Power Problem

When you press the power button, the computer does not turn on

• If the AC adapter cable is connected to a surge protector or UPS, ensure that the surge

protector or UPS is securely connected to an electrical outlet, is switched on and is
working correctly.

• Check that the wall outlet is working properly by testing another device such as a radio or

lamp that you know works. If the wall outlet is not working, contact an electrician or your
power company for further assistance.

• If the problem persists, contact Alienware support (see “Contacting Alienware“ on

page 113).
