password to unlock the PC (refer to "PC Lock Button and to Setting Passwords" in
chapter 3).
Check if you are in a suspend/sleep mode, where by a "power-off" would risk a loss of
information/data (refer to "Advanced Power Management" in chapter 3).

accessory board, keyboard, or mouse.

If Nothing is Displayed on the Screen
If nothing is displayed on the screen, but the PC starts and the keyboard, disk drives, and other
peripheral devices seem to operate properly:
Make sure that the display is plugged in and switched ON.
Check that the brightness and contrast controls are properly set.
Ensure that the display video cable is correctly connected.
Switch off the display, and unplug it from the power outlet. Disconnect the video cable and
examine the video cable connector pins. If the pins are bent, carefully straighten them.
Check that the video upgrade is properly installed if you have one.
