Solving Problems

The link integrity light on the integrated network

connector lets you verify that your connection is

working and provides information on the status:

Green — A good connection exists between

a 10-Mbps network and the computer.
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.

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 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.

If the power light is solid white and the
computer is not responding
— The display may

not be responding. Press the power button until

the computer turns off and then turn it back on.
If the power light is blinking white — The

computer is in standby mode. Press a key on

the keyboard, move the pointer using the touch

pad or a connected mouse, or press the power

button to resume normal operation.
