The computer will not start.
Make sure you attached the AC adapter and power cable
properly or installed a charged battery.
Press and hold down the power button until the on/off light
changes to green.
If you are using the AC adapter, check that the wall outlet is

To clear the condition, press
select Shutdown, then Restart to restart the computer.
