FAQ and troubleshooting The chapter describes situations that you may encounter during use of the Joybook, along with basic troubleshooting steps. If you are not able to resolve the issue, contact a nearest BenQ service center for assistance immediately. Battery and power General The length of the charging time may vary. When the amber light of the battery indicator goes off, it means that the battery is fully charged.
The battery indicator on my Joybook suggests that the battery is fully charged. However, when I check it from the Power Manager in Windows, the battery level is only about 95%-99%. Why? It is the result of the battery protection design of your Joybook. When the battery indicator on your Joybook goes off, it means that the battery has reached a saturated voltage: 95%~99%.
Why does the battery on my Joybook seem to last shorter and shorter? It is normal for Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries to decline in capacity over time. Connection 4. Select the appropriate mode according to the settings of your LAN service from the Value drop-down menu on the right, and then click OK. • If the situation persists, press the + hotkey combination to disable the wireless LAN to reduce interference of different network connection modes. I have a problem setting up wireless network.
System How should I resolve the "Low on Disk Space" or "Out of Disk Space" error messages? Windows uses disk space for operations, such as caching and virtual memory. The Joybook may not run reliably if the free space of the hard disk drops under 100MB or 200MB. The following instructions will help you free up the disk space. 1. 2. 3. 4. Click Start, and then click Computer. Right-click the hard disk icon and then select Properties. Observe how much free space is on the hard disk.
6. Close the open windows to return to the desktop. 7. Open the folder created in Step 1. 8. Select the Edit and Paste commands in the folder window. The icons that were cut from the Startup folder are now placed in the folder. 9. Restart the Joybook. The programs removed from the Startup folder will no longer run when Windows starts. However, you can still run them by double-clicking their icons in the folder created in Step 1. • Empty the Recycle Bin.
Why does the keyboard and/or palm rest get warm? Typically, the Joybook tends to be warm slightly. The location of the hard disk is typically underneath the palm rest and as a result, the palm rest gets warm. The location of the processor is typically underneath the keyboard. And since the heat rises, the keyboard may get warm slightly.
Why is the hard disk capacity displayed by the OS different from its nominated capacity? You may have discovered that the capacity of a 10GB hard disk becomes 9GB when displayed from the OS, and 20GB becomes 19GB, etc. The bigger the capacity, the bigger the difference. It is because hard disk manufacturers and OS developers calculate hard disk capacity in different ways. As a result, the nominated capacity is different from the exact capacity displayed by the OS.
Why is my Joybook running so hot? Is it normal? Yes. Because all the hardware is in such cramped quarters, it tends to get hot. To prevent overheating, do not obstruct the vent. For example, do not use the Joybook in bed where a blanket may inadvertently cover the vent and block the airflow. Why does my Joybook seem to turn off itself after a certain period of inactivity? This is the default setting of the Joybook to conserve battery power. The Joybook is configured to use the power saving feature.
• Connect the VGA cable to the Joybook and reboot the system. If there is no display on the external monitor after system reboot, connect the Joybook to a standard VGA monitor, and wait until you can see things properly on that VGA monitor. Then, connect the target display to the Joybook again.
