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 the system or Reference diskette,
if necessary, and turn on the computer again.
If you turn off the computer always wait at least five
seconds before turning it back on. This allows the
computer to clear and reset its memory.
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 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.
