Basic Hints and Tips
Many of the following may seem obvious but they are often the solution to a problem when your computer
appears not to be working.
•
Power
- Is the computer actually plugged into a working electrical outlet? If plugged into a
power strip
, make sure it is actually working. Check the
LED Power Indicators
(see
“LED
Power & Communication Indicators” on page 2 - 6
) to see the computer’s power status.
•
Connections
- Check all the
cables
to make sure that there are no
loose connections
anywhere.
•
Power Savings
-
Make sure that the system is not in
Hibernate
or
Standby
mode by pressing the
power button for less than 4 seconds (the Power LED will blink green while in
Standby
mode, in
Hibernate
mode the LED will be orange if powered by the AC adapter and it will be off if powered
by battery)
.
•
Brightness
- Check the brightness of the screen by pressing the
Fn
+
F8 and F9
keys to adjust
the brightness (see
“Advanced Video Controls” on page 3 - 2
).
•
Display Choice
- Press
Fn
+
F7
to make sure the system is not set to “external only” display (see
“Switching/Enabling Displays (Keyboard)” on page 3 - 10
).
•
Boot Drive
- Make sure there are no
floppy disks
in any attached drive when you start up your
machine (this is a common cause of the message “
Invalid system disk - Replace the disk, and
then press any key
” / “
Remove disks or other media. Press any key to restart”
).
