Troubleshooting Checklist
If you encounter a minor problem with the computer or software
applications, go through the following checklist for possible
solutions:
Is the computer connected to an external power source or does
it have a fully charged battery pack installed?
Is the computer turned on and is the power light on?
Are all cables connected properly and securely?
Did the diskette drive contain a nonbootable diskette when
you turned on the computer?
Have you installed all the necessary device drivers? For
example, if you are using a mouse, you may need to install a
mouse device driver.
Have you installed printer drivers for each application?
Did you exit properly from Windows before shutting off your
computer? Failure to exit properly can result in file corruption.
Have you scanned the computer for viruses?
