Basic Hints and Tips

Many of the following may seem obvious but they are often the solution to a problem when your computer ap-
pears not to be working.

Power - Is the computer actually plugged into a working electrical outlet? If plugged into a power strip,

make sure it is actually working. Check the LED Power & Communication Indicators (see

“Buttons &

LED Indicators” on page 1 - 8

) to see the computer’s power status.

Connections - Check all the cables to make sure that there are no loose connections anywhere.

Power Savings - Make sure that the system is not in Hibernate or Sleep mode by pressing the keys config-

ured in your Power Options, or power button, to wake-up the system.

Brightness - Check the brightness of the screen by pressing the brightness buttons to adjust the brightness.

Display Choice - Make sure the system is not set to “external only” display if an external display is

attached.

Boot Drive - Make sure there are no optical media and/or USB storage devices in any connected drive

when you start up your machine (this is a common cause of the message “Invalid system disk - Replace the
disk, and then press any key
” / “Remove disks or other media. Press any key to restart”).
