Things you must remember before working on your
8
computer
Let your computer acclimate itself
Your notebook can easily stand temperature extremes but it doesn’t like rapid
changes in temperature, like going from the cold outdoors to a warm office. Rapid
changes in temperature can cause water droplets to condense inside your case,
threatening to damage the electronic parts inside.
After receiving your notebook when it’s hot or cold outside, try not to power
up the computer immediately, let the computer adjust to the room temperature
gradually at least for three to four hours.
WARNING
If your system arrives in cold weather, do not apply power to the computer or
monitor until they have been allowed to come to room temperature
Heat, Cold, Humidity, and Glare
Find a suitable place for your computer that’s not too hot, too cold, too dark,
or too bright. Glare can make it hard to read the screen.
●Try to avoid the computer components from being destroyed if it is over heated,
so try to allow plenty of room for air to circulate around the case.
●Do not block the ventilation opening.
●Do not place your computer in direct sunlight.
Suitable place to work
Your computer will run well wherever you ’ re comfortable but extremes of
temperature and humidity can be challenging to your system’s parts.
There are some things you can tolerate that the computer can’t – things like
static electricity, dust, water, steam and oil. In case you decide to pull over for
roadside computing, try to choose a clean, comfortable work area for your system.
A lithium-ion battery pack will be available when you are traveling. If you are
running your system for the first time on battery power, remove the battery from
the package, install it into the system and recharge the battery to fully prepare
for service.

Troubleshooting
This chapter describes locating and solving problems that you may encounter while using
your computer.
Locating a Problem
Problems with your computer can be caused by something as minor as an unplugged power
cord – or as major as a damaged hard disk. The information in this chapter is designed to help you
find and solve minor problems. If you try all the suggested solutions and you still have a problem,
make a list of what steps you have taken to correct the problem and contact your dealer.
Successful troubleshooting is the result of careful observation, deductive reasoning, and an
organized approach to solving the problem.
The problems that you will encounter can be divided into two basic categories: hardware
problems and software problems. Hardware problems can be further divided into electrical and
mechanical problems. You will know you have a hardware problem if the screen is dark, the
computer cannot read the disk drives, or you get an error message during the Power-On Self Test
(POST).
Software errors can occur at several levels. The ROM BIOS and the operating system can
give you a large number of error messages. On top of this, each application software package has
its own set of error messages. It is important to determine whether the software error message you
are getting is from the application or the operating system. Once you know this, you can look in
the respective manual for a solution to the problem.
Checking Cables and Connections
Start by performing a careful visual inspection of the exterior of the computer. If no LEDs are
illuminated, make sure that your computer and its peripherals are getting power and
communicating with each other properly.
To check the power cables, and connections:
1.If you have been using battery power, connect the Notebook to an external power source
and make sure that the battery has a charge.
2.If you are using the Notebook with the AC adapter, check the power outlet, the power cord,
and any power switches that may affect your computer.
●Check the wall outlet or power strip with an item that you know is functioning properly. A
lamp or radio is a convenient item for checking the power. You may also need to check the fuses
and breakers in your electric box.
●If the outlet is controlled by a wall switch, make sure that the switch is on.
●If the outlet is controlled by a dimmer switch, use a different outlet.
●If your computer is plugged into a power strip with an On/Off switch, make sure the
switch is on.
3.With the computer’s power switched off, check all cable connections. If the computer is
26
connected to any peripheral devices, look for loose or disconnected cables.
If the computer is too close to a wall, a cable connection may be loose or the cables may be
crimped.
WARNING
Do not substitute cables for different devices (other than the manufacturer recommended cables)
even if they look exactly alike. The wiring inside the cable may be different.
4.When you are certain that you have power available and all connections are good, turn the
computer on again. If the computer still does not start, you may have a hardware problem.
The Power-On Self Test
The Power-On Self Test (POST) runs every time you turn on or reset the Notebook. The
POST checks memory, the main system board, the display, the keyboard, the disk drives, and other
installed options.
