Troubleshooting Your Computer
Why doesn’t my computer start?
❑
Make sure the computer is securely plugged into a power source and is on.
Make sure the power indicator shows the power is on. See “Connecting the
AC adapter” for more information.
❑
Make sure the battery is inserted properly and is charged.
❑
If the floppy disk drive is installed in the multipurpose bay, make sure it is
empty.
❑
If the computer is plugged into a power strip or Uninterruptible Power
Supply (UPS), make sure the power strip or UPS is turned on and working.
❑
If you are using an external display, make sure it is plugged into a power
source and turned on. Make sure the brightness and contrast controls are
adjusted correctly. See the guide that came with your display for details.
❑
Remove the battery from the computer, unplug the power cord, and plug it in
again. Turn on the power.
❑
If the computer does not turn on, remove the AC adapter and battery. Wait
one minute, and reattach them before pressing the power button.
❑
Condensation may cause the computer to malfunction. If this occurs, do not
use the computer for at least one hour.
❑
Unplug the power cord, press the reset button by using a thin, straight object
(such as a paper clip), remove the battery if one is installed, plug the power
cord in again, and turn on the computer. To find your computer’s reset
button, see “Locating Controls and Ports” in the “Setting Up” chapter of
your supplied VAIO® Computer Quick Start.
