PROBLEM
P (C )
OWER ONTINUED
The display goes black while the
Tablet PC is still turned on.
B
ATTERY
Data loss during battery swap.
The battery seems to run down
very quickly (lasting less than
three hours after a full charge).
D
ISPLAY
The desktop is too big for the
display – I can't see all of the
desktop icons.
When I disconnected a second
monitor from the Tablet PC, the
image became too big for the
Tablet PC display.
The display looks dim.
CAUSE
The Tablet PC system has gone
into Stand By after sitting idle for a
period of time. (In this state, the
power LED flashes green.)
System has gone into low-battery
Hibernation. (In this state, the
power LED is off.)
The unit is designed to maintain
the data and settings for up to 30
seconds in Stand By while you
swap the battery. This time may
vary due to your system and the
programs you're running.
Accessory devices such as a DVD
player and applications that make
heavy use of the hard drive drain
the battery more quickly.
The battery is weakening or
defective.
Screen resolution is set higher
than the default 1024 x 768 with
32-bit resolution.
The Tablet PC has attempted to
spread the image of a window or
desktop beyond the screen area
of the active monitor.
Brightness is set too low.
