Troubleshooting
You should not encounter any serious difficulties with the Equity I+, but
if anything out of the ordinary does happen, this section should help. Such a
situation usually requires nothing more than repeating a software procedure,
correcting an operating system error, or resetting the computer.
Most of the minor difficulties you might encounter can be resolved by
one of the suggestions below. If none of these solves the problem, consult an
Epson dealer about servicing the computer.
WARNING:
If the computer has to be turned off for any reason,
always wait at least five seconds before switching it
back on. Turning it off and on rapidly can damage
the computer.
The Computer Fails to Start Up
If the computer does not start up when you press the power switch on,
follow these steps to find a solution:
1.
Check to see if the power indicator on the main unit is lit. If it is not,
remove any disks and turn the power off. Wait five seconds and turn the
power back on.
2.
If the lamp still does not come on, turn the power switch off. Then check
to see that the power cable is securely connected to the electrical outlet.
Try turning the power switch on again.
3.
If this fails, check the electrical outlet. Plug a portable lamp into the
outlet you are using for the computer, and turn it on to see if it supplies
power.
The Video Display Does Not Appear
If the computer starts up but no image appears on the screen, follow
these steps to find a solution:
1.
Check to see that the power indicator on the monitor is lit. If it is not,
turn the power off, wait five seconds, then turn the power back on. Wait
to see if the display screen appears.
