Diagnostic Lights

CAUTION:

Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the

safety instructions in the

Product Information Guide.

To help you troubleshoot a problem, your computer has four lights labeled "1,"

"2," "3," and "4" on the front. The lights can be "off" or green. When the

computer starts normally, the lights flash. If the computer malfunctions, the

pattern of the lights and also that of the power button help to identify the

problem. These lights also indicate sleep states.
