Troubleshooting

Solving Basic Problems

If you need to recover the online User’s Guide

∙If you have deleted the online User’s Guide but would like to access it, you can restore it from the Recovery CD-ROM.

Run: omnibook\hputil\disk1\setup.exe.

If the OmniBook doesn’t turn on with a fresh battery

∙If you replaced the battery after the OmniBook turned off due to a low battery, either plug in the ac adapter—or turn off the OmniBook, then hold F4 and press the On/Off key (F4+ON) to turn it on.

If your password doesn’t work

∙Check whether Num Lock is off. Try changing it.

∙If you’ve forgotten your password, have your OmniBook at hand and call Hewlett-Packard at the phone number in the Service and Support booklet.

If the OmniBook beeps repeatedly

∙If two beeps occur every 10 seconds or so, battery power is critically low and less than 2 minutes of operation remain. Plug in the ac adapter—or turn off the OmniBook and insert a fresh battery.

If the computer seems slow

∙Check that Cache is enabled (in the System Configuration Utility, open the System menu and check Enable Cache).

∙You might need to install more RAM. The memory-expansion boards are HP part numbers F1167A (8 MB), F1168A (16 MB), and F1169A (32 MB).

If you cannot install Windows NT 3.51

∙In the System Configuration Utility, under the System menu, Boot Devices, enable the checkbox Force PCI Bridge Configuration.
