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 adaptor and power cord/cable
properly.
Press and hold the power button for at least 10 seconds.
If you are using the AC adaptor, check that the wall outlet is
working by plugging in another device, such as a lamp.
Verify that the computer is on by looking at the Power button. If the
button is glowing, the computer is on. If the button is not lit, try
turning the computer off and then on again.
If you are using an AC adaptor, verify that the computer is receiving
power from the external power source by checking the AC power
light located on the left side of the computer. If the indicator is
glowing, the computer is connected to a live external power source.
The computer displays the WARNING RESUME FAILURE/Windows Error

To continue, select Start Windows normally. This can happen if
the computer was put into Sleep mode and the battery has
discharged. If you performed a shutdown before this message was
