Problem: Ripple on screen
Troubleshooting and problem resolution:
1. Check for devices located less than one meter from the computer such as
refrigerators, electric fans, electric dryers, UPSs, regulators, fluorescent lamps
or other computers that may be generating magnetic interference.
2. Move any interfering devices away from the computer.
3. If the problem persists, consult with Lenovo Service.

5.2 Troubleshooting audio problems

Problem: When you connect the headphones to the front audio output connector,
the speakers connected to the back audio output connector are silenced.
Troubleshooting and problem resolution:
The front audio output connector is provided for convenience and has a priority
higher than the back audio output connector. If a speaker or headphones are
connected to the front audio output connector, sound is delivered through those
devices and any devices connected to the rear connector become silenced.
