Power-on problems
If the system fails to boot after you have applied power, check the following factors that might have caused the boot failure.
•The external power cord may be loosely connected.
Check the power cord connection from the power outlet to the power cord socket on the rear panel. Make sure that the cord is properly connected to the power outlet and to the power cord socket.
•No power comes from the grounded power outlet. Have an electrician check your power outlet.
•Loose or improperly connected internal power cables.
Check the internal cable connections. If you are not confident to perform this step, ask a qualified technician to assist you.
Warning! Make sure all power cords are disconnected from the electrical outlet before performing this task.
