TroubleshootingOverview 8 - 18Chapter 8: TroubleshootingOverviewShould you have any problems with your computer, before consulting your service representative, you may wantto try to solve the problem yourself. This chapter lists some common problems and their possible solutions. Thiscan’t anticipate every problem, but you should check here before you panic. If you don’t find the answer in thesepages, make sure you have followed the instructions carefully and observed the safety precautions in the preface.If all else fails, talk to your service representative. You should also make a record of what happened and whatremedies you tried.Of course, if something goes wrong, it will happen at the most inconvenient time possible, so you should previewthis section just in case. If, after you’ve tried everything, and the system still won’t cooperate, try turning it offfor a few minutes and then rebooting. You will lose any unsaved data, but it may start working again. Then callyour service representative.

Troubleshooting8 - 2 Basic Hints and Tips8Basic Hints and TipsMany of the following may seem obvious but they are often the solution to a problem when your computer ap-pears not to be working. •Power - Is the computer actually plugged into a working electrical outlet? If plugged into a power strip, make sure it is actually working. Check the LED Power & Communication Indicators (see “LED Indica-tors” on page 1 - 7) to see the computer’s power status.•Connections - Check all the cables to make sure that there are no loose connections anywhere.•Power Savings - Make sure that the system is not in Hibernate or Sleep mode by pressing the keys config-ured in your Power Options (see “Power-Saving States” on page 3 - 6), the Fn + F4 key combination, or power button to wake-up the system.•Brightness - Check the brightness of the screen by pressing the Fn + F8 and F9 keys to adjust the bright-ness.•Display Choice - Press Fn + F7 to make sure the system is not set to “external only” display.•Boot Drive - Make sure there are no optical media and/or USB storage devices in any connected drive (this is a common cause of the message “Invalid system disk - Replace the disk, and then press any key” / “Remove disks or other media. Press any key to restart”).

TroubleshootingBackup and General Maintenance 8 - 38Backup and General Maintenance•Always backup your important data, and keep copies of your OS and programs safe, but close to hand. Don’t forget to note the serial numbers if you are storing them out of their original cases, e.g. in a CD wal-let.• Run maintenance programs on your hard disk and OS as often as you can. You may schedule these pro-grams to run at times when you are not using your computer. You can use those that are provided free with your OS, or buy the more powerful dedicated programs to do so.• Write down your passwords and keep them safe (away from your computer). This is especially important if you choose to use a Supervisor password for the BIOS (see “The Power-On Self Test (POST)” on page 5 - 2).• Keep copies of vital settings files such as network, dialup settings, mail settings etc.(even if just brief notes).WarrantyThe CPU is not a user serviceable part. Opening this compartment, or accessing the CPU in any way, may violate your war-ranty.

Troubleshooting8 - 4 Viruses8Viruses• Install an Anti-Virus program and keep the definitions file (the file which tells your program which viruses to look for) up to date. New computer viruses are discovered daily, and some of them may seriously harm your computer and cause you to lose data. Anti-Virus programs are commercially available and the defini-tions file updates are usually downloadable directly from the internet.• Be careful when opening e-mail from sources you don’t know. Viruses are often triggered from within e-mail attachments so take care when opening any attached file. You can configure most Anti-Virus pro-grams to check all e-mail attachments. Note: You should also beware of files from people you know as the virus may have infected an address book and been automatically forwarded without the person’s knowl-edge.• Keep a “Bootable CD-ROM/DVD-ROM/USB storage device” (this CD/DVD/USB device provides basic information which allows you to startup your computer) handy. You may refer to your OS’s documentation for instructions on how to make one, and many Anti-Virus programs will also provide such a disk (or at least instructions on how to make one).

TroubleshootingUpgrading and Adding New Hardware/Software 8 - 58Upgrading and Adding New Hardware/Software• Do not be tempted to make changes to your Windows Registry unless you are very sure of what you are doing, otherwise you will risk severely damaging your system.• Don’t open your computer or undertake any repair or upgrade work if you are not comfortable with what you are doing.• Read the documentation. We can assume, since you are reading this that you are looking at the computer’s manual, but what about any new peripheral devices you have just purchased? Many problems are caused by the installation of new hardware and/or software. Always refer to the documentation of any new hardware and/or software, and pay particular attention to files entitled “READ ME” or “READ ME FIRST”.• When installing a new device always make sure the device is powered on, and in many cases you will need to restart the computer. Always check that all the cables are correctly connected.• Make sure you have installed the drivers for any new hardware you have installed (latest driver files are usually available to download from vendor’s websites).

