Troubleshooting Your Notebook

My notebook does not start.

Check that the notebook is plugged into a power source and that it is turned on. Check that the power indicator on
the front panel of the notebook indicates that the power is on.

Check that the battery packs are inserted properly and that they are charged.

If you have connected an external, optional floppy disk drive, make sure there is no floppy disk in the floppy disk
drive.

Confirm that the power cord and all cables are connected firmly, as described in the "Connecting a Power Source"
section of the printed Quick Start.

If you plugged the notebook into a power strip or Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), make sure the power strip or
UPS is turned on and working.

If you are using an external display, check that it is plugged into a power source and turned on. Check that the
brightness and contrast controls are adjusted correctly. See the manual that came with the display for details.

Condensation may cause the notebook to malfunction. If this occurs, do not use it for at least one hour.

Take the battery pack out of the notebook, unplug the power cord, plug it in again, and then turn on the power.
