• Is the WiFi symbol orange (this is on the strip above your keyboard)? If YES, touch it to turn it green. If NO, restart your computer.
• If the WiFi symbol is green and restarting did not connect you to the internet, does it work when plugged into an Ethernet cord (usually a blue cord) directly to the wall?

• If there are no lights on the machine when you turn it on, plug the machine into the wall - wait 5 minutes - turn the laptop on again (the battery may have been low or can no longer be charged)

Desktop

• Try restarting the machine.
• Is there a light on the power button of the monitor? If not, check that the power button is plugged into the wall and the connection on the monitor is not loose.
• There is a light on the power button of the monitor but it is still dark? Wiggle the mouse, it might be asleep.
