on the screen.
• If the screen is blank, make sure that:
- The AC power adapter is connected to the
computer, and the power cord is plugged into a
working electrical outlet.

again for confirmation.
• If these items are set correctly, and the screen remains
blank, have the computer serviced.
When I turn on the
computer, only a white
cursor appears on a blank
screen.
• Restore backed-up files to your Windows
environment or the entire contents of your hard disk
to its original factory contents using the Lenovo
