91 - Troubleshooting
The application display 
uses only a portion of your 
screen and is surrounded 
by a dark frame.
You are running a pro-
gram that does not sup-
port the system’s native 
pixel resolution and dis-
play compression is 
enabled.
Display compression gives a clearer but smaller display for appli-
cations that do not support the system’s native pixel resolution. 
You can fill the screen but have less resolution by changing dis-
play compression settings. These settings can be changed in the 
Intel GMA control panel.
The display is dark when on 
battery power.
Power Management is 
set on low brightness to 
save power.
Press [Fn] + [F7] to increase brightness or double-click on the bat-
tery gauge and adjust Power Control under battery settings.
