Look at the Power status indicator:

•If it is not lit, no power is being delivered to the computer. Check the following:

•If you are running on battery power, the battery may be low and unable to power the computer. Connect the AC adapter to recharge the battery pack.

•If you are running on mains power, make sure that the AC adapter is properly plugged in to the computer and to the power outlet.

Nothing appears on the screen.

The computer's power management system automatically blanks the screen to save power. Press any key to turn the display back on.

•The brightness level might be too low. Press Fn + → hot key to increase the screen brightness level.

•The display device might be set to an external monitor. Press the Fn + F5 hot key to toggle the display setting.
