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 that the power is on.
Check that the battery packs are inserted properly and that they are charged.
Make sure there is no floppy disk in the floppy disk drive.
Confirm that the power cord and all cables are connected firmly, as
described in the "Connecting a Power Source" section of the printed Quick
Start.
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.
