- Battery pack is defective, call the service number listed on your “Read-Me-First” sheet for
details on ordering a replacement battery.
Problem: System won’t suspend to disk.
Action: - Suspend to disk is not enabled in the power management setup. Using the ‘Fn’ + ‘F8’
key combination, enter the Power Management setup screen and change the selection for
“Suspend to” from Suspend-to-RAM to select Suspend-to-DISK.
- There is no partition for suspending to disk, or the partition is too small to suspend to disk. Use
the PHDisk utility (in the C:\DRIVERS\PHOENIX directory on the hard drive) to check for the
presence of a disk partition. If you don’t find one, refer to page B-18 for information about
setting up a Suspend –to-Disk partition.
Problem: Resume from disk error message.
Action: - The most common cause of this error comes from using more than one hard disk with
the WinBook. If you suspend to disk, you must always power the system back up with the disk
that was in the WinBook when it was put Suspend mode.
- The suspend-to-disk partition has somehow become corrupted. You can use the
PHDISK/REFORMAT command to reformat the partition.
- There is a bad sector on the hard disk, causing you to lose information when you enter suspend
mode. Try using the PHDISK/REFORMAT command to reformat the partition. PHDISK will
automatically map out bad sectors if they are found.
Problem: Battery charge LED never stops flashing.
Action: - Ambient temperature is too hot for the battery to completely charge.
- Battery is not correctly inserted, or the contacts are broken. You can check by removing battery
from compartment and examining the contacts in the computer, to see if they are broken or bent.
- Battery pack is defective, call the service number listed on your “Read-Me-First” sheet for
details on ordering a replacement battery.
- The battery charge circuit inside the WinBook is defective. Call the service number listed on
your “Read-Me-First” sheet for further instructions.
Problem: Battery fuel gauge indicator icon is inaccurate.
Action: - The battery fuel gauge is a rough approximation of the actual battery capacity and is
highly dependent on the amount of energy you are using. As with an automobile, the heavier you
are on the accelerator, the fewer miles you can travel before you hit Empty. Likewise, the more
you use the WinBook’s power-hungry devices (hard disk, floppy disk, or display) the less time
you’ll have on the gauge. Note that we have set the fuel gauge to reflect an average user profile,
with power management set to the default settings. If you have power management disabled, the
