Troubleshooting

taskbar speaker icon.
■
Make sure that
Mute
is not selected. For more information, see “Adjusting
the volume” on page 66.
Video
The screen is too dark
■
Adjust the brightness using the function keys.
The external monitor is not working
■
Make sure that the monitor power is turned on and that the video cable
is properly connected.
The LCD panel has pixels that are always dark or too bright
■
This condition is normal and inherent in the TFT technology used in
active-matrix LCD screens. Gateway’s inspection standards keep these to
a minimum. If you feel these pixels are unacceptably numerous or dense
on your display, contact Gateway Client Care to identify whether a repair
or replacement is justified based on the number of pixels affected.
Important If your Solo 1150 is a DSTN LCD panel, you may notice
some minor screen distortions or ghosting with this
technology. Use your brightness and contrast Function
keys to adjust your screen for best viewing.
