Tap the touchpad to resume from Suspend or press the power button to resume from rest. Make sure that the PC Card is inserted left side up in the PC Card slot. Check that the card is inserted fully into the slot. If you are using a PC Card modem, check the modem cable connections. A patch is provided for these cards on the Recovery CD 64 Users Manual Problem Action The System Setup settings are not retained when you turn off the computer. No sound. System/BIOS behaves erratically The CMOS battery inside the computer may need to be replaced. The CMOS battery provides power to save the system BIOS information when the computer is turned off. Normally, the CMOS battery lasts for several years. Do not attempt to open the chassis and replace this battery yourself or your warranty is void. Have an authorized the manufacturers service center replace the CMOS battery. Verify if the mute check box is checked or the volume is not turned down in the pop up menu by clicking the speaker icon of the task bar. If you caused an abnormal power interruption (i.e.. removing battery while on battery power), you may cause BIOS data corruption. Video Problems Problem Action Nothing appears on the LCD panel when you turn on the computer. Error Message when entering Power Management while in Multimonitor mode. Nothing appears on the external monitor when you switch the display to it. Only the LCD Display works when system returns from Power management mode while in Multimonitor mode. Adjust the brightness on a TFT LCD. Are you using an external monitor? If so, press <Fn+F5> to return to the LCD panel. If the secondary monitor is set to 256 colours, this error message could appear. Change the colour of the secondary monitor to high colour (16 bit). Is the monitor properly connected to the computer?
Is the monitors power cord connected to an AC wall outlet? Check the brightness and contrast controls on the monitor. Does the program appear on the LCD panel instead of the external monitor? If so, press
<Fn+F5> to switch to the monitor. Try turning the monitor off and on again. The system resets to the original BIOS setup when the system returns from the power management mode. If the Display mode, in the Advanced menu of BIOS setup is set to LCD, then only the LCD will be turned on when the system wakes up. Set the Display mode in the BIOS to Both to turn on the LCD & CRT on wakeup. Troubleshooting 65 Problem Action The external monitor displays flashes or waves. Cannot toggle between CRT and LCD while playing the 3D game. There is LCD or CRT has noise (speckles, lines or raged edges) on the picture when playing a MPEG file with the Media player/ DVD software or using the USB camera. In DOS mode the CRT/LCD button does not work. If the connected CRT monitor display is not steady. Check the cables between the monitor and the computer. Are they properly installed?
If you are using the Multimonitor mode, you can not use the <Fn+F5> key combination and also you cannot use this function in 3D games using Direct-X. Adjust the resolution and the colour to 1400 x 1050 and 32 bit to display clearly, or avoid playing two programs at the same time. The LCD only mode is not supported using this Key combination.

Screen displays random or garbage characters during communications. Reports error message that insufficient Hard Disk space is available. If your modem has difficulty in connecting to on-line services and sustaining communications, first check if other devices are connected and remove them. Also remove any extension leads. Interference from certain devices or poor line power conditions may degrade the quality of your connection. Under these conditions gradually reduce the communication speed of your modem until a reliable connection is achieved. Check with your on-line service provider. If you use a PBX phone system you may need to press a number i.e. '9' to connect to an external line, you should enter the following command before trying the connection and check modem initialization. (ATX3&W) And add 9, as the external line prefix (example) of the phone number when using the dial command ATDT9, 123-4567. After your modem has connected to the on-line service, your screen may display garbage characters or after-
images in screen transitions. This problem is caused by a mismatch of the terminal modes between communications service and communications programs. You need to match the terminal modes to each other. Refer to the user's guide of the communications program you're using. Delete the unnecessary messages or data you received by Modem or Fax every one to three months as required. If you're using the internet, many picture and data files can get downloaded to your HARD DISK every time you visit a home page, which will consume a lot of your HARD DISK space. For more detailed information about the method of deleting, refer to the help of the Web browser you've been using or your user's guide. FAX Problems:

