Epson 20 - Manual (Page 133)

The Computer Won’t Start
If your computer does not start up when you turn on the power
switch, follow the steps below. (If you have a hard disk, also see the
section on hard disk problems later in this chapter.)
1. Check that the POWER light on the front panel of the main unit
is on. If it is not, remove any diskettes you have in the drives and
turn off the power. Wait five seconds, then turn the power back
on.
2. If the light still does not come on, turn off the power again.
Check that the power cord is securely connected to both the AC
inlet on the back panel and an electrical outlet. Then turn the
power back on.
3. If the computer still does not start up, check that your electrical
outlet is working by plugging a lamp into the outlet and turning
it on.
4. If the electrical outlet is working and all the connections are
secure but your computer still won’t start, see your Epson dealer.
The Computer Locks Up
If the computer-does not respond to your keyboard entries, try the
following:
1. Check the key lock to see if it is locked. If it is, the computer does
not respond to anything you enter on the keyboard. Turn the
key to the left to unlock it. (See Chapter 4 for more information
on the key lock.)
