CONTROLLER ERROR
The Computer Won’t Start
If your computer does not start when you turn on the power,
check the following:
1. Is the power light on? If not, remove any diskettes and turn
off the power. Make sure the power cord is securely
connected to both the AC inlet
on
the back panel and an
electrical outlet. Replace your main operating system
diskette, if necessary, and turn on the computer again.
2. If the power light still does not come on, check the electrical
outlet for power. Turn off your computer, unplug the
power cord, and plug a lamp into the outlet. Turn it on to
see if the outlet supplies power.
3. If you installed or removed any of your system components,
such as a disk drive, check to make sure you have
reconnected all the internal and external cables correctly.
