Epson Equity II - Manual (Page 51)

Chapter 5
Troubleshooting
You should not encounter any serious difficulties as you set up and
use the Equity II. But if anything out of the ordinary happens, refer to
this chapter. Usually such a situation requires nothing more than adjust-
ing a cable connection, repeating a software procedure, or resetting the
computer.
You can use the suggestions here to solve most problems you may
encounter. If the recommended solution does not work, consult an
Epson dealer about servicing the computer.
WARNING: If you need to turn off the computer for any reason, always
wait at least 5 seconds before you turn it back on. You can
damage the Equity II if you turn it off and on rapidly.
The Computer Fails To Start Up
If the computer does not start up when you turn on the power
switch, follow these steps to solve the problem:
1. Check to see if the power LED lamp on the front panel is lit. If it is
not, remove any diskettes and then turn off the power. Wait 5 sec-
onds and then turn on the power again.
2. If the power LED lamp still does not light up, turn off the power
again. Check to see that the power cable is securely connected to
both the AC input on the back panel and the electrical outlet. Then
turn on the power.
3. If the computer still does not start up, check the electrical outlet. Plug
a portable lamp into the outlet you are using for the computer and
turn it on to see if the outlet supplies power.
The Video Display Does Not Appear
If the computer starts up but no image appears on the screen, follow
these steps to solve the problem:
1. Check if the power indicator on the video monitor is lit. If it is not,
turn off the monitor’s power, wait 5 seconds, then turn on the power
again. Wait to see if a screen image appears.
