Troubleshoot

  1. Make sure that the computer is switched on
  2. If there is a power problem, do a Power Check
  3. Check all cables, make sure that they are all firmly connected
  4. Reboot. Reboot solves a lot of problem, like after installing a device
  5. When the problem persists, consult an expert
  6. Check the power if it is damaged, if its, do NOT try to fix it yourself using your duct tape, duct tape solves a lot of problems, but not this time.
  7. Test your equipment and outlet
