The keyboard does not respond.

Try attaching an external keyboard to a USB 2.0 port on the rear or left of the computer. If it works, contact your dealer or an authorised service center as the internal keyboard cable may be loose.

The infrared port does not work.

Check the following:

Make sure that the infrared ports of the two devices are facing each other (+/- 15 degrees) a maximum of 1 metre apart.

Make sure there is a clear path between the two infrared ports. Nothing should be blocking the ports.

Make sure you have the appropriate software running on both devices (for file transfers) or you have the appropriate drivers (for printing to an infrared printer).

During the POST, press <F2> to access the BIOS Utility and verify that the infrared port is enabled.

Make sure both devices are IrDA-compliant.

The printer does not work.

Check the following:

Make sure that the printer is connected to a power outlet and that it is turned on.

Make sure that the printer cable is connected securely to the computer's parallel port and the corresponding port on the printer.

During POST, press <F2> to access the BIOS Utility and verify that the parallel port is enabled.
