The Computer Won’t Start

If your computer does not start when you turn on the power,
check the following:

1.

Is the power light on? If not, remove any diskettes and turn

off the power. Check that the power cord is securely

connected to both the AC inlet on the back panel and an
electrical outlet. Replace the Startup or Reference diskette,

if necessary, and turn on the computer again.

Caution
If you turn off the computer for any reason, always wait at

least five seconds before turning it back on, You can

damage the computer if you turn it off and on rapidly.

2.

If the power light still does not come on, check the
electrical outlet for

power. Turn off

your

computer

and

unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. Plug a lamp into

the outlet, and turn it on to see if the outlet supplies power.

3.

If the electrical outlet is working and all the connections are
secure but your computer still won’t start, call your dealer.

Note

If the computer starts but you can’t see anything on the

screen, see “Monitor Problems,” below.
