I press the power button, but my computer does not start or boot-up.

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.

If it is lit, check the following:

-If the Sleep indicator is lit, the computer is in Sleep mode. Press any key or tap on the touchpad to resume.

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