Things you must remember before working on your computer Let your computer acclimate itself Your notebook can easily stand temperature extremes but it doesn’t like rapid changes in temperature, like going from the cold outdoors to a warm office. Rapid changes in temperature can cause water droplets to condense inside your case, threatening to damage the electronic parts inside. After receiving your notebook when it’s hot or cold outside, try not to power up the computer immediately, let the computer adjust to the room temperature gradually at least for three to four hours. If your system arrives in cold weather, do not apply power to the computer or monitor until they have been allowed to come to room temperature. Heat, Cold, Humidity, and Glare Find a suitable place for your computer that’s not too hot, too cold, too dark, or too bright. Glare can make it hard to read the screen. Ø Ø Ø Try to avoid the computer components from being destroyed if it is over heated, so try to allow plenty of room for air to circulate around the case. Do not block the ventilation opening. Do not place your computer in direct sunlight. Suitable place to work Your computer will run well wherever you’re comfortable but extremes of temperature and humidity can be challenging to your system’s parts. There are some things you can tolerate that the computer can’t – things like static electricity, dust, water, steam and oil. In case you decide to pull over for roadside computing, try to choose a clean, comfortable work area for your system. A lithium-ion battery pack will be available when you are traveling. If you are running your system for the first time on battery power, remove the battery from the package, install it into the system and recharge the battery to fully prepare for service.

The power cord for the AC adapter requires a three-hole grounded AC outlet. Please do not remove the 3rd pin of the three pin plug of your power cord to avoid error when running some application. The adapter’s AC input voltage can range anywhere from 100 to 240 volts, covering the standard voltages available in almost every country. To connect the computer to an external power source: 1. Plug the AC adapter’s connector into the DC-IN connector on the computer. 2. Connect the power cord to the AC adapter and then to a wall outlet. 19 The best kind of AC power source to connect your Notebook to is a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply). Lacking this, use a power strip with a builtin surge protector. Do not use inferior extension cords as this may result in damage to your Notebook. The Notebook comes with its own AC adapter. Do not use a different adapter to power the computer and other electrical devices. Whenever possible, keep the AC adapter plugged into the Notebook and an electrical outlet to recharge the battery. Never turn off or reset your Notebook while the hard disk is in use and the HDD status icon is lit; doing so can result in loss or destruction of your data. Always wait at least 5 seconds after turning off your Notebook before turning it back on; turning the power on and off in rapid succession can damage the Notebook’s electrical circuitry. Turning On Your Notebook Computer Turn on your Notebook by pressing the power button. Hold the button down for a second or two and release. The Power-On Self Test (POST) runs automatically. After the POST is completed, the computer reads the operating system from the hard disk drive into computer memory (this is commonly referred to as “booting” a computer). If your OS (Operating System such as Windows XP… . etc) is installed, it should start automatically. To turn the Notebook off, save your work and close all open applications, click on Start, then Shut Down and select Shut down the computer and click "Yes" or press the power button for 4-6 seconds. Operating on Battery Power Your computer comes with a rechargeable battery pack that lets you operate the computer without an external power source. When the battery pack is fully charged, you can operate the computer for approximately 2 hours under the following conditions: Ø The battery pack initially has a full charge. Ø No peripheral devices are installed. Ø The disk/DVD-ROM drives run no more than 10% of the time. Only use batteries that are approved by an authorized dealer that is used on for this model only. All batteries are not the same and therefore should not be treated as such. Using the wrong battery could cause serious damage to your computer and yourself through toxic emissions. 20 Inserting and Removing the Battery Pack The battery pack should already be inserted in your Notebook computer when you unpack it. If not inserted, follow these directions: 1. Turn over the notebook with the front of the unit facing you and place it on a solid, flat surface. 2. Angle the battery into the bay. The front edge of the battery should slide into the grooves in the system case. 3. Gently lower the battery into the bay and push it until it clicks securely in the bay. To remove the battery pack: 1. Turn off the notebook, and disconnect the AC adapter. Close the LCD panel and turn it over and place it on a solid, flat surface. 2. Lift the release latch to release the battery from the bay. At this time the battery will now be angled slightly out of the bay. 21 3. Hold the battery at the finger grip and lift it out of the compartment. Charging the Battery Pack The installed battery pack charges automatically any time the computer is connected to the AC adapter and an external power source. If this is your first time to use the battery, be sure to fully discharge the battery and recharged until it is fully charged. For fast charging of the battery, we recommend you to first power off the system then start the charging operation under the following CPU type: 2.4G/FSB 533MHz/1M Cache and above 2.8G/FSB 800MHz/1M Cache and above 3.0G/FSB 800MHz/512K Cache and above 3.06G/FSB 533MHz/512K Cache and above 22 Using the Notebook Computer Adjusting the LCD Screen Display The LCD screen display can be adjusted by the following key combinations.