Troubleshooting8 - 6 Upgrading and Adding New Hardware/Software8• Thoroughly check any recent changes you made to your system as these changes may affect one or more system components, or software programs. If possible, go back and undo the change you just made and see if the problem still occurs.• Don’t over complicate things. The less you have to deal with then the easier the source of the problem may be found; Example - if your computer has many devices plugged into its ports, and a number of programs running, then it will be difficult to determine the cause of a problem. Try disconnecting all of the devices and restarting the computer with all the peripheral devices unplugged. A process of elimination (adding and removing devices and restarting where necessary) will often find the source of a problem, although this may be time consuming.

TroubleshootingProblems and Possible Solutions 8 - 78Problems and Possible SolutionsProblem Possible Cause - SolutionYou turned on the powerbut it doesn’t work.Battery missing / incorrectly installed. Check the battery bay, make sure the battery is presentand seated properly (the design of the battery only allows it to go in one way). Make sure there’snothing interfering with the battery contacts.The battery LED powerindicator , is blinkingorange.Low Battery. Plug in the DC power source. If the computer doesn’t start up immediately, turn it offthen on again.You are losing batterypower too quickly.The system is using too much power. If your OS has a Power Options scheme (see “PowerPlans” on page 3 - 4/“Power Schemes” on page D - 18) check its settings. You may also beusing an ExpressCard/USB device/external device that is drawing a lot of power.Actual battery operatingtime is shorter thanexpected.The battery has not been fully discharged before being recharged. Make sure the battery is fullydischarged and recharge it completely before reusing (see “Battery Information” on page 3 -10/“Battery Information” on page D - 23).Power Options have been disabled. Go to the Control Panel in Windows and re-enable theoptions.A peripheral device/USB device/ExpressCard is consuming a lot of power. Turn off/remove theunused device to save power.

Troubleshooting8 - 8 Problems and Possible Solutions8The computer feels toohot.Make sure the computer is properly ventilated and the Vent/Fan intakes are not blocked. If thisdoesn’t cool it down, put the system into Hibernate mode or turn it off for an hour. Make sure thecomputer isn’t sitting on a thermal surface (see “Overheating” on page 1 - 14). Make sureyou’re using the correct adapter. Make sure that your notebook is completely powered off before putting it into a travel bag (or anysuch container).

Windows XP InformationPower Management Features D - 15DPower Management FeaturesTo conserve power, especially when using the battery, your computer uses the ACPIpower management system. Power management conserves power by controlling in-dividual components of the computer (the monitor and hard disk drive) or the wholesystem.The Power Options control panel icon in Windows (see page D - 3) allows you toconfigure power management features for your computer. You may conserve powerthrough individual components such as the monitor or hard disk, or you may use ei-ther Stand by or Hibernate mode to conserve power throughout the system.Advanced Configuration and Power InterfaceThe ACPI interface provides the computer with enhanced power saving techniquesand gives the operating system (OS) direct control over the power and thermal statesof devices and processors. For example, it enables the OS to set devices into low-power states based on user settings and information from applications. ACPI is fullysupported in Windows XP.OS NotePower managementfunctions will varyslightly depending onyour operating system.For more information itis best to refer to theuser’s manual of youroperating system. (Note: All picturesused on the followingpages are from theWindows XP OS.)

Windows XP InformationD - 16 The Power SourcesDThe Power SourcesThe computer can be powered by either an AC/DC adapter or a battery pack.AC/DC AdapterUse only the AC/DC adapter that comes with your computer. The wrong type of AC/DC adapter will damagethe computer and its components.1. Attach the AC/DC adapter to the DC-in jack at the rear of the computer.2. Plug the AC power cord into an outlet, and then connect the AC power cord to the AC/DC adapter.3. Raise the lid/LCD to a comfortable viewing angle.4. Press the power button to turn “On”.BatteryThe battery allows you to use your computer while you are on the road or when an electrical outlet is unavailable.Battery life varies depending on the applications and the configuration you're using. To increase battery life,let the battery discharge completely before recharging (see “How do I completely discharge the battery?”on page D - 26).We recommend that you do not remove the battery. For more information on the battery, please refer to “BatteryInformation” on page D - 23.

