Introduction

This appendix describes basic operating problems, the probable causes, and recommended
corrective actions.

VersaView Integrated Display Computer problems

If you are having problems during boot-up:

„

Check that the VersaView Computer is plugged in securely.

„

Check that the VersaView Computer is receiving power.

„

Check that there is not a diskette in the floppy drive (the system normally boots from
the hard drive).

„

Check for any errors displayed during the Power On Self Test (POST).

„

Refer to the VersaView 6181P Integrated Display Computers User Manual for
additional diagnostic and troubleshooting information.

If you are having problems with the computer hardware during operation:

„

Check that there is clean power supplied to the VersaView Computer. Although the
computer has a regulated and protected power supply, a transient voltage in the power
line or peripheral cable may cause a flickering display, unexpected reboots, or a
locked up system.

„

If the problem is intermittent, you may have a loose connection. Check all internal
VersaView Computer connections.

„

Are the display contrast and brightness controls properly adjusted? Refer to the
operating system containing the video driver for setup functions.

„

Refer to the VersaView 6181P Integrated Display Computers User Manual for
additional diagnostic and troubleshooting information.

It may be necessary to connect a keyboard and mouse to the computer to assist in
troubleshooting problems.
