Connect the computer power cable directly to an electrical outlet to

ensure that the computer turns on. Do not connect it to a power

protection device, uninterruptible power supply (UPS), power strip, or

extension cord.

Ensure that all power cables are firmly connected, verifying that each

power cable is adequately connected at the computer device and to

the electrical outlet.

Check for interference: electrical appliances on the same circuit or

operating in close proximity to the computer can cause interference.

Swap the power cables between the computer and the monitor to see

whether the problem symptoms change.

If the problem still exists after you complete the basic checks, fill out the

Diagnostics Checklist

as you perform the following steps:

1

Turn off the computer and peripherals, and disconnect them from

their electrical outlets.

2

Wait approximately 30 seconds, and reconnect the computer and

peripherals to their electrical outlets.

3

Turn on the computer.

Does the power indicator on the front of the computer light up?