A few seconds after you turn on your computer, a copyright message appears on your display
screen. A memory test message appears next; as the test continues, memory size increases until all
installed memory is tested. Normally, the only test routine visible on the screen will be the
memory test.
Two classifications of malfunctions can be detected during the POST:
●Error messages that indicate a failure with either the hardware, the software, or the Basic
Input/Output System (BIOS). These critical malfunctions prevent the computer from operating at
all or could cause incorrect and apparent results. An example of a critical error is microprocessor
malfunction.
●Messages that furnish important information on the power-on and boot processes (such as
memory status). These non-critical malfunctions are those that cause incorrect results that may not
be readily apparent. An example of a non-critical error would be a memory chip failure.
In general, if the POST detects a system board failure (a critical error), the computer halts
and generates a series of beeps. If failure is detected in an area other than the system board (such
as the display, keyboard, or an adapter card) an error message is displayed on the screen and
testing is stopped. It is important to remember that the POST does not test all areas of the
computer, only those that allow it to be operational enough to run diagnostic programs.
If your system does not successfully complete the POST, but displays a blank screen, emits a
series of beeps, or displays an error code, consult your dealer.
General Hardware Problems
A few common hardware problems and suggested solutions are presented in the table below:
Problem: Failure in the installation of the Audio driver.
Solution: Be sure to first remove the current audio device from your system. Please follow
the instruction on the installation of audio driver.
Problem:The display screen is dark
Solution: Make sure that the computer is not in Suspend mode. Check the Brightness
controls for the screen. If the controls are turned too far down, the screen will be dark.
Problem:An incorrect date and time are displayed
Solution:Correct the date and time using the DOS DATE and TIME commands or the
options in the Setup Utility. If the date and time become incorrect after a short time, your CMOS
27
battery may be depleted. Contact your dealer to change the battery.
Problem:The message: “Invalid system disk, Replace the disk, and then press any key”
appears during boot.
Solution:Check and make sure that you do not have a non-bootable floppy diskette inserted
in your floppy drive. If your USB FDD is empty, you may not have an operating system installed
on your drive. Contact technical support for assistance.
Problem:You hear irregular beeps during operation of the Notebook and the system halts.
Solution:The problem is beyond the scope of this manual. Contact technical support.
Problem:An unidentified message is displayed.
Solution:Reboot the computer and run the BIOS system setup. Confirm the Setup parameters.
If the same message is displayed after booting up again, contact technical support for assistance.
Problem:The system cannot access the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive.
Solution:Check that a CD is properly inserted in the drive. Make sure that you are using the
correct program for that kind of CD. For example, the system cannot read a data CD using an
audio program.
Problem:You cannot operate the printer.
Solution:Check the printer cable connection. Ensure that the printer power switch is turned
on. Confirm that the printer is on-line.
Problem:You can’t save data to disk.
Solution:Ensure that the disk has been formatted. Consult your operating system manual for
information on formatting floppy diskettes.
Problem:The diskette is write-protected.
Solution:Eject the diskette, remove the write protection, and try again.
Problem:The diskette if full.
Solution:Try using another diskette or free up some space on the diskette. The disk drive is
not operating. Contact your dealer for support.
Problem:You cannot use the mouse.
●Check the cable connection.
●Check the mouse with another application to see if there is a software incompatibility
problem.
●If possible, check the mouse with another computer to see if it works. If it doesn’t operate
on a different system, the mouse might be broken.
Contacting Your Dealer
If you still have a problem after reading the preceding sections, the next step is to contact
your dealer. Your dealer can determine if the problem is something that requires the computer to
be taken to the shop. Before you call your dealer, however, prepare the following information:
●How is your computer configured? Your dealer needs to know what peripheral devices you
are using.
●What messages, if any, are on the screen?
●What software were you running at the time?
●What have you done already to try to solve the problem? If you have overlooked a step,
your dealer may be able to solve the problem over the phone.
