This chapter lists some common problems and their possible solutions. This can’t anticipate every problem, but you should check here before you panic. If you don’t find the answer in these pages, 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 what remedies you tried. Of course, if something goes wrong, it will happen at the most inconvenient time possible, so you should preview this section just in case. If, after you’ve tried everything, and the system still won’t cooperate, try turning it off for a few minutes and then rebooting. You will lose any unsaved data, but it may start working again. Then call your service representative. Overview 8 - 1 Troubleshooting Basic Hints and Tips Many of the following may seem obvious but they are often the solution to a problem when your computer appears 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 Indicators” 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 configured 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 brightness. • 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”). 8 - 2 Basic Hints and Tips Troubleshooting Backup 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 wallet. • Run maintenance programs on your hard disk and OS as often as you can. You may schedule these programs 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). Warranty The CPU is not a user serviceable part. Opening this compartment, or accessing the CPU in any way, may violate your warranty. Backup and General Maintenance 8 - 3 Troubleshooting Viruses • 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 definitions 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 email attachments so take care when opening any attached file. You can configure most Anti-Virus programs 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 knowledge. • 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). 8 - 4 Viruses Troubleshooting Upgrading 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). Upgrading and Adding New Hardware/Software 8 - 5 Troubleshooting • 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. 8 - 6 Upgrading and Adding New Hardware/Software Troubleshooting Problems and Possible Solutions Problem Possible Cause - Solution You turned on the power but it doesn’t work. Battery missing / incorrectly installed. Check the battery bay, make sure the battery is present and seated properly (the design of the battery only allows it to go in one way). Make sure there’s nothing interfering with the battery contacts. The battery LED power indicator , is blinking orange. Low Battery. Plug in the DC power source. If the computer doesn’t start up immediately, turn it off then on again. You are losing battery power too quickly. The system is using too much power. If your OS has a Power Options scheme (see “Power Plans” on page 3 - 4/“Power Schemes” on page D - 18) check its settings. You may also be using an ExpressCard/USB device/external device that is drawing a lot of power. Actual battery operating time is shorter than expected. The battery has not been fully discharged before being recharged. Make sure the battery is fully discharged 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 the options. A peripheral device/USB device/ExpressCard is consuming a lot of power. Turn off/remove the unused device to save power. Problems and Possible Solutions 8 - 7 Troubleshooting Problem Possible Cause - Solution The computer feels too hot. Make sure the computer is properly ventilated and the Vent/Fan intakes are not blocked. If this doesn’t cool it down, put the system into Hibernate mode or turn it off for an hour. Make sure the computer isn’t sitting on a thermal surface (see “Overheating” on page 1 - 14). Make sure you’re using the correct adapter. Make sure that your notebook is completely powered off before putting it into a travel bag (or any such container). Putting a notebook which is powered on in a travel bag may cause the Vent/Fan intakes to be blocked. Nothing screen. appears on The system is in a power saving mode. Toggle the sleep/resume key combination, Fn + F4 (see “Configuring the Power Buttons” on page 3 - 8/“Configuring the Power Button” on page D - 22). The screen controls need to be adjusted. Toggle the screen control key combinations Fn + F8/F9. If you’re connected to an external monitor, make sure it’s plugged in and turned on. You should also check the monitor’s own brightness and contrast controls. The computer is set for a different display. Toggle the screen display key combination, Fn + F7. If an external monitor is connected, turn it on. The screen saver is activated. Press any key or touch the TouchPad. No image appears on the external monitor I have plugged in and powered on. You haven’t installed the video driver and configured it appropriately from the Control Panel. See Appendix B/“Video Features” on page D - 7 for instructions on installing and configuring the video driver. 8 - 8 Problems and Possible Solutions Troubleshooting Problem You forget password. the Possible Cause - Solution boot If you forget the password, you may have to discharge the battery of the CMOS. Contact your service representative for help. Password Warning If you choose to set a boot password, NEVER forget your password. The consequences of this could be serious. If you cannot remember your boot password you must contact your vendor and you may lose all of the information on your hard disk. The sound cannot be heard or the volume is very low. The volume might be set too low. Check the volume control in the Volume Control Panel in the Windows taskbar, or use the key combination Fn + F5 and F6 (see “Function/Hot Key Indicators” on page 1 - 10) to adjust. The CD/DVD cannot be read. The CD/DVD is dirty. Clean it with a CD/DVD cleaner kit. The CD/DVD tray will not open when there is a disc in the tray. The CD/DVD is not correctly placed in the tray. Gently try to remove the disc using the eject hole (see “Loading Discs” on page 2 - 3). The DVD regional codes can no longer be changed. The code has been changed the maximum 5 times. See “DVD Regional Codes” on page 2 - 5/ “DVD Regional Codes” on page D - 2. Problems and Possible Solutions 8 - 9 Troubleshooting Problem Unwelcome numbers appear when typing. Possible Cause - Solution If the LED is lit, then Num Lock is turned ON. (see “LED Indicators” on page 1 - 7). Other Keyboards If your keyboard is damaged or you just want to make a change, you can use any standard USB keyboard. The system will detect and enable it automatically. However special functions/hot keys unique to the system’s regular keyboard may not work. The system freezes or the screen goes dark. The system’s power saving features have timed-out. Use the AC/DC adapter, press the sleep (Fn + F4) key combination, or press the power button if no LEDs are lit. The system never goes into a power saving mode. Power Options features are not enabled. Go to the Windows Power Options menu and enable the features you prefer (see “Power-Saving States” on page 3 - 6/“System Power Options” on page D - 20).

