Troubleshooting Your computer has been fully tested and complies with the system specifications before shipping. However, incorrect operations and/or mishandling may cause problems. This chapter provides a reference for identifying and correcting common hardware and software problems that you may encounter. When you encounter a problem, you should first try to go through the recommendations in this chapter.
• • • • • • Be sure all the device drivers are installed properly. For example, without the audio driver properly installed, the speakers and microphone will not work. If external devices such as USB camera, scanner, printer do not function correctly when connected to the system, it is usually the device’s own problem. Consult the device’s manufacturer first. Some software programs, which have not gone through rigorous coding and testing, may cause problems during your routine use.
After Click OK button, the recording volume control panel will appear. Go to [Start > Settings > Control Panel] and double-click the Multimedia icon (or Sounds and Audio Devices icon). In the Volume or Audio page, make sure that the audio codec mentioned in the spec is the default recording device.
The hard disk takes longer to read a file • • If you have been using the drive for a period, the files may be fragmented. Go to [Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Defragmenter] to perform a disk defragmentation. This operation may take a while. Interrupt requests or problems with other hardware devices may have occupied the CPU and therefore slows down the system performance. The files are corrupted • Run the Error-checking utility in Windows to check the HDD.
Display Problems The display panel is blank when the system is turned on • Make sure the computer is not in the Standby or Hibernate suspend modes. The display is turned off to conserve energy in these modes. The screen is difficult to read • The display resolution should at least be set to at least 1280x800 for optimal viewing. ¾ Go to [Start > Settings > Control Panel] and double-click the Display icon.
CMOS Battery Problem A message “CMOS Checksum Failure” displays during the booting process or the time (clock) resets when booting • • Try to reboot the system. If the message “CMOS Checksum Failure” appears during the booting procedure even after rebooting, it may indicate failure of the CMOS battery. If so, you need to replace the battery. This battery normally lasts two to five years. The battery is of type CR2032 (3V). Send the battery to the dealer for replacement.
• Consult the card’s manual or contact the vendor for troubleshooting. The PC card cannot be recognized • • • • • Make sure the card is fully inserted; the outer end of the card should be even with the edge of the computer. Remove and insert the PC card again. Make sure there is no IRQ conflict with the card. See Windows on-line help for solving IRQ conflicts. Reboot the computer and see if the problem persists. The card may be defective. Try the card on another system, if possible.
