Press a keyboard key or the Suspend button.

The built-in LCD may not be selected. Press
Fn-F3

once or twice.

Screen brightness needs adjustment. Adjust the
control.

The system entered Suspend mode due to low
battery power. Plug in the AC adapter before

Use power-saving modes.

Fully charge and fully discharge the battery several
times to recondition it.

Replace the battery.

Information on the LCD
screen is difficult to see.

Make sure the component is securely installed or
connected. Verify that the system parameter for the
I/O port configuration is set correctly in Setup.

The Suspend/Resume
button does not work.

A disk drive might be busy. Wait until the disk drive
