If you are using the Notebook 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.
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.
The Power-On Self Test
The Power-On Self Test (POST) runs every time you turn on or reset the Notebook. The
POST checks memory, the main system board, the display, the keyboard, the disk drives, and
other installed options.
