Solving General Problems

You may be able to easily resolve the general problems described in this section. If a problem
persists and you are unable to resolve it yourself or if you feel uncomfortable about performing the
operation, contact an authorized dealer or reseller.

WARNING!

When the computer is plugged into an AC power source, voltage is always applied to

the system board. To reduce the risk of personal injury from electrical shock and/or hot surfaces, be
sure to disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet and allow the internal system components to
cool before touching.
