ing an incompatible battery may increase the risk of fire or ex-
plosion.
Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the battery pack. A
battery pack other than the one specified by us, or a disassem-
bled or modified battery pack, is not covered by the warranty.
When disposing of the battery, comply with local ordinances

When using a high power consumption USB device such as
USB HDD, use an external device power adapter to avoid sys-
tem damage.

Troubleshooting
English
ProblemSolution
If the processor overheats, the computer will automatically
enter sleep mode to allow the computer to cool and to protect
the processor and other internal components. Check that the
computer is properly ventilated and not hot to the touch.
Check the sleep mode settings. The computer enters sleep
mode (the sleep indicator turns on) immediately after Power-
on self-test (POST).
The critical low-battery er-
ror message appears, and
the computer immediately
turns off.
Connect the AC adapter to the computer, or replace the battery
with a fully charged one.
The computer does not
return from sleep mode,
or the sleep indicator stays
on and the computer does
not work.
Check the sleep indicator light to confirm that your system is
in sleep mode. If it has turned off, your computer has gone into
hibernation mode. Press the power button to exit hibernation
mode.
Check that the battery is charged. A depleted battery will
cause the computer to automatically enter hibernation mode.
If the battery is depleted, connect to AC power and press the
power button to exit hibernation mode.
If the system still does not return from sleep mode, your sys-
tem has stopped responding. Reset the computer by pressing
and holding the Power button for 4 seconds or more. Unsaved
data may be lost.
If the computer fails to reset, unplug the AC adapter and
remove, then reinsert, the battery.
Troubleshooting
English
ProblemSolution
The screen is unreadable or
distorted.
Check that screen resolution and color quality are correctly set.
Check that the monitor type is correct. This information is
available under the menu Display Settings Æ Monitor.
Confirm that the display device driver is installed correctly. This
information is available under the menu Personalize Æ Display
Settings Æ Advanced Settings Æ Adapter. The Adapter Infor-
mation window should display the correct device driver name.
NOTE: The device driver name depends on the video chip that
has been installed on your computer. Click the Properties button
and check the “Device status” box to confirm that the device is
working properly. If not, click the Troubleshoot button.
Incorrect characters appear
on the screen.
Check that your application and operating system are correctly
installed.
Missing, discolored, or
bright dots appear on the
screen every time you turn
on your computer.
Check that the surface of the screen is not scratched or dam-
aged. If there is no visible damage, these small idiosyncrasies
are a standard element of TFT screen technology and will not
affect the computer’s performance.
Sound
No sound can be heard from
the speaker even when the
volume is turned up.
Confirm that the Mute function is off.
Check that no external device, such as a headphone or speaker,
is plugged into the audio output (headphone) jack.
Check that speakers are selected as a playback device.
Battery
Your computer shuts down
before the battery status in-
dicator turns on, or continues
to operate after the battery
status indicator lights.
Remove and reinsert the battery. If the problem persists, you
may need to replace the battery.
Troubleshooting
English
ProblemSolution
The operating time for a
fully charged battery is
short, or the computer
does not operate with a
fully charged battery.
Remove and reinsert the battery. If the problem persists, you
may need to replace the battery.
The surge protector in the battery might be active. Turn off the
computer for one minute to reset the protector; then turn on
the computer again.
The battery does not
charge.
Replace the battery.
Hard Drive
The hard disk drive does
not work.
In the Boot menu in AMI Setup Utility, make sure that the hard
disk drive is included in the Boot Sequence.
Other Problems
The computer does not
respond.
Turn off the computer by pressing and holding the power
button for 4 seconds or more. If the computer still does not
respond, remove the AC adapter and the battery.
Your computer may lock if it enters sleep mode during a
communication operation. To prevent this from happening,
disable the sleep timer when you are working on the internet
or network.
For your safety, never attempt to repair the device yourself.
Attempting to do so will invalidate the warranty. Internal components
of the device carry a risk of electric shock.
