Problem: When I turn on the machine, nothing appears on the screen and the machine does not
beep while starting up.
Note: If you are not sure whether you heard any beeps, turn off the computer by
pressing and holding the power button for more than 4 seconds; then turn it on and
listen again. If you are using an external monitor, refer to “Computer screen problems”
on page 21
Solution: If a power-on password is set, press any key to display the power-on password prompt,
and then type the correct password and press Enter.
If the power-on password prompt does not appear, the brightness level might be set to
minimum brightness. Adjust the brightness level by pressing the Fn+Home.
If the screen still remains blank, make sure that:
v The battery is installed correctly.
v The ac adapter is connected to the computer and the power cord is plugged into a
working electrical outlet.
v The computer power is on. (Turn on the power switch again for confirmation.)
