2.
If you are using a power strip, surge protector, or uninterruptible power supply,
make sure all the individual devices are turned off.

Then turn on the power strip, surge protector, or uninterruptible power supply.

Turn on any other peripherals attached to your computer, such as a printer,

In the unlikely event that your computer does not power on:

Be sure the power cables are securely connected to both the AC power source
(wall outlet, power strip, surge protector, or uninterruptible power supply) and
the power connector on the back of the computer.

Be sure the monitor is connected to a working AC source. Plug an appliance,
such as a lamp, into the source to verify that it is working.

Be sure any AC outlets involved in the connect are not controlled by a wall
switch that is turned off.
