The Computer Won't Start

If your computer does not start when you turn on the power,
check the following:
1. Is the power light on the computer's front panel on? If not,
remove any diskettes and turn off the power. Check that
the power cord is securely connected to both the AC inlet
on the back panel and an electrical outlet.
WARNING
If you
always wait at least five seconds before turning it back on
again. You can damage the computer if you turn it off
and on rapidly*
Replace the Startup diskette, if necessary, and turn the
computer on again.
2. If the computer's power light still does not come on, check
the electrical outlet for power. Turn off your computer and
unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. Plug a lamp
into the wall outlet, and turn it on to see if the outlet
supplies power.
3. If the electrical outlet is working and all the connections
are secure but your computer still won't start, call your
Epson dealer.
