Elitegroup A535 - Manual (Page 97)

If you have been using battery power, connect the Mobile PC to an external
power source and make sure that the battery has a charge. 1 1 . .
2 2 . .
3 3 . .
If you are using the Mobile PC with the AC adapter, check the power outlet,
the power cord, and any power switches that may affect your computer.
• Check the wall outlet or power strip with an item that you know is
functioning properly. A lamp or radio is a convenient item for checking the
power. You may also need to check the fuses and breakers in your electric
box.
• If the outlet is controlled by a wall switch, make sure that the switch is on.
• If the outlet is controlled by a dimmer switch, use a different outlet.
• If your computer is plugged into a power strip with an On/Off switch, make
sure the switch is on.
With the computer’s power switched off, check all cable connections. If the
computer is connected to any peripheral devices, look for loose or
disconnected cables.
If the computer is too close to a wall, a cable connection may be loose or the
cables may be crimped.
Do not substitute cables for different devices (other than the
manufacturer recommended cables) even if they look exactly alike. The
wiring inside the cable may be different.
4 4 . . When you are certain that you have power available and all connections are
good, turn the computer on again. If the computer still does not start, you may
have a hardware problem.
