Error Messages

Your computer’s built-in memory (ROM) contains a series of

diagnostic programs, called power-on diagnostics, which your

computer runs automatically every time you turn it on. These

programs check internal devices such as ROM, RAM, the timer,

the keyboard controller, and the hard disk drive.

When the diagnostics test RAM, you see the total amount of

memory currently installed in your system. If the computer

finds an error, it displays an error message on the screen. Write

down the error message and give it to the person who is

helping you when you report the problem.

If the error is serious, the computer cancels further checking

and halts system initialization. The error message remains on

the screen and the computer locks up. If this happens, contact

your Authorized Epson Servicer as soon as possible to report

this information and the error message.

The Computer Won’t Start

If your computer does not start when you press the power

button, try the following:

1. Check the power light. If it is on, the computer is on and you

should follow the steps under “The LCD Screen is Blank”

later in this appendix. If the light is not on, go to step 2.

2. Press the power button to turn off the computer. If you are

using the battery pack, remove it and reinstall it. If you are

using the AC adapter, disconnect it and then reconnect it.

Then turn the power on again.

3. If the computer still does not start, the problem is probably

caused by the power source; see “Battery Problems” or

“AC Adapter Problems,” below.
