WARNING

When you turn off the computer, always wait at least five seconds before turning it back on. You can damage your computer if you turn it off and on rapidly.

2.If the status indicator bar still does not come on, turn off the power switch. Check that the AC adapter is securely connected to both the computer (or the battery pack) and an electrical outlet. Make sure the green LED on the AC adapter is illuminated. Then turn the power back on.

3.If the computer still does not start, check the electrical outlet. Plug a lamp into the outlet and turn it on to see if the outlet supplies power.

4.If your computer still won’t start, contact your Epson dealer.

The LCD Screen Is Blank

If the computer starts but no image appears on the LCD screen, follow these steps to solve the problem:

1.Use the contrast and brightness levers to adjust the screen display.

2.To save power, you may have defined a backlight period so that the LCD screen turns off automatically after a specified period of time. If this happens, press any key to restore the display. To change the time limit or turn off the backlight feature, see “Backlight Period” in Chapter 2.

3.If an image still does not appear, check that DIP switches SW1-7 through SW1-10 are in the correct position. (See “Setting the DIP Switches” in Appendix A for instructions.) Check that the CRT/LCD slide switch is in the LCD position. (See “Setting the Slide Switches” in Appendix A for instructions.)
