Power is reaching the system unit and monitor. Go to Step 2.

they are turned on.

b. Make sure your system unit and monitor cables are correctly and

securely connected. Make

sure the system unit and monitor power

cords are plugged into electrical outlets. The

the cables and cords should be connected.

wall or dimmer switch.

protector or power strip), make sure it is plugged in and turned on.
