If Something Goes Wrong
Problems when you turn on the computer
5.375 x 8.375 ver 2.3.2
The computer starts but, when you press a key, nothing
happens.
You are probably in Stand By 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
Ctrl, Alt, and Del simultaneously.
Clearing the condition may get the computer running, but it
won’t solve a resource conflict. Read the documentation that
came with the conflicting device and “Resolving a hardware
conflict” on page 154.
The computer is not accessing the hard disk or the
optional external diskette drive.
Your computer normally loads the operating system from the
hard disk. If you have a hard disk problem, you will not be
able to start the computer. Insert a system diskette into the
optional external diskette drive and press the left or right
arrow key to choose it as your boot-up device.
The computer displays the WARNING RESUME FAILURE
message.
The computer was placed in Stand By mode and the battery
has discharged. Data stored in the computer’s memory has
been lost.
To charge the battery, leave the computer plugged into a live
wall outlet for several hours. For more information, see
“Power and the batteries” on page 159.
The computer displays the Non-System disk or disk error
message.
Make sure there is no diskette in the optional external
diskette drive. If there is one, remove it and press any key to
continue. If pressing any key does not work, press
Ctrl, Alt, and
Del to restart the computer.
