Troubleshooting

You should not encounter any serious difficulties as you set up and

use your Equity III. But if anything out of the ordinary happens, refer to

this Chapter. Usually, such a situation requires nothing more than adjust-

ing a cable connection, repeating a software procedure, or resetting the

computer.

You can use the suggestions here to solve most problems you may

encounter. If the recommended solution does not work, consult an

Epson dealer about servicing the computer.

WARNING: If you need to turn off the computer for any reason, always

wait at least 5 seconds before you turn it back on. You can

damage the Equity III if you turn it off and on rapidly.

The Computer Fails To Start Up

If the computer does not start up when you turn on the power

switch, follow these steps to find a solution:

Check to see if the red power LED lamp on the front panel is lit. If it is

not, remove any diskettes and then turn off the power. Wait 5 sec-

onds, then turn the power back on.

If the power lamp still does not light up, turn off the power switch.

Check to see that the power cable is securely connected to both the

AC inlet on the back panel and the electrical outlet. Then turn the

power back on.

If the computer still does not start up, check the electrical outlet. Plug

a portable lamp into the outlet you are using for the computer and

turn it on to see if the outlet supplies power.
