Operation Manual

Why do I need to reinstall my USB device even though I have already done it?
If the device is not operated on the same USB port as the one it was installed in,
it automatically receives a new identifier. The operating system then treats it like
a new device and tries to reinstall it.
Use the installed driver or connect the device to the port on which it was
originally installed.
The screen is black.
This fault can have various causes:
The operating light (on/off switch) does not light up and the Notebook is in
hibernation.
Solution:

The sleep light is flashing. The Notebook is in sleep mode.
Solution:
Press the on/off switch.
The background lighting has been disabled using the Fn+F2 keyboard
shortcut.
Solution:
Reactivate the background lighting by pressing any key.
The notebook will not switch on.
` If the notebook is in battery mode, connect the notebook to the AC adapter and
check that the battery is charged or being charged.
` If you are already operating the notebook using the AC adapter, disconnect the
adapter plugfrom the outlet and connect an electrical appliance such as a lamp
to the same outlet to test it. If the lamp does not work either, seek the advice of
an electrician.
The Notebook turns itself off during operation.
` The battery may be fully discharged. Plug the Notebook in using the AC adapter
and charge the battery.
The Notebook cannot be switched on.

inserted correctly and are fully charged.
