Checking Connections

Loose or improperly connected cables are likely sources
of problems for your computer, external monitor, or other
peripherals (such as a printer, external keyboard, or
mouse). A quick check of all cable connections can easily
solve these problems. If a connector has two small
screws, make sure the screws are tight. In addition, check
for damaged or frayed cables.

Be sure the following items are properly connected or
installed:

The AC adapter and power cable

NOTE: The AC adapter connector, the AC adapter,
and the AC adapter cable may appear slightly differ-
ent from those shown in Figure 3-1.
