My mouse does not work

If you are using an external mouse, check that the mouse is plugged into the mouse connector. See “Connecting an External Mouse or Keyboard” on page 62 for details.

If you connected an external mouse while your computer is on, you must restart your computer.

If you are using an optional Sony USB mouse PCGA-UMS1, check that the mouse is plugged into the USB connector.

My touchpad does not work

You may have disabled the touchpad while no mouse was connected to the computer. If so, you must enable the touchpad using Sony Notebook Setup.

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.
