NOTE: When using the TouchPad, keep it - and your fingers - dry and clean. The TouchPad is sensitive to finger movement; hence, the lighter the touch, the better the response. Tapping too hard will not increase the TouchPad’s responsiveness.

Chapter 1

Using the Keyboard

Your Packard Bell dot Series has a close-to-full-sized keyboard and an embedded numeric keypad, separate cursor, lock, function and special keys.

Lock Keys and embedded numeric keypad

The keyboard has three lock keys which you can toggle on and off.

Lock key

Caps Lock

Num Lock

<Fn> + <F11>

Scroll Lock <Fn> +

<F12>

Description

When Caps Lock is on, all alphabetic characters typed are in uppercase.

When Num Lock is on, the embedded keypad is in numeric mode. The keys function as a calculator (complete with the arithmetic operators +, -, *, and /). Use this mode when you need to do a lot of numeric data entry. A better solution would be to connect an external keypad.

When Scroll Lock is on, the screen moves one line up or down when you press the up or down arrow keys respectively. Scroll Lock does not work with some applications.

The embedded numeric keypad functions like a desktop numeric keypad. It is indicated by small characters located on the upper right corner of the keycaps. To simplify the keyboard legend, cursor-control key symbols are not printed on the keys.

* If the BIOS detects error 2C, 2E, or 30 (base 512K RAM error), it displays an additional word-bitmap (xxxx) indicating the address line or bits that failed. For example, "2C 0002" means address line 1 (bit one set) has failed. "2E 1020" means data bits 12 and 5 (bits 12 and 5 set) have failed in the lower 16 bits. Note that error

30 cannot occur on 386SX systems because they have a 16 rather than 32-bit bus. The BIOS also sends the bitmap to the port-80 LED display. It first displays the check point code, followed by a delay, the high-order byte, another delay, and then the low-order byte of the error. It repeats this sequence continuously.

Hotkey for enabling BIOS Recovery.

Motherboard CMOS Discharge

Discharging the CMOS clears all user settings.

1.

Decompose the notebook and take out the Mainboard

2.

Locate the RTC Battery and Jumpers.

3.

Disconnect the RTC battery

141

4.

Peel back the Wireles LAN Card mylar and short the G2 pad.

5.

Reconnect the RTC battery and reassemble the unit.

BIOS Recovery by Crisis Disk

BIOS Recovery Boot Block:

BIOS Recovery Boot Block is a special block of BIOS. It is used to boot up the system with minimum BIOS initialization. Users can enable this feature to restore the BIOS firmware to a successful one once the previous

BIOS flashing process failed.

BIOS Recovery Hotkey:

The system provides a function hotkey: Fn+Esc, for enable BIOS Recovery process when system is powered on during BIOS POST. To use this function, it is strongly recommended to have the AC adapter and Battery present. If this function is enabled, the system will force the BIOS to enter a special BIOS block, called Boot

Block.

Steps for BIOS Recovery by USB Flash Crisis Disk:

Before doing this, a Crisis Diskette should be prepared ready in hand. The Crisis Diskette could be made by executing the Crisis Disk program in another system with Windows XP OS.

Follow the steps below:

1.

Plug in a blank USB disk.

2.

Launch the wincrisis.exe program to create a USB Crisis Disk.

3.

Select Create MINIDOS Crisis Disk.

4.

Click Start to initiate the process.

5.

Click OK to override the warning dialog.

IMPORTANT:The Crisis Disk program will overwrite all data on any drive that you use as a crisis disk.

6.

Copy the KAV60.fd BIOS file into USB flash disk root directory.

NOTE:

Do not place any other *.fd file in the USB flash disk root directory.

Chapter 5

To use the Crisis USB key, do the following:

1.

Plug USB storage into USB port.

2.

Press Fn + ESC button then plug in AC power.

The Power button flashes orange once.

3.

Press Power button to initiate system CRISIS mode.

When CRISIS is complete, the system auto restarts with a workable BIOS.

4.

Update the latest version BIOS for this machine by regular BIOS flashing process.
