CHAPTER 4: TROUBLESHOOTING
Before Troubleshooting
When troubleshooting your HD Entertainment Center, please remember the following
safety guidelines:
• Turn off your HD Entertainment Center and any connected peripherals.
• Disconnect any peripherals from your HD Entertainment Center.
• Never attempt to open a monitor’s enclosure. Monitors contain enough
power, even unplugged, to cause severe injury and even death.
Things to check before troubleshooting:
• Ensure that the power cord is properly connected between your HD
Entertainment Center and a grounded, three-prong power outlet. Make sure that
the power outlet is working.
• Make sure the UPS or power strip is turned on (if applicable).
• If your peripheral devices (e.g. keyboard, mouse, printer, etc.) are not
working, ensure that all connections are secure.
• If any HD Entertainment Center components were added or removed before
the problem began, check to see if you performed the installation
procedures properly.
• If an error message appears on the screen, please write down the
exact error message prior to calling Alienware Technical Support to aid
in diagnosing and resolving your issue.
• If an error occurs in a specific program, refer to the program’s documentation.
