Troubleshooting
The display goes blank by
itself after you have been
using it.
The power management time-
outs may be set for very short
intervals and you failed to
notice the display come on
and go off again.
Press any button or key on the keyboard, or move the
mouse to restore operation. If that fails, push the
Power and Suspend/Resume button. (The display
may be shut off by Standby Mode, Auto Suspend or
Video Timeout.)
The Built-in Display does
not close.
A foreign object, such as a
paper clip, is stuck between the
display and the keyboard.
Remove all foreign objects from the keyboard.
The Built-in Display has
bright or dark spots.
If the spots are very tiny and
few in number, this is normal
for a large LCD display.
This is normal; do nothing.
If the spots are numerous or
large enough to interfere with
your operation needs.
Display is faulty; contact your support representative.
The application display
uses only a portion of your
screen and is surrounded
by a dark frame.
You are running an
application that does not
support 800 x 600 pixel
resolution display and display
compression is enabled.
Display compression gives a clearer but smaller
display for applications that do not support 800 x
600 pixel resolution. You can fill the screen but have
less resolution by changing your display compres-
sion setting, (See the Video Features submenu,
located within the Advanced menu of the BIOS.)
(See BIOS Setup Utility on page 35 for more informa-
tion)
