use of your computer. Easy solutions are provided for each one.

Check if power is being supplied to the computer (if your computer
has a power indicator, it will be off); if there is no power, check the
following:
• If you are using on the battery, it may be low and unable to power

You may need to wait a few minutes before trying to turn your
computer on again.
• Make sure that the AC adapter is properly plugged into the
computer and to the power outlet.
If power is being supplied to the computer, check the following:

smartphone) plugged into your computer? Unplug it and press

Del
to restart the system.

power LED, it will flash). Press and release the power button to
resume.
