Troubleshooting
Getting Started A–3
Can the Notebook Not Be Turned On?
If the power light is off and the notebook cannot be turned on,
adequate power may not be available to the notebook.
■ If the notebook is running on battery power or is connected
to
an external power source other than an AC outlet, connect
the notebook to an AC outlet using the AC
adapter. Make
sure the power cord and AC adapter connections are secure.
■ If the notebook is connected to an AC outlet, verify that the
AC outlet is providing adequate power by
plugging another
electrical device into the outlet.
When the power light is on, the notebook is receiving adequate
AC
power.
If the power/standby light is on, the notebook is on. If the
power/standby light is blinking, the notebook is in standby mode.
✎
If the notebook can be turned on when connected to external
power but cannot be turned on when running on a battery pack,
recharge the battery pack. For more information about running
the notebook on battery power, refer to the “Power” chapter of
the Hardware and
Software Guide, which is located on the
Notebook Documentation CD.
