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 adaptor to recharge the battery pack.
- Make sure that the AC adaptor is properly plugged into the computer and to the power outlet.
If it is lit, check the following:
- Is a non-bootable (non-system) disk in the external USB floppy drive?
- Remove or replace it with a system disk 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 hot key <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.
