Why does the keyboard and/or palm rest get warm?
Typically, the Joybook tends to be slightly warm. The location of the battery is typ-
ically underneath the palm rest and as a result, the palm rest gets warm. The loca-
tion of the processor is typically underneath the keyboard and since heat rises, the
keyboard may slightly get warm. There is no need to be concerned. However, since
your computer has a thermally controlled fan, when the CPU and/or internal tem-
perature of the notebook reaches a certain temperature level, the fan is turned ON
and stays ON until the temperature drops to a pre-defined level.
The U, I, O, P, J, K, L keys on my Joybook are coming up as numbers instead of
letters?
The number keys are enabled. Press the num lk (Number Lock) key once to dis-
able the number lock function, and the letters will return to normal.
There is no sound coming from the speakers.
Check the following:
•
The speakers may have been muted. Look at the volume control (speaker icon)
on the Windows Taskbar to see if mute has been set. If so, turn off the mute.
•
The speakers may have been turned off. Use the Fn + F7 hotkey combination to
turn them on.
•
The volume may have been set too low. Use the Volume Up/Down Button to
increase the volume.
•
An earphone or external speakers may be connected to the audio-out jack, auto-
matically turning off the computer's internal speakers.
CD or DVD does not function.
Please verify the following:
•
Joybook is turned on, and the CD or DVD discs are properly inserted in the cen-
ter of the disc tray in the optical drive.
•
The disc tray is closed.
•
The CD or DVD is not bent or badly scratched.
•
Noise from the optical drive when the disk plays shows that the optical drive may
be deformed, and the computer needs to be repaired. If the disk tray does not
open after the Eject button is pressed, insert a pin into the Emergency Eject hole
to force the tray out.
DVD movies will not play.
