Your computer will not boot!

First things first, is the computer plugged in?� The power cord for the computer should have a three prong plug at one end of the cord. � At the other end of the cord you should see, what looks like a three prong outlet. Basically one end of the cord will have three metal tabs (one circular and two flat) at it�s outer most point while the other end has nothing but three holes.

Throughout the remainder of this document I will refer to the above mentioned cord as the power cord.� If the power cord is connected to an outlet at one end and your computer the other you should be able to boot your computer. �If this is not the case perform the following: unplug the power cord from the wall and try another outlet.� If the computer still will not boot unplug he power cord from the wall. Remove the other end of the power cord from the computer. � Try replacing the power cord � if possible (ask to borrow a friend or co-workers � I wouldn�t recommend buying one as this solution is rarely the case.)� If after replacing the power cord you still cannot boot, try another outlet. � If you still cannot boot I would recommend that you speak with a qualified professional.
