CD Power Switch

Turns ON or OFF the CD player while the Notebook PC is turned OFF.

CD Player Control Buttons (on selected models)

There are several CD control buttons integrated externally on the Notebook PC for convenient CD playing. The buttons activate and control your operating system’s software audio player when the Notebook PC is ON. When your Notebook PC is OFF, the CD control buttons activate a hardware CD player function that allows you to listen to audio CDs without software. (See section 3 for more information.)

3 Display Panel Latch

One spring-loaded latch on the front of the Notebook PC locks the display panel in the closed position when the Notebook PC is not in use. To open the display panel, negotiate the latch with your thumb and lift up the display panel with the same thumb. Slowly tilt the display panel forward or backward to a comfortable viewing angle.

WARNING! When opening, do not force the display panel down to the table or else the hinges may break! Never lift the Notebook PC by the display panel!
