Solution
Reset the date and time under Control Panel (Computer Setup

persists, replace the RTC battery. See the Removal and

or contact an authorized dealer or reseller for RTC battery

Solution
1. Check the Computer Setup settings to make sure
the internal system speaker is not muted (this setting does
not affect the external speakers).
2. Make sure the external speakers are properly connected and
powered on and that the speakers' volume control is set
correctly.
3. Use the system volume control available in the operating
system to make sure the speakers are not muted or to
increase the volume.
Solution
Unlock the Smart Cover Lock using Computer Setup.
In case of forgotten password, power loss, or computer
malfunction, you must manually disable the Smart Cover lock . A
key to unlock the Smart Cover Lock is not available from HP. Keys
are typically available from a hardware store.
Solution
1. Make sure airflow to the computer is not blocked. Leave a
10.2-cm (4-inch) clearance on all vented sides of
the computer and above the monitor to permit the required
airflow.
2. Make sure fans are connected and working properly (some
fans only operate when needed).
3. Make sure the processor heat sink is installed properly.
