CHAPTER 5: TROUBLESHOOTING
Basic Hints and Tips
•Computer does not power on: Is your AC adapter cable securely connected to a working electrical outlet? If connected to a power strip, ensure that the strip is actually working.
•Connections: Check all the cables to ensure that there are no loose connections anywhere.
•Power Savings: Ensure that your computer is not in hibernate or standby mode by pressing the power button for less than 4 seconds. The power status light will fade from blue to black while in standby mode; in hibernate mode it will be off.
•Brightness: Check and adjust the brightness of the display by pressing the key combinations <Fn><F4> or <Fn><F5>.
•Display Choice: Press the key combination <Fn><F1> to ensure that the computer is not set to “External Only” display.
•Use only the AC adapter that shipped with your laptop.
