Peripherals
(Printers and other Input/Output devices)
Equipment connected to your notebook does not work.
– Do you have the correct cable?
– Has the equipment been set up correctly according to the manufacturers
setup guide?
– Has the equipment been started up correctly?
– Have any switches on the inside or the outside of the equipment been
incorrectly set?
– Has your notebook been set up to recognise the equipment?
– Has your software been configured to use the equipment? If it needs a
special driver, has the driver been installed correctly?
– Does the equipment work on another notebook, which has been configured
exactly the same?
– Is the brightness turned up, and other controls adjusted correctly?
– If initially OK but when you re-boot it is unreadable, the refresh rate or
resolution has been setup incorrectly by the system software. Try setting to
a lower resolution.
The screen "freezes" and you cannot enter information.
– Is the application waiting for a particular action or command?
– Is the application looking for something - such as a disk, which has not
been inserted in the floppy disk drive?
– Does the same software function work on another notebook?
– Resetting your notebook. If you cannot “unlock” the screen, press
<Ctrl/Alt/Del> twice in succession. If this does not work, press, and hold,
the power switch for five seconds. Depress the power switch again to
restart the system. However, work that you have not saved will be lost.
