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 adapter and power cable 
properly or installed a charged battery.
Press and hold down the power button for a few seconds.
If you are using the AC adapter, check that the wall outlet is 
working by plugging in another device, such as a lamp.
The computer starts but, when you press a key, nothing 
happens. 
You are probably in Standby mode and have a software or 
resource conflict. When this happens, turning the power on 
returns you to the problem instead of restarting the system. 
To clear the condition, press the power button until it turns off 
the computer.
