giving you expansion possibilities long afforded by desktop PCs.
CardBus improves on the 16-bit PC card technology by expanding the
bandwidth to 32 bits.
Note: Refer to your card’s manual for details on how to install
and use the card and its functions.
Inserting a PC Card
Insert the card into the lower slot and make the proper connections

Frequently-asked questions
The following is a list of possible situations that may arise during the
use of your computer. Easy answers and solutions are provided for
each one.
I pressed the power switch and opened the display, but the computer
does not start or boot-up.
Look at the Power indicator:
•If it is not lit, no power is being applied to the computer. Check
the following:
• If you are running on battery power, it may be low and unable
to power the computer. Connect the AC adapter to recharge
the battery pack.
• Make sure that the AC adapter is plugged in properly to the
computer and to the power outlet.
•If it is lit, check the following:
• If the Sleep indicator is lit, the computer is in Sleep mode.
Press any key or tap on the touchpad to resume.
• Is a non-bootable (non-system) diskette in the floppy drive?
Remove or replace it with a system diskette and press Ctrl-Alt-
Del to restart the system.
•The operating system files may be damaged or missing. Insert the
startup disk you created during Windows setup into the floppy
drive and press Ctrl-Alt-Del to restart the system. This will
diagnose your system and make necessary fixes.
Nothing appears on the screen.
The computer’s power management system automatically blanks the
screen to save power. Press any key to turn the display back on.
If pressing a key does not turn the display back on, two things might
be the cause:
•The brightness level might be too low. Press Fn-→ to increase the
brightness level.
•The display device might be set to an external monitor. Press the
display toggle hot key Fn-F5 to toggle the display back to the
computer.

Image is not full-screen.
Make sure that the resolution is set to 1024x768. This is the native
resolution of your computer display. Right-click on your Windows
desktop and select Properties to bring up the Display Properties
dialog box. Then click on the Settings tab to make sure that the
resolution is set to the appropriate resolution. Resolutions lower than
the specified resolution are not full-screen on the computer or on an
external monitor.
No audio is heard from the computer.
Check the following:
•The volume may be muted. In Windows, look at the volume
control (speaker) icon on the taskbar. If it is crossed-out, click on
the icon and deselect the Mute option.
•The speakers may be turned off. Press Fn-F8 to turn the speakers
on (this hot key also turns the speakers off).
•The volume level may be too low. In Windows, look at the volume
control icon on the taskbar.
•If headphones, earphones or external speakers are connected to
the line-out port, the internal speakers automatically turn off.
I want to eject the CD or DVD tray without turning on the power. I
cannot eject the CD or DVD tray.
There is a mechanical eject button on the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive.
Simply insert the tip of a pen or paperclip and push to eject the tray.

The floppy drive cannot access a diskette.
Check the following:
•Make sure the diskette is properly inserted in the floppy drive.
•Make sure the diskette is formatted.
•If the diskette is not the cause of the problem, the floppy drive
may be dirty. Clean it using a drive cleaning kit. Follow the
instructions included with the kit.
The CD or DVD drive cannot access a disc.
Check the following:
•Make sure the disc is supported by the drive. If your computer has
a CD-ROM drive, it can read CDs but cannot read DVDs. If your
computer has a DVD drive, it can read DVDs in addition to CDs.
•When placing the CD or DVD in the drive tray, make sure it is
secure in the spindle on the drive tray.
•Make sure the CD or DVD is free from scratches or smudges. If the
CD or DVD is dirty, clean it using a disc cleaning kit. Remember to
follow the instructions included with the kit.
•If the problem does not lie with the disc, your CD or DVD drive
may be dirty. Clean it using a drive cleaning kit. Follow the
instructions included with the kit.
The keyboard does not respond.
Try attaching an external keyboard to the USB connector on the
computer’s rear. If it works, contact your dealer or an authorized
service center as the internal keyboard cable may be loose.
The serial mouse does not work.
Check the following:
•Make sure that the serial cable is plugged securely into the serial
port.
•During the POST, press F2 to access the BIOS Utility and verify that
the serial port is enabled. See “BIOS Utility” on page 49 for more
details.
