Basic Hints and Tips
Many of the following may seem obvious but they are often the solution to a problem when your computer ap-
pears 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 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 config-
ured in your P ower Options (see “Power-Saving States” on page 3 - 7 ), 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 bright-
ness.
• 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.