Windows XP InformationTurning on the Computer D - 17DTurning on the ComputerNow you are ready to begin using your computer. To turn it on simply press the pow-er button on the front panel.When the computer is on, you can use the power button as a Stand by/Hibernate/Shutdown hot-key button when it is pressed for less than 4 seconds (pressing andholding the power button for longer than this will shut the computer down). UsePower Options in the Windows control panel to configure this feature.ShutdownNote that you should al-ways shut your comput-er down by choosing theTurn Off Computercommand from the Startmenu in Windows. Thiswill help prevent harddisk or system prob-lems.Forced OffIf the system “hangs”, and the Ctrl + Alt + Del key combination doesn’t work, press the pow-er button for 4 seconds, or longer, to force the system to turn itself off.Power Button as Stand by or Hibernate ButtonIf you are using a fully ACPI-compliant OS, (such as Windows XP) you can use the OS’s“Power Options” control panel to set the power button to send the system into Stand by orHibernate mode (see your OS’s documentation, or “Configuring the Power Button” onpage D - 22 for details).

Windows XP InformationD - 18 Power SchemesDPower SchemesYou can set your computer to conserve power through individual components bymeans of Power Schemes. You can also adjust the settings for each scheme to setthe monitor to turn off after a specified time, and the computer's hard disk motor toturn off if the hard disk drive has not been accessed for a specified period of time (ifthe system reads or writes data, the hard disk motor will be turned back on). Theschemes may also be set to set a specified time for the system to enter Stand by orHibernate modes (see “System Power Options” on page D - 20).Resuming OperationPress a key on the key-board, or move themouse/TouchPad to re-sume from Monitor orHard Disk Stand by.Figure D - 12Power Schemes

Windows XP InformationPower Schemes D - 19DEach Windows Power Scheme will also adjust the processor performance of your machine in order to save pow-er. This is worth bearing in mind if you are experiencing any reduced performance (especially under DC/batterypower).Choose the Home/Office Desk scheme for maximum performance when the computer is powered from an ACpower source. Choose the Max Battery scheme (bear in mind that this scheme may slow down the overall per-formance of the computer in order to save power) for maximum power saving when the computer is battery (DCpower) powered. Windows will use Portable/Laptop as the default scheme.

Windows XP InformationD - 20 System Power OptionsDSystem Power OptionsYou can use the system power options to stop the computer’s operation and restartwhere you left off. This system features Stand by and Hibernate sleep mode levels(Hibernate mode will need to be enabled by clicking the option in the Hibernate tabin the Power Options control panel - see “Hibernate” on page D - 21).Hibernate Mode vs. ShutdownHibernate mode and Shutdown are the same in that the system is off and you need topress the power button to turn it on. Their main difference is:When you come back from hibernation, you can return to where you last left off(what was on your desktop) without reopening the application(s) and file(s) you lastused.You can use either method depending on your needs. Stand by Mode vs. Hibernate ModeIf you want to stay away from your work for just a while, you can put the system onStand by instead of in hibernation. It takes a longer time to wake up the system fromHibernate mode than from Stand by mode.Stand by/Hibernate or Shutdown ErrorThe computer may stopresponding when youput it into (or resumefrom) Stand By or Hiber-nate, or when you shutdown.This error is caused bypower managementwithin Windows XP,when applied to a PCCamera attached to theinternal USB hub.Microsoft has posted aHotfix for this error on itswebsite (search for Hot-fix KB909667). Download and install theHotfix to correct this er-ror.

Windows XP InformationSystem Power Options D - 21DStand byStand by saves the least amount of power, but takes the shortest time to return to fulloperation. During Stand by the hard disk is turned off, and the CPU is made to idleat its slowest speed. All open applications are retained in memory.
