WARNING

When you turn off the computer, always wait at least five

seconds before turning it back on.. You can damage your

computer if you turn it off and on rapidly.

2.

If the

Power/Speed

light still does not come on, turn off the

power switch. Check to see that the AC adapter is securely
connected to both the computer and an electrical outlet. Make
sure the green LED on the AC adapter is illuminated. 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, contact your Epson

dealer.

The LCD Screen Is Blank

If the computer starts up but no image appears on the LCD screen,

follow these steps to solve the problem:

1. Use the contrast switch and the brightness switch to adjust the

screen display.

2. To save power, the LCD screen turns off automatically after a

specified period of time. If this happens, press any key to restore

the display. To change the time limit or turn off the light-off

feature, see “Backlight Period” in Chapter 2.

3. If you still don’t get an image on the screen, check to see that

DIP switch 4 above the keyboard is in the on position to select

the LCD screen as the display device. Also be sure that DIP

switch 5 on the back panel is on. (See “Setting the DIP

Switches” in Chapter 1 for instructions.)
