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 you are connected to a docking station with a floppy disk drive or an
external floppy disk drive, make sure the floppy disk drive 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 power control button does not function, 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, plug it in again, and turn on the
power.
Why does a BIOS error appear when my computer starts?
When the battery is low on power, your system may not start properly, and the
message “Press <F1> to resume, <F2> to setup” may appear at the bottom of the
screen. Follow these steps:
1
Press F2. The BIOS Setup menu appears.
2
Set the date (month/day/year). Press Enter.
3
Press the Down Arrow key
to select System Time, and then set the time
(hour: minute: second). Press Enter.
