Basic Hints and Tips
Many of the following may seem obvious but they are often the solution to a problem when your computer
appears 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 Indicators (see “LED
Power Indicators” on page 2 - 5 ) 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 Standby mode by pressing the
keys configured in your Power Management/Power Options (see “Conserving Power (System)”
on page 3 - 21 ), or by pressing the Fn + F4 key combination, to wake-up the system.
• Brightness - Check the brightness of the screen by pressing the Fn + F8 and F9 keys to adjust
the brightness (see “Advanced Video Controls” on page 3 - 2 ).
• Display Choice - Press Fn + F7 to make sure the system is not set to only a monitor display (see
“Function Key Combinations” on page 3 - 13 ).
• Boot Drive - Make sure there are no floppy disks in any floppy drive attached when you start up
your machine (this is a common cause of the message “Invalid system disk - Replace the disk,
and then press any key” / “Remove disks or other media. Press any key to restart”).
