and if the system powers up momentarily when you plug it in, make sure
the power buttons haven't become jammed or stuck in the pushed in

on, you may get a "Registry Error" and the system won't boot. If this
happens you will need to restore from the system CD- ROM. In the Logic
Analysis systems with Windows 7 installation, you can restore the system
