Troubleshooting
If you encounter a hardware problem, we recommend you to review
the following suggestions before calling for service:
General failure
❑
Are all cables securely plugged?
❑
Are all system components and peripherals turned on?
❑
Is the system main power switch on?
❑
Is the power outlet burned out? You may check this by
plugging in and turning on some other piece of equipment.
❑
Are any cables damaged? Are they properly routed and coiled?
Entwined cables may cause signal interference.
Front panel light doesn’t work
❑
After turning off the computer, check inside the system unit and
make sure that the front panel LED connector for the LED that
is not working is correctly plugged. Refer to “Jumpers and
Connectors” on page 31 to identify the proper LED connector.
“Garbage” or nothing appears on the screen
❑
Is the monitor turned on? Is the screen brightness adjusted
properly?
Warning! Never open the monitor case. The CRT monitor retains very
high voltage levels even after the power is turned off. Refer all monitor
service to qualified service technicians.
Keyboard is dead
❑
Is the keyboard cable plugged in? Turn off the system and plug
in the keyboard.
Caution: Do not plug or unplug the keyboard while the power is on.
Printer doesn’t work
❑
Is the printer power turned off?