The current at the wall outlet is alternating current and needs to be changed by the adapter to DC (direct current) before your computer can use it for power. ACPI ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface)- a method for describing hardware interfaces in terms abstract enough to allow flexible and innovative hardware implementations and concrete enough to allow shrink-wrap OS code to use such hardware interfaces. BIOS BIOS stands for basic input/output system. The BIOS is software (often called firmware) that is independent of any operating system. It enables the computer to communicate with the screen, keyboard, and other peripheral devices without using programs on the hard disk. The BIOS on your computer is flash BIOS, which means that it has been recorded on a flash memory chip that can be updated if needed. Boot To start your computer. A cold boot resets the entire computer and runs through all computer self-tests. A warm boot clears out computer memory only. Boot disk A disk containing operating system programs required to start your computer. A boot disk can be a floppy disk, hard drive, or compact disc. Byte The basic unit of measure for computer memory. A charactersuch as a letter of the alphabetuses one byte of memory. Computer memory is often measured in kilobytes (1,024 bytes) or megabytes (1,048,576 bytes). Each byte is made up of eight bits. For more information on bytes and bits, see an introductory book on computers. Cache memory Cache is very fast, zero-wait-state memory located between the microprocessor and main memory. Cache reduces the average time required by the microprocessor to get the data it needs from the main memory by storing recently accessed data in the cache. 72 Users Manual CardBus CardBus technology enables the computer to use 32-bit PC Cards. Hardware in the computer and the Windows operating system provide support for the 32-bit cards. The voltage of 32-bit cards (3.3 volts) is lower than that of 16-bit cards (5 volts). The 32-bit cards can transmit more data at a time than the 16-bit cards, thus increasing their speed. CMOS memory CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) memory is powered by the CMOS battery. The System Setup settings and other parameters are maintained in CMOS memory. Even when you turn your computer off, the information in CMOS memory is saved. COM port COM stands for communication. COM ports are the serial ports in your computer. Compact Disc A compact disc (CD). Conventional memory The first 640 KB of system memory. Operating systems and application programs can directly access this memory without using memory-management software. Disk The device used by the computer to store and retrieve information. Disk can refer to a floppy disk, hard disk, or RAM disk. Disk cache A software device that accumulates copies of recently used disk sectors in RAM. The application program can then read these copies without accessing the disk. This, in turn, speeds up the performance of the application. A cache is a buffer for transferring disk sectors in and out of RAM. Data stored in a disk cache is a copy of data already stored on the physical disk. DMA (direct memory access) A method of transferring data from a device to memory without having the data pass through the microprocessor. Using DMA can speed up system performance. DPMS Display Power Management Signalling. Displays or monitors that comply with this can be managed by the Power Management features found in the system setup. Floppy disk A removable disk, also called floppy or diskette. Glossary 73 Hard drive Also called fixed disk. A hard drive is connected to the computer and can be installed or removed. Data written to a hard drive remains until it is overwritten or corrupted. The 2.5-inch hard drive in your computer was designed for use in a notebook computer. Because hard drives in notebook computers are smaller than those in desktop computers, their maximum storage capacity may be less than that of desktop hard drives. However, because of their smaller size, the drives handle shock and vibration better than larger drives, which is important for a notebook computer. Intel SpeedStep Intel SpeedStep will control the CPU speed on your system according to the source of power. (such as AC or DC power) I/O Input/output. Refers to peripheral devices, such as printers, that are addressed through an I/O address. I/O address I/O stands for input/output. Peripheral devices, such as printers, are addressed through the I/O port address. IRQ (interrupt request line) The IRQ is a hardware line that a device uses to signal the microprocessor when the device needs the microprocessors services. The number of IRQs is limited by industry standards. LCD (liquid-crystal display) The LCD screen on your computer differs from the display screen of a desktop monitor. Most desktop monitors use CRT (cathode-ray tube) displays, which work by moving an electron beam across phosphor dots on the back of the screen. The phosphor dots light up to show the image. LCDs use a liquid-crystal solution between two sheets of polarizing material. Electric current passing through the liquid aligns the crystals so that light can or cannot pass through them, creating an image. MB (megabyte) 1,024 kilobytes. Megabit 1,048,576 bits or about 128 kilobytes. 