First steps

If you have problems with your notebook, try these things first:

■Make sure that the AC power adapter is connected to your notebook and an AC outlet and that the AC outlet is supplying power.

■If you use a power strip or surge protector, make sure that it is turned on.

■If a peripheral device (such as a keyboard or mouse) does not work, make sure that all connections are secure.

■Make sure that your hard drive is not full.

■If an error message appears on the screen, write down the exact message. The message may help Gateway Customer Care in diagnosing and fixing the problem.

■If you added or removed peripheral devices, review the installation procedures you performed and make sure that you followed each instruction.

■If an error occurs in a program, see the program’s printed documentation or the online help.
