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. Make sure the power cord is securely connected to both the AC inlet on the back panel and an electrical outlet. Replace your main operating system 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, unplug the power cord, and plug a lamp into the outlet. 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. See Chapters 4 and 5 for instructions.
