Frequently-asked questions

The following is a list of possible situations that may arise during the

use of your computer. Easy answers and solutions are provided for

each one.

I pressed the power button and opened the display, but the

computer does not start or boot-up.

Look at the Power indicator:

• If it is not lit, no power is being applied to the computer. Check the

following:

• If you are running on battery power, it may be low and unable

to power the computer. Connect the AC adapter to recharge

the battery pack.

• Make sure that the AC adapter is plugged in properly to the

computer and to the power outlet.

• If it is lit, check the following:

• Is a non-bootable (non-system) diskette in the external USB

floppy drive? Remove or replace it with a system diskette and

press Ctrl-Alt-Del to restart the system.

Nothing appears on the screen.

The computer’s power management system automatically blanks the

screen to save power. Press any key to turn the display back on.

If pressing a key does not turn the display back on, two things might

be the cause:

• The brightness level might be too low. Press Fn-

→ (increase) to

adjust the brightness level.

• The display device might be set to an external monitor. Press the

display toggle hot key Fn-F5 to toggle the display back to the

computer.

• If the Sleep indicator is lit, the computer is in Sleep mode. Press

and release the power button to resume.
