Acer TravelMate 2420 manual No audio is heard from the computer

31

No audio is heard from the computer.

Check the following:

•The volume may be muted. In Windows, look at the volume control (speaker) icon on the taskbar. If it is crossed-out, click on the icon and deselect the Mute all option.

•The volume level may be too low. In Windows, look at the volume control icon on the taskbar. You can also use the volume control buttons to adjust the volume. See "Hotkeys" on page 22 for more detail.

•If headphones, earphones or external speakers are connected to the line- out port on the computer, the internal speakers automatically turn off.

I want to eject the optical drive tray without turning on the power.

There is a mechanical eject hole on the optical drive. Simply insert the tip of a pen or paperclip into the hole and push to eject the tray. (If your computer's optical drive is a slot-load model, it will not have an eject hole.)

The keyboard does not respond.

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

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 or a USB port and the corresponding port on the printer.
