Basic Hints and Tips

Many of the following may seem obvious but they are often the solution to a problem when your computer ap-
pears not to be working.

Power - Is the computer actually plugged into a working electrical outlet? If plugged into a power strip,

make sure it is actually working. Check the LED Power & Communication Indicators (see

“LED Indica-

tors” on page 1 - 9

) to see the computer’s power status.

Connections - Check all the cables to make sure that there are no loose connections anywhere.

Power Savings - Make sure that the system is not in Hibernate or Sleep mode by pressing the keys config-

ured in your Power Options (see

“Power-Saving States” on page 3 - 7

), the Fn + F4 key combination, or

power button to wake-up the system.

Brightness - Check the brightness of the screen by pressing the Fn + F8 and F9 keys to adjust the bright-

ness.

Display Choice - Press Fn + F7 to make sure the system is not set to “external only” display.

Boot Drive - Make sure there are no optical media and/or USB storage devices in any connected drive.
