Frequently-asked questions
This is a list of possible situations that may arise during the use of your computer,
and it gives easy answers and solutions to these questions.
I press the power switch, 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:
• Make sure the AC adapter is plugged in properly to the computer and to
the power outlet.
• If it is lit, check if the Standby indicator is lit, the computer is in Standby
mode. Press any key or tap on the touchpad to resume.
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- ← and Fn-
→
to adjust the
brightness level.
• The display device might be set to an external monitor. Press the display
toggle hot key Fn-F3 to toggle the display back to the computer.
Image is not full-screen.
Make sure the resolution is set to a resolution your system supports. 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 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 comes out from the computer.
Check the following:
•
The volume may be muted. In Windows, look at the volume control 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-F5 to turn the speakers on (this
hotkey also turns the speakers off).
