Diagnosing Switch Indicators
Power and Cooling Problems
If the power indicator does not turn on when the power cord is plugged in, you may
have a problem with the power outlet, power cord, or internal power supply.
However, if the unit powers off after running for a while, check for loose power
connections, power losses or surges at the power outlet. If you still cannot isolate
the problem, then the internal power supply may be defective.
