About the display

My LCD does not display anything

❑Check that the computer and display are both plugged into a power source and that they are turned on.

❑Check that the power indicator on the front panel of the computer is on.

❑Check that the battery packs are inserted properly and that they are charged.

❑Adjust the brightness of the LCD.

❑The computer may be in LCD (video) standby mode. Press any key to activate the display.

❑The display mode may be set to external display mode. Press and hold the <Fn> key while pressing <F7> several times.

The screen image on my external display is not centered or sized properly

Use the controls on your external display to adjust the image.

The window I have just closed continues to appear on my LCD

Press the <Windows®> key and <D> key twice to refresh the screen.

The video image on my screen is too dark

If an external display is connected to the monitor connector, disconnect the display.

I cannot display MOTION EYE movies, DVD videos or finder images simultaneously on my notebook LCD display and on an external display

You cannot display those images on both displays. Please select just one display.
