I press the power switch, but my computer does not start or
boot-up.
Look at the Power status indicator:
• If it is not lit, no power is being delivered to the computer. Check
the following:
• If you are running on battery power, the battery may be low
and unable to power the computer. Connect the AC adapter
to recharge the battery pack.
• If you are running on mains power, make sure that the AC
adapter is properly plugged in to the computer and to the
power outlet.
• If it is lit, check the following:
• Make sure that there is not a non-bootable (non-system)
diskette in the floppy disk drive. If so, remove the diskette or
replace it with a system diskette, and then press Ctrl-Alt-Del to
restart the system.
• The operating system files may be damaged or missing. Insert
the Windows startup disk, and then press Ctrl-Alt-Del to
restart the system. Windows will diagnose your system and
make necessary fixes.
