the

network.

Network activity light

Yellow blinking light — Indicates activity on

the network.
Off (no light) — Indicates no activity on the

network.

NOTE: The link integrity light on the network

connector is only for the wired network

connection. The link integrity light does not

provide status for wireless connections.
