Wireless LAN connection is disconnected after 2~3 minutes, and the connection is not recovered.
Solution: The reason may be caused by channel interference, change the channel of the AP and reconnect.
The computer is unable to connect to the Internet.
Solution: Account for Internet service provider (ISP) is not properly configured. Ask for your
ISP assistance.
The Wireless LAN is connected, but I can not connect to or to another computer.
Solution:
Check the device driver is properly installed. Check that the device driver is properly installed. If the driver is not properly installed, you will find a yellow
exclamation mark on the network icon by licking Start > Control Panel >
System > Device Manager > Network Adapters. If there is a yellow exclamation mark, please reinstall the device driver with the system software
Media.
The signal strength is excellent but cannot connect to the network.
Solution: Check the TCP/IP properties are configured properly. When you connect to an AP, click the Wireless Network Connection icon on the taskbar and select the Support tab.
Contacting Your Dealer
If you still have a problem after reading the preceding section, the next step is to contact your dealer.
Your dealer can determine if the problem is something that requires the computer to be taken to the shop. Before you call your dealer, however, please have the following information available:
Solution:
How is your computer configured? Your dealer needs to know what peripheral devices you are using. What messages, if any, are on the screen? What software were you running at the time? What have you done already to try to solve the problem? If you have overlooked a step, your dealer may be able to solve the problem over the phone.
What steps should be taken when water accidentally get inside the UMPC
Solution:
At this time be sure not to power on the UMPC or else it will cause more serious damage to the computer Unplug the adapter and take out the battery. Disconnect as well if there are any external devices connected (like CD-ROM or flash drive) Pour out the water that got inside the computer and use a soft cloth to remove the stain to avoid any more damage
X Use the fan to dry the whole system and any peripheral then send it to the closest service center for experienced personnel to diagnose and repair. This will reduce the damage to the system
X As a special reminder, be sure not to put the computer inside the carry bag that has stain in sending the computer for repair
The UMPC could not resume after it enter the Standby mode
Solution:
Standby Mode – allows the computer or program save into the RAM. The system will enter the saving mode. Press any key to resume the system Hibernate
Mode – allows the computer or program save into the HDD. At this time the power is completely turn off. Press any key to resume the system
The system can’t resume operation
Solution:
X Malfunction of external memory or internal memory – an error will occur during saving into the system memory, it will not execute normal operation
X External peripheral connected to the system not compatible – such as external USB devices, compact flash, MMC, Smart Media are complicated devices will easily cause the computer to enter standby mode thus unable to resume operation
X Un-suitable program or driver – any un-suitable driver could cause any extension file like .dll, .sys and .exe would not allow the system to enter standby or hibernate mode
X Operating System loses effect – the power saving mode of Microsoft operating system adopt ACPI mode (advanced Configuration and Power Interface), the power scheme will be handle by the OS thus affecting the power saving mode of the system
Display problem
Problem: Display LED too bright or too dark
Solution: Adjust the LED brightness, press the hotkey combination by brightness up or brightness down Problem: The whole image does not display on the screen Solution: This symptom will occur if you are executing any program or playing games design to run only on 800x600 resolution. Adjust the display to a higher resolution.
Problem: Can not execute any function
Solution:
X This only happens when the system is in hold status. Slide the power/hold switch to power on, this time the charge LED indicator will lit thus allowing you to restart your computer
X If you are operating the computer using the battery, examine the battery charge status
Problem: The power switch is not operating Solution: This only happens when the system is in hold status. Slide the power/hold switch to power on, this time the charge LED indicator will lit thus allowing you to restart your computer
