Problems when you turn on the computer

Make sure you attached the AC adaptor and power cord/cable
properly.

Press and hold the power button for at least 10 seconds.

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 ON/OFF indicator.
If the indicator is glowing white, the computer is on. Also, try
turning the computer off and then on.

Verify that the computer is receiving power from the external power
source by looking at the ON/OFF light. If the indicator is glowing,
the computer is connected to a live external power source.

The computer starts but when you press a key nothing
happens.

Verify that the active program accepts text input. Try clicking your
mouse on an area where you can type text and try typing again.
