Error Messages
Your computer’s built-in memory (ROM) contains a series of
diagnostic programs, called power-on diagnostics, which your
computer runs automatically every time you turn it on. These
programs check internal devices such as ROM, RAM, the timer,
the keyboard controller, and the hard disk drive.
When the diagnostics test RAM, you can see the total amount
of memory currently installed in your system.
If the computer finds an error, it displays an error message on
the screen. Write down the message and give it to the person
who is helping you when you report the problem.
If the error is serious, the computer cancels further checking
and halts system initialization. The error message remains on
the screen and the computer locks up. If this happens, contact
your Authorized EPSON Servicer or the EPSON Connection to
report the problem.
The Computer
Won't Start
If your computer does not start when you press the power
button, try the following:
1. Check the AC Power, Battery Charging, and Battery Status
icons. See Chapter 3 for a description of these icons.
2. Press the power button to turn off the computer. (You need
to press the power button for two second s.) If you are using
the battery, remove it and reinstall it. If you are using the
AC adapter, disconnect it and then reconnect it. Then turn
the power on again.
