4.4 Problem Solving
Keep a note of what happens when you carry out the checks in this chapter.
Notebook
The blue power light does not come on when you switch on the notebook.
– Is your notebook set up as shown on the Quick Start Guide?
– Is your notebook switched on at the mains and at the notebook?
– Is the fuse in the plug blown? Replace the fuse.
– Does the mains supply work? Try another item of equipment in the same
socket.
WARNING: A blown fuse can be a sign that a connection, or the wiring in
the plug is incorrect. A fuse can also blow if the notebook overheats: check
that nothing covers the ventilation holes on the back panel.
The blue LED is flashing or has changed colour and/or there is no display.
• This will probably mean that your notebook is in sleep mode.
Mouse
The mouse does not work.
• Check the mouse is plugged into the correct port.
• Check you have the correct mouse drivers loaded if required.
• Check that the ball of the mouse is free to rotate.
