Troubleshooting Your Notebook
My notebook does not start.
❑ Check that the notebook is plugged into a power source and that it is turned
on. Check that the power indicator on the front panel of the notebook
indicates the power is on.
❑ Check that the battery pack is inserted properly and is charged.
❑ Make sure there is no floppy disk in the floppy disk drive and no bootable
optical disc in the optical disc drive.
❑ Confirm that the power cord and all cables are connected firmly, as
described in “Connecting a Power Source” on page 19.
❑ If you plugged the notebook 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, check that it is plugged into a power
source and turned on. Check that the brightness and contrast controls are
adjusted correctly. See the manual that came with the display for details.
❑ Condensation may cause the notebook to malfunction. If this occurs, do not
use it for at least one hour.
❑ Take the battery pack out of the notebook, unplug the power cord, plug it in
again, and turn on the power.
My notebook starts but a BIOS error appears.
