7 - 8 PC Camera Module

Video View (for 2.0M pixel camera module)

Video View is a video viewer useful for general purpose video viewing and testing,

and can capture video files to .avi format.

1. Run the Video View program from the Start > Programs/All Programs > USB2.0

PC Camera menu (it is recommended that you set the capture file before the

capture process - see Set Capture File below).

2. Go to the Capture menu heading (if you wish to capture audio check “PC Camera

Audio Setup (all camera modules)” on page 7 - 4) and select Start Capture.

3. Click OK (the file location will be displayed in the pop-up box) to start capturing the

video, and press Esc to stop the capture.

Set Capture File

Prior to capturing video files you may Set Capture File... To avoid overwriting files

you can go to the Set Capture File.. option in the File menu, and set the file name

and location before capture. Set the name and location then click Open (you can

choose Cancel to ignore the file size if prompted).



Pre-Allocating File

Space

You may pre-allocate

the file size for the cap-

ture file in the Video

View program.

Pre-allocating space on

the hard disk can im-

prove the capture quali-

ty (particularly of large

capture files), by reduc-

ing the amount of work

the hard disk has to do

in finding space for the

video data as it is being

captured.

Overview 8 - 1

Chapter 8: Troubleshooting

Overview

Should you have any problems with your computer, before consulting your service representative, you may want

to try to solve the problem yourself. 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.

Troubleshooting

8 - 2 Basic Hints and Tips

Basic Hints and Tips

Many 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”).

Troubleshooting

Backup and General Maintenance 8 - 3

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 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).



Warranty

The CPU is not a user serviceable part. Opening this compartment, or accessing the CPU in any way, may violate your war-

ranty.

Troubleshooting

8 - 4 Viruses

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 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).

Troubleshooting

Upgrading and Adding New Hardware/Software 8 - 5

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).

Troubleshooting

8 - 6 Upgrading and Adding New Hardware/Software

• 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.

Troubleshooting

Problems and Possible Solutions 8 - 7

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 - 16) 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 - 21).

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.

Power Management Features D - 13

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 in-

dividual 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 ei-

ther 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 low-

power 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.

D - 14 The Power Sources

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. 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”.

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 - 24).

We recommend that you do not remove the battery. For more information on the battery, please refer to “Battery

Information” on page D - 21.

Windows XP Information

Turning on the Computer D - 15

Turning on the Computer

Now 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 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 al-

ways shut your comput-

er down by choosing the

Turn Off Computer

command from the Start

menu in Windows. This

will help prevent hard

disk or system prob-

lems.



Forced Off

If 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 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 - 20 for details).

Windows XP Information

D - 16 Power Schemes

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 - 18).



Resuming

Operation

Press a key on the key-

board, or move the

mouse/TouchPad to re-

sume from Monitor or

Hard Disk Stand by.

Figure D - 10

Power Schemes

Windows XP Information

Power Schemes D - 17

Each 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/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 per-

formance 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.

Windows XP Information

D - 18 System Power Options

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 - 19).

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:

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.

You can use either method depending on your needs.

Stand by Mode vs. Hibernate Mode

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.



Stand by/Hibernate

or Shutdown Error

The computer may stop

responding when you

put it into (or resume

from) Stand By or Hiber-

nate, or when you shut

down.

This error is caused by

power management

within Windows XP,

when applied to a PC

Camera attached to the

internal USB hub.

Microsoft has posted a

Hotfix for this error on its

website (search for Hot-

fix KB909667).

Download and install the

Hotfix to correct this er-

ror.

Windows XP Information

System Power Options D - 19

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.

Hibernate

Hibernate uses no power and saves all of your information on a part of the HDD be-

fore 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 Hiber-

nate mode when the battery power is almost depleted. You will need to enable Hi-

bernate mode from the Hibernate tab in the Power Options control panel. The

system will resume from Hibernate mode by pressing the power button.



System Resume

The system can resume

from Stand by mode by:

• Pressing the power

button

• Pressing the Sleep/

Resume key combi-

nation

• An incoming call

received on the

modem (if enabled)

• Network card (Wake

On LAN) activity (if

enabled)

Battery Information

Please follow these simple guidelines to get the best use out of your battery.

New Battery

Always completely discharge, then fully charge, a new battery (see “Battery FAQ”

on page D - 24 for instructions on how to do this).

Battery Life

Your computer’s battery life is dependent upon many factors, including the programs

you are running, and peripheral devices attached. Power Options (you may set low

battery Alarms and actions, and check the Power Meter from the Power Options

control panel), and settings in the OS will help prolong the battery life if configured

appropriately.



Low Battery

Warning

When the battery is criti-

cally low, immediately

connect the AC/DC

adapter to the computer

or save your work, oth-

erwise, the unsaved

data will be lost when

the power is depleted.

Figure D - 13

Power Options

(Alarm & Power

Meter)

Windows XP Information

D - 22 Battery Information

Battery life may be shortened through improper maintenance. To optimize the life and improve its perfor-

mance, fully discharge and recharge the battery at least once every 30 days.

We recommend that you do not remove the battery yourself. If you need to remove the battery for any reason,

see “Removing the Battery” on page 6 - 3.

Recharging the Battery with the AC/DC Adapter

The battery pack automatically recharges when the AC/DC adapter is attached and plugged into an electrical out-

let. If the computer is powered on, and in use, it will take several hours to fully recharge the battery. When the

computer is turned off but plugged into an electrical outlet, battery charge time is less. (Refer to “LED Indica-

tors” on page 1 - 7 for information on the battery charge status, and to “Battery Information” on page D - 21

for more information on how to maintain and properly recharge the battery pack.)



Conserving Battery Power

To conserve battery power:

Lower the brightness level of the LCD display. The system will decrease LCD brightness slightly to save power when it is not powered by

the AC/DC adapter.

Close modem or communication applications when they are not being used.

Remove any unused PC Cards from the computer (PC Cards quickly use up battery power even if the system enters sleep mode).

Disconnect any unnecessary external devices.

Windows XP Information

Battery Information D - 23

Proper handling of the Battery Pack

• DO NOT disassemble the battery pack under any circumstances

• DO NOT expose the battery to fire or high temperatures, it may explode

• DO NOT connect the metal terminals (+, -) to each other



Damaged Battery Warning

Should you notice any physical defects (e.g. the battery is bent out of shape after being

dropped), or any unusual smells emanating from the notebook battery, shut your computer

down immediately and contact your service center. If the battery has been dropped we do

not recommend using it any further, as even if the computer continues to work with a dam-

aged battery in place, it may cause circuit damage, which may possibly result in fire. It is

recommended that you replace your computer battery every two years.

Windows XP Information

D - 24 Battery Information

Battery FAQ

How do I completely discharge the battery?

Use the computer with battery power until it shuts down due to a low battery. Don’t

turn off the computer by yourself even when you see a message that indicates the bat-

tery is critically low, just let the computer use up all of the battery power and shut

down on its own. Disable the Power Options functions in the Control Panel, espe-

cially any Alarms (unclick the tickboxes - see page D - 21) and Schemes (change

all the settings to Never - see page D - 16). As the battery nears the end of its life save

and close any critical files.

How do I fully charge the battery?

When charging the battery, don’t stop until the LED charging indicator light changes

from orange to green.

How do I maintain the battery?

Completely discharge and charge the battery at least once every 30 days or after

about 20 partial discharges.



Caution

Danger of explosion if

battery is incorrectly re-

placed.

Replace only with the

same or equivalent type

recommended by the

manufacturer. Discard

used battery according

to the manufacturer’s in-

structions.
