Things you must remember before working on your computer Let your computer acclimate itself Your notebook can easily stand temperature extremes but it doesnt 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. After receiving your notebook when its hot or cold outside, try not to power up the computer immediately, let the computer adjust to the room temperature gradually at least for three to four hours. If your system arrives in cold weather, do not apply power to the computer or monitor until they have been allowed to come to room temperature. 7 Heat, Cold, Humidity, and Glare Find a suitable place for your computer thats not too hot, too cold, too dark, or too bright. Glare can make it hard to read the screen. Try to avoid the computer components from being destroyed if it is over heated, so try to allow plenty of room for air to circulate around the case. Do not block the ventilation opening. Do not place your computer in direct sunlight. Suitable place to work Your computer will run well wherever youre comfortable but extremes of temperature and humidity can be challenging to your systems parts. There are some things you can tolerate that the computer cant 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. If you are running your system for the first time on battery power, remove the battery from the package, install it into the system and recharge the battery to fully prepare for service. 8 INTRODUCTION Welcome to the Notebook PC Congratulations on your purchase of the Notebook PC.

To change the switch setting, (a) eject the card, (b) change the switch setting, and (c) re-insert the card. Always disconnect all telephone lines from the wall outlet before servicing or disassembling this equipment. To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunication line cord. Power Saving Modes This section contains information on the Notebooks power system, including the AC Adapter, the battery system, recharging the battery, and tips for conserving battery power. The power system is comprised of two parts, the AC Adapter and the battery system. The AC Adapter converts AC power from a wall outlet to the DC power required by the computer. The Battery Power System A fully charged pack will provide approximately 2.5 hours (Prescott 2.8GHz CPU, power saving mode runs battery mark 4.0.1) of battery life depending on your system configuration application it runs. Before using the computer on battery power for the first time, check the battery status icon on the Windows Toolbar to make sure the battery is fully charged. See Battery Status later in this section for a description and explanation of the Windows Battery icon. Charging the battery takes about 4 hours to charge when the system is in off state. If possible, always charge the battery completely. Removing the Battery Pack To remove the battery pack from its compartment, please refer to Chapter Three, Inserting and Removing the Battery Pack. 28 Preparing the Battery Pack for Use Before using the battery pack for the first time, the Smart Battery IC within the battery pack should be calibrated in order to get accurate reporting of remaining battery life status. To calibrate the battery pack follows the instructions below:
1. Insert the battery into the battery compartment and turn on the Notebook. If the battery is completely without power go to the next step. Otherwise, let the battery run down until the battery low-low warning beeps are heard. The system will automatically enter Suspend mode. 2. Turn the Notebook off. Connect the AC adapter and let the battery fully recharge. When the battery charge indicator turns off, the battery is fully charged. 3. Turn On the notebook, let the battery run down until the battery is in low-low state and you hear a warning beeps. The system will automatically enter the Suspend mode. You can now connect the AC adapter. 4. The battery pack is now calibrated properly. In general, using the battery until the low-low battery-warning indicator appears and fully recharges the battery each time (full discharge/charge cycle) will ensure the accurate reporting of the battery gauge status. Automatic Battery Pack Charging Function You can automatically charge the battery pack by using the AC Adapter. The charge time is about three hours when the Notebook power is turned off. The following table summarizes the charging modes:
Charge Mode Fast Pre-Charge Charge Time 4 hours with the system off or in Suspend mode. The temperature must be 25C or below room temperature. A pre-charge is supplied to the Li-Ion battery pack. 29 Battery Status Windows XP has an applet in the Control Panel that will display an icon in the Windows taskbar indicating when the Notebook is running on battery power or is attached to the AC adapter. This applet also displays a meter that indicates how much charge is remaining in the battery. Battery Low Warning When the pack initially reaches the Battery Low state approximately 10
~ 15 minutes of the usable battery life is left. You will hear an audible beep signal every 1.5 seconds alerting you to the Battery Low status. When the battery power reaches the Battery Low Low status the beeping sound will accelerate. Your battery now has 1 ~ 2 minutes of battery charge remaining. You must save your data or connect AC power immediately; otherwise, you may lose your data. Sound Continuous beeping every 1.5 seconds Beeping accelerates Meaning Battery Low: Indicates that there is 10 to15 minutes charge remaining. Battery Low Low: Indicates that there is 1 to 2 minutes of battery charge remaining. Save your work and turn off the Notebook, or connect the AC adapter. When there is only one minute of battery charge remaining, the Notebook will suspend to the HDD and power off. You should connect AC power and resume to save your work. Small Battery for the Real Time Clock There is a small built-in battery pack that supplies power to the system in order to maintain certain system information while the power is off. If the Notebook is left without a power source for long period of time, this battery will be exhausted and system information will be lost. Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions. 30 Never remove the battery pack while the power is on as this may result in data loss when the system loses power. Resetting the System After installing a software application package, you may be prompted to reset the system to load the changed operating environment. To reset the system, or reboot, press the [Ctrl] + [Alt] + [Delete] keys simultaneously. This is known as warm boot.

