The following questions are possible situations that may arise during
the use of your computer and each is followed by easy answers and
solutions to the situation.
Q: I pressed on the power switch but the system did not boot up.
A: Check the LED located at the center of the power switch.
If the LED is not lit, no power is being applied to the system. Do any of
the following:
• Check if you plugged the power cable properly 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 nonbootable (nonsystem) diskette in the floppy drive? If yes,
remove or replace it with a system diskette and press Ctrl + Alt +
Del to restart your computer.
• The operating system files may be damaged or missing. Insert the
startup disk you created during Windows setup into the floppy
disk drive and press Ctrl + Alt + Del to restart your computer.
This will automatically diagnose your system and make necessary
fixes.
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.
If pressing a key does not work, you can restart your computer. If
restarting your computer does not work, contact your dealer or the
technical support center for support.
Q: The printer does not work.
A: Do the following:
• Make sure that the printer is connected to a power outlet and that
it is turned on.
• Make sure that the printer cable is connected securely to the
system’s parallel port and the corresponding port on the printer.
See “Printer” on page 37 for information on how to connect the
printer to your computer.
