Troubleshooting Tips

Bypass power strips, power extension cables, and other power protection
devices to verify that the computer turns on properly.

Ensure that any power strips being used are plugged into an electrical
outlet and are turned on.

Ensure that the electrical outlet is working by testing it with another
device, such as a lamp.

Ensure that the main power cable and front panel cable are securely
connected to the system board.
