hard disk capacity in different ways. As a result, the nominated
capacity is different from the exact capacity displayed by the OS.
Example of a 40GB hard disk:
Exact capacity of a 40GB hard disk displayed in the OS:
40,000,000,000÷1024÷1024÷1024=37.2529 (GB).
Furthermore, when a hard disk is partitioned, the system will
reserve some space on the drive for system files. Therefore, the
total capacity of a hard disk displayed by the OS will never be
the same as its nominated capacity.
I hear noise when connecting an earphone to the nScreen.
Verify the following:
• Connect the earphone to other devices, such as a radio to see if
you can still hear that noise. If the noise persists, the earphone
may be out of order.
• If you can hear the noise only when inserting, it is the result of
high instantaneous current. It is a normal phenomenon.
What should I do if a program on Windows freezes?
If your system freezes, press the <Ctrl> + <Alt> + <Del> keys
simultaneously, click
Applications
under
Windows Task
Manager
, and then right-click on the application that freezes
and click
End Task
.
Why is my nScreen running so hot? Is it normal?
Yes. Because all the hardware is in such cramped quarters, it
tends to get hot. To prevent overheating, do not obstruct the
vent. For example, do not use the nScreen in bed where a
blanket may inadvertently cover the vent and block the airflow.
Why does my nScreen seem to turn off itself after a certain
period of inactivity?
This is the default setting of the nScreen to conserve power. The
nScreen is configured to use the power saving feature. You can
go to
Start
>
Control Panel
>
Performance and
Maintenance
>
Power Options
in Windows to adjust the
setting manually.
