If the cursor keys do not work properly, the num lock

function may be on. When num lock is on, the numeric/

arrow keys on the numeric keypad work only as numbers.

Check to see if the

Num Lock

indicator in the upper right

corner of the keyboard is lit; if it is, press the

Num Lock

key

to turn off the function.

If you want to change the initial setting of the num lock

function when you turn on the computer, see “Using the
Keyboard and Speaker Options” in Chapter 2.

If nothing happens when you type on the keyboard, see
“The Computer Does Not Respond,” above.

Monitor Problems

For monitor problems, check the following:

1.

If there is no display on the screen, check that the monitor’s
power switch is on and that the power light on the monitor

is lit. If the power light is on but you still do not see

anything on the screen, check the monitor’s brightness and

contrast controls.

2.

Did you run the SNOOZE utility? Your screen may be just

temporarily blank. Press any key to display the current image

(or activity). If you still see nothing, see the instructions for

using the SNOOZE program in Appendix A.

3.

If the power switch is on but the power light is not, turn off
the monitor’s power, wait five seconds, and turn the power
back on. Wait to see if the screen displays any text.

4.

If the monitor’s power light still does not come on, check
the electrical outlet for power. Turn off your monitor and

unplug it from the wall outlet. Plug a lamp into the wall

outlet and turn it on to see if the outlet supplies power.
