My computer does not start
Check that the computer is plugged into a power source and that it is turned on.

the power is on.
Check that the battery packs are inserted properly and that they are charged.
Make sure there is no diskette in the floppy disk drive.
Confirm that the power cord and all cables are connected firmly.
