Epson 386/33 PLUS Manuel D’Utilisation

4. If the electrical outlet is working and all the connections

are secure but your computer still won’t start, call your

dealer.

If the computer starts but you can’t see anything on the

screen, see “Monitor Problems,” on page C-10.

If your computer locks up and does not respond when you

type on the keyboard, follow these steps:

1. Wait a few moments; some operations take longer than others

to complete. For example, the computer takes longer to sort

a database than to accept a single typed character. If your

computer still does not respond after a reasonable length of

time, proceed to the next step.

Your computer may take a long time to complete its

power-on diagnostics if you have just made a change in

your system’s configuration. The first time you turn on

your computer after making such a change, it can take

several minutes to finish its self test, depending on what

you changed. If the computer does not display the MS-DOS

prompt after five minutes, press the RESET button and try

again. If that doesn’t work, insert the Reference diskette in

drive A and press the RESET button. If the computer still

does not boot, contact your Epson dealer.

3. Did you disconnect the battery to replace it? Insert the

Reference diskette in Drive A and press RESET. Then run

SETUP as described in Chapter 2 of the Setup Guide and

make sure the settings are correct. Be sure to save your

SETUP information when you exit the program.
