Problem: The screen stays on even after you turn off your computer.

Solution: Press and hold the power button for four seconds or more to turn off your computer; then turn it on again.

Problem: Missing, discolored, or bright dots appear on the screen every time you turn on your computer.

Solution: This is an intrinsic characteristic of the TFT technology. Your computer display contains multiple thin-film transistors (TFTs). A small number of missing, discolored, or bright dots on the screen might exist all the time.

External monitor problems

Problem: The external monitor is blank.

Solution: To bring up the image, press F6 and select the desired monitor. If the problem persists, do the following:

1.Connect the external monitor to another computer to make sure that it works.

2.Reconnect the external monitor to your computer.

3.Refer to the manual shipped with the external monitor to check the resolutions and refresh rates that are supported.

If the external monitor supports the same resolution as the computer display or a higher resolution, view output on the external monitor or on both the external monitor and the computer display.

If the external monitor supports a lower resolution than the computer display, view output on the external monitor only. (If you view output on both the computer display and the external monitor, the external monitor screen will be blank or distorted.)

Problem: You cannot set a higher resolution than the present one on your external monitor. Solution:

Make sure that the monitor information is correct. Do the following:

1.Right-click on the desktop, and click Screen resolution.

Note: If your computer cannot detect the external monitor, click the Detect button.

2.Click the icon for the desired monitor (the Monitor-2icon is for the external monitor).

5.Make sure that the correct device driver name is shown in the adapter information window.

Check the monitor type and, if necessary, update the driver by doing the following:

1.Connect the external monitor to the monitor connector, and then connect the monitor to an electrical outlet.

3.Right-click on the desktop, and click Screen resolution.

Note: If your computer cannot detect the external monitor, click the Detect button.
