Troubleshooting
Dealing with Problems
(Summary)
No display after powering on
The power has not been
turned off, but after a cer-
tain period of time, there is
no display
When the battery pack is
used, the screen is darker
than when the AC adaptor
is connected
An afterimage appears (e.g.,
green, red, and blue dots re-
main on the display) or there
are dots not displaying the
correct colors
The screen becomes disor-
dered
When there is no display to an external display,
• Check your cable connection to the external display.
• Confirm your display is powered on.
• Check the settings for your external display.
The display destination may be set to the external display.
Try changing the display destination by pressing
Fn

If you want to switch the display destination repeatedly by pressing
Fn
+
F3

sure that the display destination has switched completely each time before pressing

again.
Press
Fn

and adjust the brightness.
Has the computer been set to the power-saving mode?
To resume operation of your computer from the condition the power of the display is off
(for energy conservation purposes), press any key unrelated to the direct triggering of a
selection, like
Ctrl
.
To save power, your computer may have automatically entered the standby mode (power
indicator blinks green) or hibernation mode (power indicator turns off). In such cases,
slide the power switch.
Press
Fn
+
F2
and adjust the brightness. Note, however, that when the brightness is
increased, the battery running time will become shorter.
Brightness can be set to separate levels for when the AC adaptor is connected and when
it is disconnected.
If an image is displayed for a prolonged period of time, an afterimage may appear. This is
not a malfunction. The afterimage will disappear when a different screen is displayed.
High-precision and advanced technologies are necessary for the production of color liq-
uid crystal displays (color LCDs). Therefore, if 0.002% or less of the picture elements

functioning properly). This is not considered a defect.

or if an external display is connected or disconnected while the computer is operating.
