Troubleshooting checklist

Before running diagnostic utilities, use the following checklist to find possible solutions for computer or

software problems.

●

Is the computer connected to a functional AC power outlet?

●

Is the computer powered on?

●

Is the blue power light illuminated?

●

If the internal display is dim, adjust the internal display brightness and contrast controls.

●

Press the Caps Lock key several times. If the Caps Lock LED toggles on and off, the keyboard is

operating correctly.

●

Check cables for loose or improper connections.

●

After installing a non-plug and play (PnP) expansion board or other option (such as a diskette

drive), reconfigure the computer.

●

Are all necessary device drivers installed?

●

Have all printer drivers been installed for each application?

●

Have you removed CDs and USB drive keys before powering on the computer?

●

Are you running the latest version of BIOS, drivers, and software?