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. Successful troubleshooting is the result of careful observation, deductive reasoning, and an organized approach to solving the problem. The problems that you will encounter can be divided into two basic categories: hardware problems and software problems. Hardware problems can be further divided into electrical and mechanical problems. You will know you have a hardware problem if the screen is dark, the computer cannot read the disk drives, or you get an error message during the Power-On Self Test (POST). Software errors can occur at several levels. The ROM BIOS and the operating system can give you a large number of error messages. On top of this, each application software package has its own set of error messages. It is important to determine whether the software error message you are getting is from the application or the operating system. Once you know this, you can look in the respective manual for a solution to the problem. 71 Checking Cables and Connections Start by performing a careful visual inspection of the exterior of the computer. If no LEDs are illuminated, make sure that your computer and its peripherals are getting power and communicating with each other properly. To check the power cables, and connections:
1. If you have been using battery power, connect the Notebook to an external power source and make sure that the battery has a charge. 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. 2. 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. You may also need to check the fuses and breakers in your electric box. If the outlet is controlled by a wall switch, make sure that the switch is on. If the outlet is controlled by a dimmer switch, use a different outlet. If your computer is plugged into a power strip with an On/Off switch, make sure the switch is on. 3. With the computers power switched off, check all cable connections. If the computer is connected to any peripheral devices, look for loose or disconnected cables. If the computer is too close to a wall, a cable connection may be loose or the cables may be crimped. Do not substitute cables for different devices (other than the manufacturer recommended cables) even if they look exactly alike. The wiring inside the cable may be different. 4. When you are certain that you have power available and all connections are good, turn the computer on again. If the computer still does not start, you may have a hardware problem. 72 The Power-On Self Test The Power-On Self Test (POST) runs every time you turn on or reset the Notebook. The POST checks memory, the main system board, the display, the keyboard, the disk drives, and other installed options. 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). These critical malfunctions prevent the computer from operating at all or could cause incorrect and apparent results. An example of a critical error is microprocessor malfunction. Messages that furnish important information on the power-on and boot processes (such as memory status). These non-critical malfunctions are those that cause incorrect results that may not be readily apparent. An example of a non-critical error would be a memory chip failure. In general, if the POST detects a system board failure (a critical error), the computer halts and generates a series of beeps. If failure is detected in an area other than the system board (such as the display, keyboard, or an adapter card) an error message is displayed on the screen and testing is stopped. It is important to remember that the POST does not test all areas of the computer, only those that allow it to be operational enough to run diagnostic programs. If your system does not successfully complete the POST, but displays a blank screen, emits a series of beeps, or displays an error code, consult your dealer. General Hardware Problems A few common hardware problems and suggested solutions are presented in the table below:
Problem: The capacity of the battery is between 95 to 99% but can not fully charged. 73 Solution: Please discharged to less than 95% of its capacity then recharge the battery. 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.
