Problems when you turn on the computer
These problems may occur when you turn on the power.
The computer will not start.
Make sure you attached the AC adapter and power cable
properly or installed a charged battery.
Press and hold down the power button until the on/off light
changes to green.
If you are using the AC adapter, check that the wall outlet is
working by plugging in another device, such as a lamp.
The computer starts but, when you press a key, nothing
happens.
You probably have a software or resource conflict. To clear
the condition, press
Ctrl, Alt, and Del simultaneously, then select
Shutdown and Restart.
Clearing the condition may get the computer running, but it
won’t solve a resource conflict. Read the documentation that
came with the conflicting device and “Resolving a hardware
conflict” on page 229.
The computer is not accessing the hard disk or the
diskette drive.
Your computer normally loads the operating system from the
hard disk. If you have a hard disk problem, you will not be
able to start the computer. Insert a system diskette into the
diskette drive, press the left or right arrow key and choose
your boot-up device.
HINT: Press F12 as you power on the computer to access the
menu.