If the battery is completely without power go to the next step. 2. 3. 4. Otherwise, let the battery run down until the battery low-low warning beeps are heard. The system will automatically enter Suspend mode. Turn the Notebook off. Connect the AC adapter and let the battery fully recharge. When the battery charge indicator turns off, the battery is fully charged. Turn On the notebook, let the battery run down until the battery is in low-low state and you hear a warning beeps. The system will automatically enter the Suspend mode. You can now connect the AC adapter. The battery pack is now calibrated properly. In general, using the battery until the low-low battery-warning indicator appears and fully recharges the battery each time (full discharge/charge cycle) will ensure the accurate reporting of the battery gauge status. Automatic Battery Pack Charging Function You can automatically charge the battery pack by using the AC Adapter. The charge time is about four hours when the Notebook power is turned off. The following table summarizes the charging modes: Charge Mode Fast Charge Time 4 hours with the system off or in Suspend mode. The temperature must be 25°C or below room temperature. Pre-Charge A pre-charge is supplied to the Li-Ion battery pack. Battery Status Windows XP has an applet in the Control Panel that will display an icon in the Windows taskbar indicating when the Notebook is running on battery power or is attached to the AC adapter. 29 This applet also displays a meter that indicates how much charge is remaining in the battery. Battery Low Warning When the pack initially reaches the “Battery Low” state approximately 10 ~ 15 minutes of the usable battery life is left. You will hear an audible beep signal every 5 seconds alerting you to the “Battery Low” status. When the battery power reaches the “Battery Low Low” status the beeping sound will accelerate. Your battery now has 1 ~ 2 minutes of battery charge remaining. You must save your data or connect AC power immediately; otherwise, you may lose your data. Sound Continuous beeping every 5 seconds Meaning Battery Low: Indicates that there is 7 to 10 minutes charge remaining. Continuous beeping sound every 1 second Battery Low Low: Indicates that there is 1 to 2 minutes of battery charge remaining. Save your work and turn off the Notebook, or connect the AC adapter. When there is only one minute of battery charge remaining, the Notebook will suspend to the HDD and power off. You should connect AC power and resume to save your work. Small Battery for the Real Time Clock There is a small built-in battery pack that supplies power to the system in order to maintain certain system information while the power is off. If the Notebook is left without a power source for long period of time, this battery will be exhausted and system information will be lost. Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions. Never remove the battery pack while the power is on as this may result in data loss when the system loses power.

The information in this chapter is designed to help you find and solve minor problems. If you try all the suggested solutions and you still have a problem, make a list of what steps you have taken to correct the problem and contact your dealer. Successful troubleshooting is the result of careful observation, deductive reasoning, and an organized approach to solving the problem. The problems that you will encounter can be divided into two basic categories: hardware problems and software problems. Hardware problems can be further divided into electrical and mechanical problems. You will know you have a hardware problem if the screen is dark, the computer cannot read the disk drives, or you get an error message during the Power-On Self Test (POST). Software errors can occur at several levels. The ROM BIOS and the operating system can give you a large number of error messages. On top of this, each application software package has its own set of error messages. It is important to determine whether the software error message you are getting is from the application or the operating system. Once you know this, you can look in the respective manual for a solution to the problem. 56 Checking Cables and Connections Start by performing a careful visual inspection of the exterior of the computer. If no LEDs are illuminated, make sure that your computer and its peripherals are getting power and communicating with each other properly. To check the power cables, and connections: 1. If you have been using battery power, connect the Notebook to an external power source and make sure that the battery has a charge. 2. If you are using the Notebook with the AC adapter, check the power outlet, the power cord, and any power switches that may affect your computer. Ø Check the wall outlet or power strip with an item that you know is functioning properly. A lamp or radio is Ø a convenient item for checking the power. You may also need to check the fuses and breakers in your electric box. Ø If the outlet is controlled by a wall switch, make sure that the switch is on. Ø If the outlet is controlled by a dimmer switch, use a different outlet. Ø If your computer is plugged into a power strip with an On/Off switch, make sure the switch is on. 3. With the computer’s power switched off, check all cable connections. If the computer is connected to any peripheral devices, look for loose or disconnected cables. Ø If the computer is too close to a wall, a cable connection may be loose or the cables may be crimped. Ø Do not substitute cables for different devices (other than the manufacturer recommended cables) even if they look exactly alike. The wiring inside the cable may be different. 