The Computer Won’t Start
If your computer does not start when you turn on the power, check the following:
1.Is the power light on? If not, remove any diskettes and turn off the power. Check that the power cord is securely connected to both the AC inlet on the back panel and an electrical outlet. Replace the Startup or Reference diskette, if necessary, and turn on the computer again.
2.If the power light still does not come on, check the electrical outlet for power. Turn off your computer and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. Plug a lamp into the outlet, and turn it on to see if the outlet supplies power.
3.If you installed or removed any of your system components, such as a disk drive, check to make sure you have reconnected all the internal and external cables correctly.
4.If the electrical outlet is working and all the connections are secure but your computer still won’t start, call your dealer.
