Check the wall outlet or power strip with an item that you know is
functioning properly. A lamp or radio is a convenient item for checking the
power. You may also need to check the fuses and breakers in your electric
box.
If the outlet is controlled by a wall switch, make sure that the switch is on.
If the outlet is controlled by a dimmer switch, use a different outlet.
If your computer is plugged into a power strip with an On/Off switch, make
sure the switch is on.
With the computer’s power switched off, check all cable connections. If the
computer is connected to any peripheral devices, look for loose or disconnected
cables.

If the computer is too close to a wall, a cable connection may be loose or the cables
may be crimped.
Do not substitute cables for different devices (other than the
manufacturer recommended cables) even if they look exactly alike. The
wiring inside the cable may be different.

When you are certain that you have power available and all connections are
good, turn the computer on again. If the computer still does not start, you may
have a hardware problem.
The Power-On Self Test
The Power-On Self Test (POST) runs every time you turn on or reset the Notebook.
The POST checks memory, the main system board, the display, the keyboard, the disk
drives, and other installed options.
A few seconds after you turn on your computer, a copyright message appears on your
display screen. A memory test message appears next; as the test continues, memory
size increases until all installed memory is tested. Normally, the only test routine
visible on the screen will be the memory test.
