Troubleshooting setup problems

When I turned on the computer, nothing happened even after I waited 
a couple of minutes.

Make sure the power cable is securely plugged into the back of the 
computer and into a live AC power source such as a live AC wall 
outlet, power strip, or surge suppressor.

When I started the computer, I heard the startup beep, but nothing 
appears on my screen.

Make sure the monitor’s power cable is securely plugged into a live 
AC power source such as a live AC wall outlet, power strip, or surge 
suppressor.

Make sure the monitor is turned on. (Most monitors include a small 
light on the front of the monitor that indicates when the monitor is 
on.)

Check to be sure the video cable is plugged securely into the video 
port on the back of the computer. (See page 7.) 

Adjust the monitor’s Brightness and Contrast by using the controls 
located on the front of the monitor.

My mouse and/or keyboard aren’t working.

Check to be sure the mouse and/or keyboard are securely plugged into 
their respective ports. (See page 7.)

No sound is coming from my speakers.

Make sure that the speakers’ audio cable is securely plugged into the 
top speaker jack on the back of the computer (page 7) and into the 
back of the main speaker (the speaker with the controls). 

Verify that the power adapter is plugged into a live AC source such as 
an AC wall outlet, power strip, or surge suppressor, and that the 
adapter’s cable is plugged securely into the back of the main speaker.

Confirm that the speakers are turned on by pressing the power button 
on the master speaker. (Your speakers may include an LED light that 
comes on when the speakers are on.)

Note: 
Speakers are 
optional. Your 
system may not 
include speakers.
