CPU will not power on:

  1. Check to make sure the power and video cables are securely attached to the back of the computer.
  2. Trace the power cable back from the computer to the power outlet and make sure it is plugged in to a power source. If it is plugged into a power strip or surge protector, make sure they are switched on.
  3. Make sure the monitor is powered on.
  4. Try unplugging the power cable and plug it back in.
  5. If it is still not powering up, write it down in the blue book.
