Basic Hints and Tips
Many of the following may seem obvious but they are often the solution to a problem when your computer
appears not to be working.
•
Power
- Is the computer actually plugged into a working electrical outlet? If plugged into a
power strip
, make sure it is actually working.
•
Connections
- Check all the
cables
to make sure that there are no
loose connections
anywhere.
•
Power Savings
- Make sure that the system is not in
Hibernate
or
Standby
mode by pressing the
power button for less than 4 seconds (the power LED will flash orange while in
Standby
mode, in
Hibernate
mode it will be off).
•
Brightness
- Check the brightness of the screen by adjusting the
LCD Brightness Control
Knob
(see
“Right View” on page 1 - 14
).
•
Boot Drive
- Make sure there are no
floppy disks
in the drive when you start up your machine
(this is a common cause of the message “
Invalid system disk - Replace the disk, and then press
any key
” / “
Remove disks or other media. Press any key to restart”
).
