•Reset the device. After a reset, the screen remains blank for approximately 3 seconds after pressing the power button.

Display is Difficult to See in Dark Rooms

Use hp settings to adjust the display brightness for optimal viewing. (Refer to “Adjusting Settings” in chapter 6). In very bright light, select the Outdoor profile in hp settings. In very dark conditions, select the Low Power profile. In a dark room, you may also need to turn on the backlight or position a lamp so that the light shines directly on the screen. Use hp settings to set the backlight to come on automatically in dark conditions.
