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 switch and opened the display, but the computer does not start or boot-up.

Look at the Power indicator (refer to “Indicators” on page 18):

• 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 floppy drive?

Remove or replace it with a system diskette and press Ctrl-Alt-

Del to restart the system.

• The operating system files may be damaged or missing. Insert the startup disk you created during Windows setup into the floppy drive and press Ctrl-Alt-Del to restart the system. This will diagnose your system and make necessary fixes.

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, three things might be the cause:

• The brightness level might be too low. Press Fn→ (increase) and

Fn← (decrease) 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, slide, and release the power switch to resume.

Check the following:

• The volume may be muted. In Windows, look at the volume control (speaker) icon on the taskbar. If it is crossed-out, click on the icon and deselect the Mute option.

• The speakers may be turned off. Press Fn-F8 to turn the speakers on (this hot key also turns the speakers off).

• The volume level may be too low. In Windows, look at the volume control icon on the taskbar. You can also use the volume control buttons to adjust the volume. See “Hot keys” on page 21.

• If headphones, earphones or external speakers are connected to the line-out port on the computer’s right panel, the internal speakers automatically turn off.

The keyboard does not respond.

Try attaching an external keyboard to the USB connector on the computer’s rear. If it works, contact your dealer or an authorized service center as the internal keyboard cable may be loose.

The infrared port does not work.

Check the following:

• Make sure that the infrared ports of the two devices are facing each other (+/- 15 degrees) a maximum of 1 meter apart.

• Make sure that there is a clear path between the two infrared ports. Nothing should be blocking the ports.

• Make sure that you have the appropriate software running on both devices (for file transfers) or that you have the appropriate drivers (for printing to an infrared printer).

• During the POST, press F2 to access the BIOS Utility and verify that

TMC110-en.book Page 57 Monday, March 3, 2003 4:46 PM

57 the infrared port is enabled.

• Make sure that both devices are IrDA-compliant.
