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.

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
