CHAPTER 6: TROUBLESHOOTING

Keyboard

The keyboard is not responding:

Clean the keyboard by using an aerosol can of compressed air with a proper extension to remove dust and lint trapped under the keys.

A keyboard character is repeating:

1.Make sure that there is nothing resting on any of the keys.

2.Check that no key on the keyboard is stuck. Press each key to loosen any keys that may be stuck and then restart your computer.

Spills on the Keyboard:

If liquid of any kind is spilled on the keyboard, turn off the computer. Clean the keyboard using the appropriate cleaning materials and turn it upside down to drain it. Once the keyboard has dried, turn on the computer. If the keyboard does not work, it needs to be replaced.

Keyboards damaged due to spills are not covered under limited warranty.

Memory

Memory errors detected on start up:

1.Check memory modules for correct seating and orientation. Reseat the memory modules if applicable.

2.Computers using a dual-channel memory configuration require that memory modules be installed in pairs. If you require assistance, please contact Alienware Technical Support (for details, refer to “CONTACTING ALIENWARE“ on page 90).
