When you are having trouble with this computer, there is something you think is strange, or
there is something you want to do, but do not know how. This section is divided into related
items.

The power does not come on.

Checkpoint

Is the AC adaptor connected?

Is the main switch turned on?

Is the battery charged?

Has the computer been left
unused for a long time?

Cause and Solution

When using this computer for the first time after purchase, the
battery is not yet charged, so you must connect the AC adaptor
and turn on the main switch.

If the main switch is not turned on, the power will not come on
even if the SUS/RES button is pressed.

If a beep is heard when the main switch is turned on, then the
battery is running low (LOW BATTERY). Connect the AC
adaptor.

When using the computer for the first time after leaving it
unused for a long time, connect the AC adaptor and switch on
the main switch to switch on the power.

Nothing displayed on the LCD panel

Checkpoint

Is 

 displayed on the LCD

panel?

Is anything displayed on the
status indicator LCD?

Cause and Solution

• Displayed

Adjust the brightness and darkness with the brightness and
contrast controls.

• Flashing or not displayed

Press the SUS/RES button to put the computer into operating
mode. Check if the battery is charged. If it is not charged,
connect the AC adaptor and charge it.
If you are already using this computer with the AC adaptor
connected, check that it is correctly plugged into the power
socket and into the computer.

Connect the AC adaptor and switch on the main switch.

AC

100/240V
