Troubleshooting
Is the computer screen blank?
If you have not turned off the computer but the screen is blank,
the computer may be in standby or hibernation, may not be set to
display the image on the computer screen, or the display switch
or ambient light sensor (select models only) may not be
functioning properly.
The suggested actions below may help you determine the reason
the computer screen is blank.
■
To resume from standby or restore from hibernation,
briefly press the power button.
Standby and hibernation are energy-saving features that can
turn off the display. Standby and hibernation can be initiated
by the system while the computer is in Microsoft®
Windows® but is not in use. To change these and other power
settings, select Start > Control Panel > Performance and
Maintenance > Power Options.
■
To transfer the image to the computer screen, press fn+f4.
On most models, when an optional external display device,
such as a monitor, is connected to the computer, the image
can be displayed on the computer screen or the external
display, or on both devices simultaneously. When you press
fn+f4 repeatedly, the image alternates among the computer
display, one or more external display devices, and
simultaneously displays on all devices.
■
Press the display switch on the computer to confirm that it
moves freely.
The display switch is normally located on the upper-left
corner of the keyboard.
■
If the computer has an ambient light sensor (select models
only), make sure that the sensor is not obstructed.
The ambient light sensor is normally located on the lower-left
corner of the display.

Troubleshooting
Is the computer overheating?
It is normal for the computer to feel warm to the touch while it
is in use. But if the computer feels unusually warm, it may be
overheating because a vent is blocked.
If you suspect that overheating could be causing the problem,
allow the computer to cool to room temperature. Then be sure
to keep all vents free from obstructions while you are using the
computer.
Ä
CAUTION: To prevent overheating, do not obstruct vents. Use the
computer only on a hard, flat surface. Do not allow another hard
surface, such as an adjoining optional printer, or a soft surface, such as
a pillows or thick rugs or clothing, to block airflow.

System recovery
Safeguarding your data
Software or devices added to the computer can cause your system
to become unstable. To safeguard your documents, store personal
files in the My Documents folder and periodically create a
backup copy of the My Documents folder.
Using Altiris Local Recovery (select
models only)
Altiris Local Recovery is a preloaded application that protects the
files on your computer by storing copies of files, called
snapshots. If files on your computer are accidentally deleted or
corrupted, you can easily restore the files yourself. You can also
restore your complete file system to a previous state.
Altiris Local Recovery provides protection of files by backing up
files to a hidden Altiris recovery partition. When you install the
software, the Recovery Agent Partition Wizard guides you
through the process of creating the recovery partition. After the
partition is created, the computer restarts and creates the first
snapshot. After the snapshot is created, the computer restarts,
making the snapshot available for recovery through Windows.
By default, Local Recovery automatically takes snapshots of your
files on a regular basis. You can change the snapshot schedule.
For more information, refer to the Altiris Local Recovery Help.

To access your snapshots in the Altiris Recovery Agent folder:
1. Right-click the Altiris Recovery Agent icon on your desktop.
2. Click Open.
To restore one of the listed snapshots:
»
Drag the snapshot file to the appropriate location on your
hard drive.
For more information on configuring and using Altiris Local
Recovery, visit the HP Web site at http://www.hp.com/go/easydeploy,
or open the software and click Help on the menu bar.
Using System Restore points
System Restore is an operating system feature that allows you to
reverse undesirable changes to your computer by restoring the
computer to an earlier state, called a restore point. A restore point
is a “snapshot” of your software, drivers, and operating system
files at a particular time. The computer automatically creates
restore points at regular intervals and may create additional
restore points when you change your personal settings or add
software or hardware.
You can manually create additional restore points to provide
increased protection for your system files and settings. It is
recommended that you manually create restore points
■
Before you add or extensively modify software or hardware.
■
Periodically, whenever the system is performing optimally.
Restoring to any restore point does not affect your data files. For
example, restoring your system software to an earlier state will
not affect documents or e-mails that you saved after that time.
