When I Turn On My Computer Nothing Happens - What Now?

  1. Wait a moment.  Try your power button again, pressing firmly on the button.
  2. Check the power cable coming into the back of the PC from the outlet or power strip.  Make certain the cable is firmly seated.  Retry the power button.
  3. Check other devices that may be plugged into the power strip or wall outlet to see if they have power.  If so, try swapping the power cable plug for the PC into another outlet you know is working.  Try the Power button again.
  4. Possible failure of the PC Power Supply, Main board, or other component. Please contact IT&C Inc. For Repair Services.

My Computer Comes on But There is Nothing on the Screen - What Now?

  1. Make certain the monitor is turned on, and that the cable running between the PC and the monitor is firmly seated. If there is a separate power cord, check that it is firmly connected to a live power source as well.
  2. Check to see if the monitor (screen) has either a green or amber/orange light on it. If so is that light solid or blinking.
  3. If you have checked this, contact IT&C Inc.  Repair Services May be Necessary.

My Computer Freezes up and My Mouse Becomes Non-Responsive - What Now?

  1. In many application programs, the Escape (or Esc) key is a general-purpose "get me out of here" key-used to cancel or back up a step in the current operation.
  2. If the Escape key doesn't solve your problem, you can try the Break key. On most keyboards, either the Scroll Lock or Pause key doubles as a Break key. (You should see the word Break either on top of the key or on its front edge. If you don't find Break on either key, you can use Scroll Lock for this purpose.) By itself, Break does nothing, but holding down a Ctrl key and pressing this key will interrupt some programs or commands. This key combination is referred to as Ctrl+Break (pronounced "Control Break").
  3. If neither of the preceding techniques works, you can reboot your computer by holding down the Ctrl and Alt keys and then tapping the Del key. Rebooting erases memory and reloads the operating system; you lose any data currently in memory. In some programs, you may damage data as well, so only use this key combination when you can't think of any other solution. Although fairly drastic, rebooting is still a bit safer than the next two options.
  4. Many PCs have a Reset button that lets you restart your computer without actually flicking the power switch. The main power to the computer's components is not interrupted. This saves wear and tear. (Some, but not all, Reset buttons are actually labeled Reset. If you can't find yours, check in the documentation for your computer.)
  5. If resetting your computer results in error, please contact IT&C Inc.  Repair Services May be Necessary.

When I turn on My Computer there is a Clicking and / or Grinding - What Now?

  1. Hard disk drives make a certain amount of noise when programs are trying to get information or read data from the drive. So you might expect to hear a faint, grinding noise when the computer is reading data from the hard drive. However, the noise should not be too loud. An unusually loud noise signals that there might be something wrong with your hard drive, and you should call IT&C Inc. immediately.

I am Having Trouble Printing - What Now?

  1. Be sure the printer is turned on.
  2. Check to see if the ink cartridges are full.
  3. Check to see if the printer cable is fully plugged into the back of the computer and the printer
  4. Click Start / Settings and go to Printers to see if the printer icon is black or is it grayed out?
  5. Is there paper in the printer?
  6. Install new print cartridges if you have them available to you.
  7. If you are trying to print to a network printer, be sure you are plugged into the network.
  8. Be sure there is not any paper jammed in the printer.
  9. Install new print cartridges if you have them available to you.
  10. Please Contact IT&C Inc. Repair services may be necessary.

When I turn on my computer there is an error message on a black screen - What Now?

  1. Verify that there is no removable media in any of the disk drives including the floppy drive.  If there is please remove it and restart your computer.
  2. If the error returns and is in regard to missing or corrupt files, please contact IT&C Inc. Repair services may be necessary.
