Key lock is locked out

Explanation: The system is detecting that the key lock on the front of the case is locked, and therefore will not boot.

Diagnosis: The key lock may be indeed locked out. The key lock may also be miswired, or there could be a fault with the motherboard.

Recommendation:

• Unlock the key lock, if it is locked.
• Investigate possible problem with the key lock switch, if it is either unlocked already or not present on your system case.
• Troubleshoot the motherboard.
