Check if the voltage selector switch located on the rear panel of the computer is set to the correct voltage.

Check if you properly plugged the power cable into an electrical outlet.

If you are using a power strip or AVR, make sure that it is plugged in and turned on.

If the LED is lit, check the following:

Is a non bootable (non system) diskette in the floppy drive? If yes, remove or replace it with a system diskette and press Ctrl + Alt + Del to restart your computer.

Q: Nothing appears on the screen.

A:Your computer's power management function automatically blanks the screen to save power. Press any key to turn the display back on.