Figure D - 11 - Display Properties (Extended Desktop) D - 14 Attaching Other Displays Windows XP Information Power Management Features To conserve power, especially when using the battery, your computer uses the ACPI power management system. Power management conserves power by controlling individual components of the computer (the monitor and hard disk drive) or the whole system. The Power Options control panel icon in Windows (see page D - 3) allows you to configure power management features for your computer. You may conserve power through individual components such as the monitor or hard disk, or you may use either Stand by or Hibernate mode to conserve power throughout the system. Advanced Configuration and Power Interface The ACPI interface provides the computer with enhanced power saving techniques and gives the operating system (OS) direct control over the power and thermal states of devices and processors. For example, it enables the OS to set devices into lowpower states based on user settings and information from applications. ACPI is fully supported in Windows XP. OS Note Power management functions will vary slightly depending on your operating system. For more information it is best to refer to the user’s manual of your operating system. (Note: All pictures used on the following pages are from the Windows XP OS.) Power Management Features D - 15 Windows XP Information The Power Sources The computer can be powered by either an AC/DC adapter or a battery pack. AC/DC Adapter Use only the AC/DC adapter that comes with your computer. The wrong type of AC/DC adapter will damage the computer and its components. 1. 2. 3. 4. Attach the AC/DC adapter to the DC-in jack at the rear of the computer. Plug the AC power cord into an outlet, and then connect the AC power cord to the AC/DC adapter. Raise the lid/LCD to a comfortable viewing angle. Press the power button to turn “On”. Battery The 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 “Battery Information” on page D - 23. D - 16 The Power Sources Windows XP Information Turning on the Computer Now you are ready to begin using your computer. To turn it on simply press the power 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 and holding the power button for longer than this will shut the computer down). Use Power Options in the Windows control panel to configure this feature. Shutdown Note that you should always shut your computer down by choosing the Turn Off Computer command from the Start menu in Windows. This will help prevent hard disk or system problems. Forced Off If the system “hangs”, and the Ctrl + Alt + Del key combination doesn’t work, press the power button for 4 seconds, or longer, to force the system to turn itself off. Power Button as Stand by or Hibernate Button If 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 or Hibernate mode (see your OS’s documentation, or “Configuring the Power Button” on page D - 22 for details). Turning on the Computer D - 17 Windows XP Information Resuming Operation Press a key on the keyboard, or move the mouse/TouchPad to resume from Monitor or Hard Disk Stand by. Power Schemes You can set your computer to conserve power through individual components by means of Power Schemes. You can also adjust the settings for each scheme to set the monitor to turn off after a specified time, and the computer's hard disk motor to turn off if the hard disk drive has not been accessed for a specified period of time (if the system reads or writes data, the hard disk motor will be turned back on). The schemes may also be set to set a specified time for the system to enter Stand by or Hibernate modes (see “System Power Options” on page D - 20). Figure D - 12 Power Schemes D - 18 Power Schemes Windows XP Information Each Windows Power Scheme will also adjust the processor performance of your machine in order to save power. This is worth bearing in mind if you are experiencing any reduced performance (especially under DC/battery power). Choose the Home/Office Desk scheme for maximum performance when the computer is powered from an AC power source. Choose the Max Battery scheme (bear in mind that this scheme may slow down the overall performance of the computer in order to save power) for maximum power saving when the computer is battery (DC power) powered. Windows will use Portable/Laptop as the default scheme. Power Schemes D - 19 Windows XP Information Stand by/Hibernate or Shutdown Error The computer may stop responding when you put it into (or resume from) Stand By or Hibernate, or when you shut down. System Power Options You can use the system power options to stop the computer’s operation and restart where 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 tab in the Power Options control panel - see “Hibernate” on page D - 21). Hibernate Mode vs. Shutdown Hibernate mode and Shutdown are the same in that the system is off and you need to press the power button to turn it on. Their main difference is: This error is caused by power management within Windows XP, when applied to a PC Camera attached to the internal USB hub. 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 last used. Microsoft has posted a Hotfix for this error on its website (search for Hotfix KB909667). Stand by Mode vs. Hibernate Mode Download and install the Hotfix to correct this error. You can use either method depending on your needs. If you want to stay away from your work for just a while, you can put the system on Stand by instead of in hibernation. It takes a longer time to wake up the system from Hibernate mode than from Stand by mode. D - 20 System Power Options Windows XP Information Stand by Stand by saves the least amount of power, but takes the shortest time to return to full operation. During Stand by the hard disk is turned off, and the CPU is made to idle at its slowest speed. All open applications are retained in memory. When you are not using your computer for a certain length of time, which you specify in the operating system, it will enter Stand by mode to save power. System Resume The system can resume from Stand by mode by: • Pressing the power button Hibernate Hibernate uses no power and saves all of your information on a part of the HDD before it turns the system off. Although it saves the most power it takes the longest time to return to full operation. You can set your computer to automatically enter Hibernate mode when the battery power is almost depleted. You will need to enable Hibernate mode from the Hibernate tab in the Power Options control panel. The system will resume from Hibernate mode by pressing the power button. • Pressing the Sleep/ Resume key combination • An incoming call received on the modem (if enabled) • Network card (Wake On LAN) activity (if enabled) Figure D - 13 Enable Hibernation System Power Options D - 21 Windows XP Information Sleep Button You may also configure the Sleep/Resume key combination (Fn + F4) from the menu illustrated. In Windows this is referred to as the Sleep button. Configuring the Power Button The power button may be set to send the computer in to either Stand by or Hibernate mode. In Stand by mode, the LED will blink green. In Hibernate mode the LED will be off (battery) or orange (AC/DC adapter). If you are in a power saving mode set to save power through individual components (e.g. hard disk, monitor), the LED will remain green.
