Occasionally, you may experience a power failure in all or part of the computer. A total
power failure is indicated by the absence of electrical activity (such as status light -
emitting diodes [LEDs] and sounds) from the keyboard, display, hard-disk drive, and
diskette drive. In a partial power failure, one or more of these indicators shows that
there is power to a part of the computer.
To determine if there is any power to the computer, make a copy of the Diagnostics
Checklist found in Chapter 5 and fill it out as you complete the following procedure:
1. Connect the AC adapter to the computer and to an electrical outlet.
2. Remove all peripherals, including internal devices such as the diskette drive, hard-
disk drive, and battery.
3. Try turning on the computer.