4. When you are certain that you have power available and all connections are good, turn the computer on again. If the computer still does not start, you may have a hardware problem. The Power-On Self Test The Power-On Self Test (POST) runs every time you turn on or reset the Notebook. The POST checks memory, the main system board, the display, the keyboard, the disk drives, and other installed options. A few seconds after you turn on your computer, a copyright message appears on your display screen. A memory test message appears next; as the test continues, memory size increases until all installed memory is tested. Normally, the only test routine visible on the screen will be the memory test. 57 Two classifications of malfunctions can be detected during the POST: Ø Ø Error messages that indicate a failure with either the hardware, the software, or the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS). These critical malfunctions prevent the computer from operating at all or could cause incorrect and apparent results. An example of a critical error is microprocessor malfunction. Messages that furnish important information on the power-on and boot processes (such as memory status). These non-critical malfunctions are those that cause incorrect results that may not be readily apparent. An example of a non-critical error would be a memory chip failure. In general, if the POST detects a system board failure (a critical error), the computer halts and generates a series of beeps. If failure is detected in an area other than the system board (such as the display, keyboard, or an adapter card) an error message is displayed on the screen and testing is stopped. It is important to remember that the POST does not test all areas of the computer, only those that allow it to be operational enough to run diagnostic programs. If your system does not successfully complete the POST, but displays a blank screen, emits a series of beeps, or displays an error code, consult your dealer. General Hardware Problems A few common hardware problems and suggested solutions are presented in the table below: 58 Problem: The capacity of the battery is between 95 to 99% but can not fully charged. Solution: Please discharged to less than 95% of its capacity then recharge the battery. Problem: Failure in the installation of the Audio driver. Solution: Be sure to first remove the current audio device from your system. Please follow the instruction on the installation of audio driver. Problem: The display screen is dark Solution: Make sure that the computer is not in Suspend mode. Check the Brightness controls for the screen. If the controls are turned too far down, the screen will be dark. Problem: An incorrect date and time are displayed. Solution: Correct the date and time using the DOS DATE and TIME commands or the options in the Setup Utility. If the date and time become incorrect after a short time, your CMOS battery may be depleted. Contact your dealer to change the battery. Problem: The message: “Invalid system disk, Replace the disk, and then press any key” appears during boot. Solution: Check and make sure that you do not have a non-bootable floppy diskette inserted in your floppy drive. If your USB FDD is empty, you may not have an operating system installed on your drive. Contact technical support for assistance. Problem: You hear irregular beeps during operation of the Notebook and the system halts. Solution: The problem is beyond the scope of this manual. Contact technical support. Problem: An unidentified message is displayed. Solution: Reboot the computer and run the BIOS system setup. Confirm the Setup parameters. If the same message is displayed after booting up again, contact technical support for assistance. Problem: The system cannot access the DVD-ROM drive. Solution: Check that a CD is properly inserted in the drive. Make sure that you are using the correct program for that kind of CD. For example, the system cannot read a data CD using an audio program. Problem: You cannot operate the printer. Solution: Check the printer cable connection. Ensure that the printer power switch is turned on. Confirm that the printer is on-line. Problem: You can’t save data to disk. Solution: Ensure that the disk has been formatted. Consult your operating system manual for information on formatting floppy diskettes. Problem: The diskette is write-protected. Solution: Eject the diskette, remove the write protection, and try again. Problem: The diskette if full. 59 Solution: Try using another diskette or free up some space on the diskette. The disk drive is not operating. Contact your dealer for support. Problem: You cannot use the mouse. Solution: Check the cable connection. Check the mouse with another application to see if there is a software incompatibility problem. If possible, check the mouse with another computer to see if it works. If it doesn’t operate on a different system, the mouse might be broken. Contacting Your Dealer If you still have a problem after reading the preceding sections, 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, prepare the following information: Ø Ø Ø Ø 60 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. 61 How do I expand my Notebook Upgrading your Memory Refer to the following instructions and illustration for information on upgrading your notebook's memory. Ø Ø Turn off the computer and disconnect the AC adapter and all peripherals.
