I turned on the power, but the computer does not start or boot up. Look at the power indicator:
• If it is not lit, no power is being supplied to the computer. Check the following:
- If you are using on the battery, it may be low and unable to power the
computer. Connect the AC adapter to recharge the battery pack. - Make sure that the AC adapter is properly plugged into the computer
and to the power outlet.
- Is a disc in the optical drive? Remove it and press <Ctrl> + <Alt> +
<Del> to restart the system. - Do you have a USB storage device (USB disk or smartphone)
plugged into your computer? Unplug it and press <Ctrl> + <Alt> +
<Del> to restart the system.
The computer’s power management system automatically blanks the screen to save power. Press any key to turn the display back on.
If pressing a key does not turn the display back on, three things might be the cause:
- The brightness level might be too low. Press <Fn> + < > (increase) to
adjust the brightness level. - The display device might be set to an external monitor. Press the
display toggle hotkey <Fn> + <F5> to toggle the display back to the
computer. - If the Sleep indicator is lit, the computer is in Sleep mode. Press and
release the power button to resume.
- The volume may be muted. In Windows, look at the volume control
(speaker) icon on the taskbar. If it is crossed-out, click the icon and
deselect the Mute all option. - The volume level may be too low. In Windows, look at the volume
control icon on the taskbar. You can also use the volume control
buttons to adjust the volume. - If headphones, earphones or external speakers are connected to the
line-out port on the computer, the internal speakers automatically turn
off.
The keyboard does not respond.
Try attaching an external keyboard to a USB port on the computer. If it works, contact your dealer or an authorized service center as the internal keyboard cable may be loose.
The printer does not work. Check the following:
- Make sure that the printer is connected to a power outlet and that it is
turned on. - Make sure that the printer cable is connected securely to a USB port
and the corresponding port on the printer.
Note: If your system is the multilingual version, the operating system and language you choose when you first turn on the system will be the only option for future recovery operations.
