Power Management Tips
If you find that an application exhibits unexpected behavior (such as
reduced video quality) after returning from a reduced power
consumption mode, you should close that application before your
computer enters a power-saving mode.
For maximum audio and video performance, use PowerPanel to
select either the AC Power Profile or the Power Management Off
profile.
If your battery level falls to less than 10 percent, you should either
attach the AC adapter to recharge the battery or shut down your
computer and insert a fully charged battery.
If Your Computer Does Not Start
Check that the computer is plugged into a power source and that it is
turned on. Check that the power indicator on the front panel of the
computer indicates that the power is on.
Check that the battery is inserted properly and that it is charged.
Make sure there is no diskette in the floppy disk drive.
Confirm that the AC adapter and all cables are connected firmly, as
described in "Connecting Peripheral Devices" in the V AIO C1
PictureBook Computer User Guide that came with your computer.
If you plugged the computer into a power strip or UPS, make sure the
power strip or UPS is turned on and working.
If you are using an external display, check that it is plugged into a
power source and turned on. Check that the brightness control is
adjusted correctly. See the manual that came with your display for
details.
