Is The Notebook Overheating; Is An External Device Not Working - HP L2000 Getting Started Manual

Troubleshooting

Is the notebook overheating?

It is normal for the notebook to feel warm to the touch while it is in use. But if
the notebook feels extremely warm, it may be overheating because a vent is
blocked.
If you suspect that overheating could be causing the problem, allow the
notebook to cool to room temperature. Then be sure to keep all vents free
from obstructions while you are using the notebook.

Is an external device not working?

If an external device does not function as expected:
Turn on the device as instructed in the device documentation. Some

devices, such as monitors and printers, must be turned on before the
notebook is turned on.
Verify that
