Ports and connectors

The C5 is in the docking station, but the system does not recognize any accessory devices, such as the external disk drive or monitor

The C5 may not be fully seated in the docking station. Remove the unit from the docking station and then replace it.

Network

The wireless adapter keeps connecting even when I do not want it to

The wireless adapter is enabled. You can use Motion Dashboard to disable the wireless adapter. See “Enabling or disabling Wi-Fi” on page 43.

Audio

No sound is coming from the speakers

The volume may be set too low or muted. You can use Motion Dashboard to increase the volume or turn mute off.

The integrated audio components may have been overwritten. If you install a third- party audio device (such as a USB or Bluetooth device), the integrated audio may stop working. If this happens, reinstall the SigmaTel and Knowles Acoustics audio drivers. If you still have problems after reinstalling the drivers, contact Motion Technical Support.

System

I forgot my BIOS password and cannot access my computer

You can enter several incorrect passwords before the BIOS temporarily locks the system. You can try again by restarting the system. If you still cannot log on, contact Motion Computing Technical Support at www.motioncomputing.com/support.

An application has stopped responding, but I can still move the pointer and use other applications

Use Task Manager to manually stop the application. (Press the Windows Security button and tap Task Manager.) See Windows Help and Support for more information.

The computer seems to be operating more slowly than usual

The hard disk drive may be full or nearly full. You can use Disk Cleanup to free up space on the hard drive. For more information, open Windows Help and Support and search for “disk cleanup”.

The hard disk may need to be defragmented. You can use Disk Defragmenter to consolidate files and folders on the hard drive. For more information, open Windows Help and Support and search for “disk defragmenter”.
