CHECK THE POWER LIGHT— When the power light is lit or blinking, the
computer has power. If the power light is blinking, the computer is in standby
mode—press a key on the keyboard or move the mouse.
TEST THE ELECTRICAL OUTLET— Ensure that the electrical outlet is working
by testing it with another device, such as a lamp.
CHECK THE POWER CABLE CONNECTION— Be sure that the power cable is
firmly inserted into the electrical outlet and the computer power connector.
