in-One directly into a power outlet. 
• Test the power outlet to make sure it is working. Plug in an appliance that you know works, 
and see if the appliance has power. If not, then there might be a problem with the power outlet. 
• If you plugged the HP All-in-One into a switched outlet, make sure the switch is on. If it is switched to on but still does not work, then t here might be a problem with the power outlet.

the  On button once. It might take a few seconds for the HP All-in-One to turn on. If you press
