This is our Frequently Asked
Questions area. In here, you will find the most common
questions that we get asked, as well as the answers to them.
Q: My computer doesn't turn on,
what is wrong?
A: Make sure that the power cable is securely attached to
an outlet or surge protector as well as the back of the
computer. If you have the power cable attached to a surge
protector, make sure that the switch is flipped to the 'on'
position. If there is still no activity, try using the monitor
cable for the PC. They are the same type of cable so you don't
have to worry about mixing them up. Still no activity? Some
computers have a wattage setting switch on the back of the
computer. These are located near the plug where you put the
power cable in. If your computer has this switch, toggle it to
the other position. If you get no response with this, change it
back to its original state.
Q: My computer turns on, but
why isn't there anything appearing on the monitor.
A: Most of the time when we come across this problem, it
means that the data cable between the PC and the monitor isn't
plugged in all of the way. This can happen even if the plug is
slanted to the side just a little bit. If you have checked, and
double check this connection, try hooking the monitor up to a
different PC, or the PC up to a different monitor.
Q: When my computer turns on
it says there is a keyboard error, but the keyboard and mouse is
plugged in, why does it do this?
A: This seems to be the
most annoying message in the history of computers: No
keyboard attached: press F1 to continue. If there is no
keyboard attached, how are you supposed to press F1? Many times
when you are given this error, you simply have to switch around
the connections for the keyboard and mouse. Whenever touching
the keyboard and mouse connections, make sure that the computer
is powered off. When the computer is on, you run the risk of
blowing the keyboard and mouse ports.
