Troubleshooting

The following questions are possible situations that may arise during 
the use of your computer, and each is followed by simple answers and 
solutions to the situation.

Q: I pressed the power switch but the system did not boot up.

A: Check the LED located above the power switch.

If the LED is not lit, no power is being applied to the system. Do any of 
the following:

Check if the voltage selector switch located on the rear panel of 
the computer is set to the correct voltage.

Check if you properly plugged the power cable into an 
electrical outlet.

If you are using a power strip or AVR, make sure it is plugged in 
and turned on.

If the LED is lit, check the following:

Is a non-bootable (non-system) floppy disc in the floppy drive? If 
yes, remove or replace it with a system floppy disc and press Ctrl + 
Alt + Del to restart your computer.

Q: Nothing appears on the screen.

A: Your computer's power management function automatically 

blanks the screen to save power. Press any key to turn the display 
back on. 

If pressing a key does not work, restart your computer. If restarting 
your computer does not work, contact your dealer or the technical 
support centre for assistance.

Q: The printer does not work.

A: Do the following:

Make sure the printer is connected to a power outlet and that it is 
turned on.

Make sure the printer cable is connected securely to the system's 
parallel port and the corresponding port on the printer.

For additional information concerning the printer, refer to the 
printer's documentation.
