Problems when you turn on the computer
These problems may occur when you turn on the power.
The computer will not start.
Make sure you attached the AC adaptor and power
cord/cable properly.
Press and hold the power button for at least 10 seconds.
If you are using the AC adaptor, check that the wall outlet is
working by plugging in another device, such as a lamp.
Verify that the computer is on by looking at the Power
button. If the button is glowing, the computer is on. If the
button is not lit, try turning the computer off and then on
again.
If you are using an AC adaptor, verify that the computer is
receiving power from the external power source by checking
the AC power light located on the front edge of the
computer. If the indicator is glowing, the computer is
connected to a live external power source.
The computer displays the
WARNING RESUME

message.
To continue, select the appropriate option, if prompted. This
can happen if the computer was put into Sleep mode and
the battery has discharged. If you performed a shutdown
before this message was displayed, a program or driver may
have prevented Windows from shutting down.
Data stored in the computer’s memory has been lost. Data
stored in the computer’s internal storage drive may not be
affected.
