Look at the power indicator:

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

•Make sure that the AC adapter is properly plugged into the computer and to the power outlet.

•If it is lit, check the following:

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.

If pressing a key does not turn the display back on, three things might be the cause:
