Chapter 7 Caring for the Computer Taking good care of your computer will ensure a trouble-free operation and reduce the risk of damage to your computer. This chapter gives you guidelines covering areas such as protecting, storing, cleaning, and traveling.
Protecting the Computer To safeguard the integrity of your computer data as well as the computer itself, you can protect the computer in several ways as described in this section. Using an Anti-Virus Strategy You can install a virus-detecting program to monitor potential viruses that could damage your files.
Using the Cable Lock You can use a Kensington-type cable lock to protect your computer against theft. The cable lock is available in most computer stores. To use the lock, loop the lock cable around a stationary object such as a table. Insert the lock to the Kensington lock hole and turn the key to secure the lock. Store the key in a safe place.
Taking Care of the Computer Location Guidelines For optimal performance, use the computer where the recommended temperature is between 0°C (32°F) and 55°C (131°F) – actual operating temperature depending on product specifications. Avoid placing the computer in a location subject to high humidity, extreme temperatures, mechanical vibration, direct sunlight, or heavy dust. Using the computer in extreme environments for long periods can result in product deterioration and a shortened product life.
General Guidelines Do not place heavy objects on top of the computer when it is closed as this may damage the display. The screen surface is easily scratched. Avoid touching it with a sharp object such as a pen or pencil. LCD image sticking occurs when a fixed pattern is displayed on the screen for a prolonged period of time. You can avoid the problem by limiting the amount of static content on the display.
The battery pack is a consumable product and the following conditions will shorten its life: – when frequently charging the battery pack – when using, charging, or storing the battery in high temperature condition To avoid hastening the deterioration of the battery pack thereby prolonging its useful life, minimize the number of times you charge it so as not to frequently increase its internal temperature. Charge the battery pack between 10°C ~ 30°C (50°F ~ 86°F) temperature range.
computer in sleep or hibernation mode. – a low temperature will prolong the charging time as well as hasten the discharge time. When using battery power in an extremely low temperature environment, you may experience shortened operating time and incorrect battery level reading. This phenomenon comes from the chemical characteristics of batteries. The appropriate operating temperature for the battery is -10 °C ~ 50 °C (14 °F ~ 122 °F).
When Traveling Before traveling with your computer, make a backup of your hard disk data into flash disks or other storage devices. As an added precaution, bring along an extra copy of your important data. Make sure that the battery pack is fully charged. Make sure that the computer is turned off and the top cover is securely closed. Do not leave objects in between the keyboard and closed display. Disconnect the AC adapter from the computer and take it with you.
Chapter 8 Troubleshooting Computer problems can be caused by hardware, software, or both. When you encounter any problem, it might be a typical problem that can easily be solved. This chapter tells you what actions to take when solving common computer problems.
Preliminary Checklist Here are helpful hints to follow before you take further actions when you encounter any problem: Try to isolate which part of the computer is causing the problem. Make sure that you turn on all peripheral devices before turning on the computer. If an external device has a problem, make sure that the cable connections are correct and secure. Make sure that the configuration information is properly set in the BIOS Setup program.
Solving Common Problems Battery Problems The battery does not charge (Battery Charge indicator does not light yellow). Make sure that the AC adapter is properly connected. Make sure that the battery is not too hot or cold. Allow time for the battery pack to return to room temperature. Make sure that the battery pack is installed correctly. Make sure that the battery terminals are clean. The operating time of a fully charged battery becomes shorter.
Display Problems Nothing appears on the screen. During operation, the screen may automatically turn off as a result of power management. Press any key to see if the screen comes back. The brightness level might be too low. Increase brightness. The display output might be set to an external device. To switch the display back to the LCD, press the Fn+F5 hot key or change the display through the settings in Display Properties. The characters on the screen are dim.
Press the Fn+F5 hot key to toggle through the display options or change the settings in Display Properties in Windows. Hardware Device Problems The computer does not recognize a newly installed device. The device may not be correctly configured in the BIOS Setup program. Run the BIOS Setup program to identify the new type. Make sure if any device driver needs to be installed. (Refer to the documentation that came with the device.) Make sure if the device needs any jumper or switch settings.
Keyboard, Mouse, and Touchpad Problems The keyboard does not respond. Try connecting an external keyboard. If it works, contact an authorized dealer, as the internal keyboard cable might be loose. Water or liquid is spilt into the keyboard. Immediately turn off the computer and unplug the AC adapter. Then turn the keyboard upside down to drain the liquid out of the keyboard. Make sure to clean up any part of the spill you can get to.
Modem Problems The modem does not work. Make sure that the modem driver is correctly installed. Make sure that the telephone line is properly connected. Make sure that the COM port in the communication software is correctly set. Turn off power management. Power Management Problems The computer does not enter Sleep or Hibernation mode automatically. If you have a connection to another computer, the computer does not enter Sleep or Hibernation mode if the connection is actively in use.
You might be using a PC card that prevents the computer from entering Hibernation mode. To enter the mode, stop the communication program and then remove the card or stop the card. Software Problems An application program does not work correctly. Make sure that the software is correctly installed. If an error message appears on the screen, consult the software program’s documentation for further information. If you are sure the operation has stop, reset the computer.
Click the speaker symbol on the taskbar and check the Windows volume control. Check the volume control of your computer. Startup Problems When you turn on the computer, it does not seem to respond. Make sure that either the AC adapter is connected or the battery has power. For models with the HDD heater option: When turning on the computer in an extremely low temperature environment, the computer will heat up the hard disk before starting up.
Transmission quality is poor. Your computer may be in an out-of-range situation. Move your computer closer to the Access Point or another WLAN device it is associated with. Check if there is high interference around the environment and solve the problem as described next. Radio interference exists. Move your computer away from the device causing the radio interference such as microwave oven and large metal objects.
Reconfigure and reset the Access Point. I cannot access the network. Make sure that the necessary driver(s) is correctly installed. Make sure that the network configuration is appropriate. Make sure that the user name or password is correct. You have moved out of range of the network. Turn off power management. Other Problems The date/time is incorrect. Correct the date and time via the operating system or BIOS Setup program.
