Things you must remember before working on your computer Let your computer acclimate itself Your notebook can easily stand temperature extremes but it doesn’t like rapid changes in temperature, like going from the cold outdoors to a warm office. Rapid changes in temperature can cause water droplets to condense inside your case, threatening to damage the electronic parts inside.
Suitable place to work Your computer will run well wherever you’re comfortable but extremes of temperature and humidity can be challenging to your system’s parts. There are some things you can tolerate that the computer can’t – things like static electricity, dust, water, steam and oil. In case you decide to pull over for roadside computing, try to choose a clean, comfortable work area for your system. A lithium-ion battery pack will be available when you are traveling.

Connecting to a Power Source Connecting the AC Adapter A universal AC adapter is provided to supply your computer with power and also charge the computer’s battery pack. The adapter’s AC input voltage can range anywhere from 100 to 240 volts, covering the standard voltages available in almost every country. The power cord for the AC adapter requires a three-hole grounded AC outlet. To connect the computer to an external power source: 36 1.
The best kind of AC power source to connect your Notebook to is a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply). Lacking this, use a power strip with a built-in surge protector. Do not use inferior extension cords as this may result in damage to your Notebook. The Notebook comes with its own AC adapter. Do not use a different adapter to power the computer and other electrical devices. Whenever possible, keep the AC adapter plugged into the Notebook and an electrical outlet to recharge the battery.
Operating on Battery Power Your computer comes with a rechargeable battery pack that lets you operate the computer without an external power source. When the battery pack is fully charged, you can operate the computer for approximately 2 hours under the following conditions: • The battery pack initially has a full charge. • No peripheral devices are installed. • The disk/DVD-ROM drives run no more than 10% of the time. Only use batteries that are approved by an authorized dealer for this model only.
grooves in the system case. 3. Gently lower the battery into the bay and push it until it clicks securely in the bay. To remove the battery pack: 1. Turn off the notebook, and disconnect the AC adapter. Close the LCD panel and turn it over and place it on a solid, flat surface. 2. Lift the release latch to release the battery from the bay. At this time the battery will now be angled slightly out of the bay. 3. Hold the battery at the finger grip and lift it out of the compartment.

This chapter describes locating and solving problems that you may encounter while using your computer. Locating a Problem Problems with your computer can be caused by something as minor as an unplugged power cord – or as major as a damaged hard disk. The information in this chapter is designed to help you find and solve minor problems. If you try all the suggested solutions and you still have a problem, make a list of what steps you have taken to correct the problem and contact your dealer.
2. If you are using the Notebook with the AC adapter, check the power outlet, the power cord, and any power switches that may affect your computer. • • • • • 3. With the computer’s power switched off, check all cable connections. If the computer is connected to any peripheral devices, look for loose or disconnected cables. • • 4. Check the wall outlet or power strip with an item that you know is functioning properly. A lamp or radio is a convenient item for checking the power.
A few seconds after you turn on your computer, a copyright message appears on your display screen. A memory test message appears next; as the test continues, memory size increases until all installed memory is tested. Normally, the only test routine visible on the screen will be the memory test. Two classifications of malfunctions can be detected during the POST: • Error messages that indicate a failure with either the hardware, the software, or the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS).
Problem: Failure in the installation of the Audio driver. Solution: Be sure to first remove the current audio device from your system. Please follow the instruction on the installation of audio driver. Problem: The display screen is dark Solution: Make sure that the computer is not in Suspend mode. Check the Brightness controls for the screen. If the controls are turned too far down, the screen will be dark. Problem: An incorrect date and time are displayed.
Solution: Check that a CD is properly inserted in the drive. Make sure that you are using the correct program for that kind of CD. For example, the system cannot read a data CD using an audio program. Problem: You cannot operate the printer. Solution: Check the printer cable connection. Ensure that the printer power switch is turned on. Confirm that the printer is on-line. Problem: You can’t save data to disk. Solution: Ensure that the disk has been formatted.
Contacting Your Dealer If you still have a problem after reading the preceding sections, the next step is to contact your dealer. Your dealer can determine if the problem is something that requires the computer to be taken to the shop. Before you call your dealer, however, prepare the following information: • How is your computer configured? Your dealer needs to know what peripheral devices you are using.
