Checking Connections
Loose or improperly connected cables are likely sources of problems for your computer,
external monitor, or other peripherals (such as a printer, external keyboard, or mouse). A quick
check of all cable connections can easily solve these problems. If a connector has two small
screws, make sure the screws are tight. In addition, check for damaged or frayed cables.
Be sure the following items are properly connected or installed:
● The AC adapter and power cable

● The battery

● All cables to external devices