74 Users Manual Operating system A program that supervises the computer's operation, including handling I/O. Application programs and users can request operating-system services. A user might request operation-system services to copy files or format a disk. An application program might use the operating system to obtain keyboard input, write data to a file, or write data to a screen. PC Card PC Card stands for personal computer card. The Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA) defines the standards used to develop all PC Cards. PC Card types include: modems, Ethernet adapters, SCSI adapters, ATA cards, and memory cards. PC slot The PC slot is the hardware slot in the computer where the PC Card is placed. Pixel A pixel is an individual dot in a graphic displayed on your computer. The pixels are so close together that they look as though they are connected. An LCD screen displays thousands or millions of pixels. Plug and Play A plug and play operating system automatically configures computer components to work with your system. With this type of operating system, you normally do not need to set jumpers on devices or set memory addresses or IRQs. RAM (random access memory) The computer's system memory, including conventional and extended memory. You can write to and read from RAM. Information stored in RAM is temporary, and is erased when the system is turned off. Refresh rate The refresh rate is the rate at which the image on the LCD screen is rewritten to the screen. A fast refresh rate helps keep the image from flickering. Resolution The resolution is the sharpness or clarity of the image on your LCD screen. Resolution is measured by the number of pixels the computers screen can display. For example, a resolution of 800x600 means that the screen can display 800 pixels in row and can display 600 rows. The more pixels displayed, the higher the resolution and the better the image. ROM (read-only memory) Permanent computer memory dedicated to a particular function. For example, the instructions for starting the computer when you first turn on power are contained in ROM. You cannot write to ROM. (ROM is not the same as RAM). Glossary 75 Sector Also known as disk sector. The portion of a track that is numbered and can hold a specified number of characters (usually 512 KB). Shadow RAM A write-protected area of RAM that contains a copy of the BIOS. As the computer boots, the BIOS is copied from its permanent location in ROM to RAM. The BIOS can be executed much faster in RAM than in ROM. The BIOS remains in shadow RAM until you turn off the computer. TFT (thin film transistor) LCD A TFT LCD uses a separate transistor circuit to control each pixel. This technology provides the best resolution for an LCD screen. A TFT LCD is also sometimes called an active matrix LCD. Zoomed video Zoomed video technology enables zoom video PC Card to transfer data directly from the card to video and audio systems without going through the microprocessor. This process improves video performance. Video conferencing and real-time multimedia devices, such as video cameras, are supported by zoom video. 76 Users Manual

The REN is used to determine the quantity of devices which may be connected to telephone line. Excessive RENs on the telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most, but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five(5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by total RENs, contact the local telephone company to determine the maximum REN for the calling area. If the terminal equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the Telephone Company will notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. But if advance notice is not practical, the telephone company will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is necessary. The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect the operation of the equipment. If this happens, the telephone company will provide advanced notice in order for you to make necessary modifications to maintain uninterrupted service. If trouble is experienced with this equipment (SENS Modem) for repair or warranty information, please contact your local distributor. If the equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may request that you disconnect the equipment until the problem is resolved. The user must use the accessories and cables supplied by the manufacturer to get optimum performance from the product. No repairs may be done by the customer. This equipment cannot be used on public coin phone service provided by the telephone company. Connection to party line service is subject to state tariffs. vi UsersManual The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any person to use a computer or other electronic device, including fax machines, to send any message unless such message clearly contains in a margin at the top or bottom of each transmitted page or on the first page of the transmission, the date and time it is sent and an identification of the business or other entity, or other individual sending the message and the telephone number of the sending machine or such business, other entity, or individual. (The telephone number provided may not be any number for which charges exceed local or long-distance transmission charges.) In order to program this information into your fax machine, refer to your communications software user manual. CTR21 Statement The equipment has been approved in accordance with Council Decision 98/482/EC for pan-European single terminal connection to the public switched telephone network
(PSTN). However, due to differences between the individual PSTNs provided in different countries, the approval does not, of itself, give an unconditional assurance of successful operation on every PSTN network termination point. In the event of problems, you should contact your equipment supplier in the first instance.
