Troubleshooting Your Notebook

Infrared problems

By default, the infrared port is not enabled, so you must enable it before you can use it.

If you have problems with infrared communications

Make sure the line between the two infrared ports is not blocked, and that the ports face each other as squarely as possible. (The notebook infrared port is located on the front of the notebook.) The ports should be no more than 1 meter apart.

Check settings in the Device Manager:

1.Select Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > System.

2.On the Hardware tab, select Device Manager and expand the infrared devices. Select the infrared port and make sure that the device is enabled.

Make sure only one application is using the infrared port.

Don’t touch the TouchPad while the notebook is rebooting or resuming from Standby mode. If this happens, try the following: press a key on the keyboard to restore normal operation.
