the port replicator and a live electrical power outlet.
Check the condition of the power cord and plug prongs. If the cord is
frayed or damaged or the plug prongs are bent, replace the cord. If the
plug prongs are soiled, wipe them with a clean cloth.
Disconnect and reconnect the AC adaptor and try again to turn on the
computer.
Check to make sure the computer is properly connected to the port
replicator. When docking, push down on the back of the computer until it
clicks into place. If necessary, disconnect the computer and re-dock it.
