page 50.
ƒ If a user password is set, enter the correct password and press Enter.
ƒ If the user password prompt does not appear, the brightness level
might be set to minimum brightness. Adjust the brightness level by
pressing Fn + F11.
ƒ If the screen still remains blank, make sure that:
- The battery is installed correctly.
- The AC adapter is connected to the computer and the power cord is
plugged into a working electrical outlet.
- The computer power is on. (Press the Power button again for
confirmation.)
ƒ If these items are properly set, and the screen remains blank, have the
computer serviced.
