Troubleshooting
'%
My touchpad does not work
You may have disabled the touchpad while no mouse was connected to
the computer. If so, you must restart the computer to make the touchpad
work again.
I cannot use DV devices. The message “DV equipment seems to be
disconnected or turned off” appears.
❑ Check that the DV device is turned on and that the cables are
properly connected.
❑ If you are using multiple i.LINK devices, the combination of the
connected devices may cause unstable operation. In this case, turn off
the power to all connected devices and disconnect unused devices.
Check the connection, then turn on the power again.
My touchpad interprets a single tap as a double-click
Click the Mouse icon in the Control Panel and then change the button
assignments in the Mouse Properties dialog box. One of the buttons is
assigned to the double-click action.
My computer does not shut down
It is best to shut down your computer using the Shut Down command on
the Windows Start menu. Using other methods, including those listed
here, may result in loss of unsaved data. If the Shut Down command does
not work properly, follow these steps:
❑ Restart the computer by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete. If this does not
work, press the power button and hold it for at least four seconds to
turn off the power.
❑ Unplug the computer from the AC adapter and remove the battery
pack from your computer.
My PC card is not working
❑ Make sure the PC card is compatible with Windows.
❑ Use the Sony Notebook Setup utility to disable devices you are not
currently using.
❑ If you are using two PC cards, use the Sony Notebook Setup utility to
disable devices you are not currently using.
The sound of my computer’s fan is too loud
Use the PowerPanel utility to change the Thermal Control Strategy
setting to Quiet. This setting slows down the CPU speed. See the
PowerPanel Help for more information.
