Troubleshooting

If Files Are Corrupted

■Open My Computer, and the disk you want to scan. Select File > Properties. Select the Check Now box under the Error-checking section of the Tools tab.

■Run the virus-scanning program.

■If necessary, you can format the hard disk and reinstall the original factory software using the system recovery features described in the “Troubleshooting” chapter of this guide.

Heat Problems

Your notebook normally gets warm during routine operation.

If the Notebook Gets Abnormally Hot

■Always set the notebook on a flat surface, so that air can flow freely around and underneath it.

■Make sure the air vents on the bottom and sides of the notebook are clear.

■Keep in mind that games and other programs that drive CPU usage toward 100 percent can increase the notebook temperature.

Infrared Problems

By default, the optional infrared port is enabled, so you must enable it before you can use it.

If You Have Problems with Infrared

Communications

■Make sure the line of sight between the 2 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.
