Basic Checks:
l Test the electrical outlet: Ensure that the electrical outlet is working by testing it with another device such as a
lamp.
l Connect the AC adapter directly to an electrical outlet: Bypass power protection devices, power strips, and
extension cords to verify that the computer turns on.

the computer can cause interference. Extension cords or too many devices on a power strip or multiple power
strips connected to an electrical outlet can cause problems.
