CONTROLLER ERROR

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. Make sure the power cord is securely

connected to both the AC inlet

on

the back panel and an

electrical outlet. Replace your main operating system

diskette, if necessary, and turn on the computer again.

2. If the power light still does not come on, check the electrical

outlet for power. Turn off your computer, unplug the

power cord, and plug a lamp into the outlet. Turn it on to

see if the outlet supplies power.

3. If you installed or removed any of your system components,

such as a disk drive, check to make sure you have

reconnected all the internal and external cables correctly.

See Chapters 4 and 5 for instructions.
