Display

My display doesn’t work, even though the computer appears to work.

Make sure that the power cord is securely plugged into the display.

Make sure that the display is turned on — it has its own power button.

Make sure that your power cord is plugged into a grounded three-prong outlet. Check to see whether the outlet works by plugging another item (such as a lamp) into the outlet. (If the light on the front of the display is lit, it is getting power. Try the next item on this list.)

Check the cable connection between the display and the computer. The cable connectors must be pushed in all the way.

Adjust the brightness and contrast controls on the display. (The information may be there, but you just can’t see it.)

Fax and Phone

I can’t dial out.

Check to make sure that a telephone cable connects from the back of the computer to the wall. The cable must be plugged into the Line socket on the computer (see illustration on page 28). The other socket is there to plug in a phone if you want to.

I can’t correct typing mistakes when dialing a phone number in Intel Connect.

The Backspace key doesn’t do anything here. If you misdial a number, you must hang up and start over.
