Solving Problems

Orange — A good connection exists between

a 100-Mbps network and the computer.
Off — The computer is not detecting a

physical connection to the network.

NOTE: The link integrity light on the network

connector is only for the wired cable

connection. The link integrity light does not

provide status for wireless connections.

Power Problems

If the power light is off — The computer is

either turned off or is not receiving power.

Reseat the power cable into both the

power connector on the computer and the

electrical outlet.
If the computer is plugged into a power strip,

ensure that the power strip is plugged into

an electrical outlet and that the power strip

is turned on. Also temporarily bypass power

protection devices, power strips, and power

extension cables to verify that the computer

turns on properly.
Ensure that the electrical outlet is working

by testing it with another device, such as a

lamp.
Check the AC adapter cable connections.

If the AC adapter has a light, ensure that the

light on the AC adapter is on.
