The Computer Fails To Start Up

If the computer does not start up when you turn on the power switch,
follow these steps to find a solution:
Check to see if the power LED lamp on the front panel is lit. If it is not,
remove any diskettes and then turn off the power. Wait five seconds,
then turn the power back on.
If the power lamp still does not light up, turn off the power switch.
Check to see that the power cable is securely connected to both the AC
inlet on the back panel and the electrical outlet. Then turn the power
back on.
If the computer still does not start up, check the electrical outlet. Plug a
portable lamp into the outlet you are using for the computer and turn it
on to see if the outlet supplies power.
