Trouble?

mNothing happened when you tried to turn on the PowerBook.

Make sure that all your equipment is connected properly, then try pressing the Power On (P) key again.

Make sure that the power adapter is plugged into both the computer and an electrical outlet. If you are using a power strip, make sure it is turned on.

mThe computer is on, but the external monitor is dark.

Make sure that the monitor’s power cord is connected, and that its power switch is on. Try adjusting the monitor’s brightness and contrast settings. If this doesn’t work, try restarting your computer.
