Quickly
If you encounter minor problems with your Notebook, display,
or software, refer to the following list of general suggestions
before taking further action:
• Ensure that your Notebook is plugged into the AC adapter and
that the adapter is plugged into a working electrical outlet.
• Ensure that your Notebook is turned on and the
Power light or icon is lit.
• Adjust the brightness and contrast controls of the display.
• Remove any diskettes from the diskette drive before turning
on your Notebook.
To help you find a solution quickly, most of the information in
this chapter is divided into three columns:
1. Symptom—describes the symptom or warning that indicates
a problem.
2. Problem—identifies one or more reasons why the
symptom occurred.
3. Solution—describes how you should try to fix the problem.
If the listed solution does not fix your problem, try another
solution for the symptom or try the solution a second time.
If a problem persists and you can't resolve it, contact a Compaq
Authorized Service Provider. Refer to your Warranty Statement
