CHECK THE POWER LIGHT—When the power light is solid green, the
computer has power. If the power light is blinking green, the computer is in
standby mode—press a key on the keyboard or move the mouse. If the power
light is off, the computer is either not turned on or is not receiving electrical
power. If the power light is solid amber, the computer is receiving electrical
power, but an internal power problem may exist—call Dell for technical
assistance (see page100).
