First of all check the batteries. Try the batteries in a torch or
something similar, replace them if necessary. Check also that the
front window is not obscured on either the system unit or the
handset. Periodic cleaning with a soft cloth is advised.
Check finally the system BIOS to ensure that it has not been
disturbed from the original settings. If the settings appear to have
altered, or need to be entered every time you turn on the computer,
there may be a fault with the CMOS battery. The normal battery
life is between 3 and 5 years.
See 'System motherboard' for details on fitting a new CMOS battery,
and 'System BIOS and Setup', for information about system BIOS
settings.
Refer also to Chapter 2, 'Using your computer'.
If you have problems accessing a diskette or floppy disk, check that
it is inserted correctly, that it has been correctly formatted, that it is
not write-protected, and that the permissions assigned by the BIOS
allow the intended access. Some application software also may not
allow you to read or write to floppy disks during certain other
operations, or until you are about to exit the programme.
If you have problems accessing a CD, check that you have allowed a
few seconds for the disk to spin up to full speed, that the disk is the
correct way up in the drive, printed side upwards, and that it is a
data CD. Remember that with a conventional CD-ROM drive you
cannot write to a CD.
