Pre-Allocating File
Space
You may pre-allocate
the file size for the capture file in the Video
View program.
Pre-allocating space on
the hard disk can improve the capture quality (particularly of large
capture files), by reducing the amount of work
the hard disk has to do
in finding space for the
video data as it is being
captured.
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.

3.
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).
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.
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).

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.
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.

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.

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.

used on the following
pages are from the
Windows XP OS.)

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 - 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
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 - 20 for details).
Turning on the Computer D - 15
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 - 18).
Figure D - 10
Power Schemes
D - 16 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.

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 - 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:
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 - 18 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

Battery Information
Please follow these simple guidelines to get the best use out of your battery.
Low Battery
Warning
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.
When the battery is critically low, immediately
connect the AC/DC
adapter to the computer
or save your work, otherwise, the unsaved
data will be lost when
the power is depleted.
Figure D - 13
Power Options
(Alarm & Power
Meter)
Battery Information D - 21
Windows XP Information
Battery life may be shortened through improper maintenance. To optimize the life and improve its performance, 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 outlet. 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 Indicators” 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.
D - 22 Battery Information
Windows XP Information
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 damaged 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.
Battery Information D - 23
Windows XP Information
Battery FAQ
Caution
Danger of explosion if
battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the
same or equivalent type
recommended by the
manufacturer. Discard
used battery according
to the manufacturer’s instructions.
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 battery 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, especially 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.
