Need Help?
If you don’t see anything on your screen or you think your computer did not start up
properly, check these items:
 Is the computer plugged into a power source? If it is plugged into a power strip, is
the power strip turned on?
 Is the power cord securely plugged into the back of the computer?
 Are the keyboard and display cables connected correctly?
 Is the display turned on? Are the brightness and contrast controls on the display
adjusted correctly? If your display has brightness and contrast controls, adjust them.
 Restart your computer. Press and hold the computer’s power button for
approximately 5 seconds until the computer turns off. Press it again to turn the
computer on.
 If you see a blinking question mark on the screen or see a series of flashes from the
status light when you turn on the computer, see Chapter 4, “Troubleshooting,” on
page 71.
