Action
If you caused an abnormal power interruption (i.e..
removing battery while on battery power), you may
cause BIOS data corruption.
Action
Adjust the brightness on a TFT LCD. Are you using
an external monitor? If so, press <Fn+F5> to return
to the LCD panel.
If the secondary monitor is set to 256 colours, this er-
ror message could appear. Change the colour of the
secondary monitor to 'high colour (16 bit)'.
Is the monitor properly connected to the computer?
Is the monitor's power cord connected to an AC wall
outlet? Check the brightness and contrast controls on
the monitor. Does the program appear on the LCD
panel instead of the external monitor? If so, press
<Fn+F5> to switch to the monitor. Try turning the
monitor off and on again.
The system resets to the original BIOS setup when
the system returns from the power management
mode. If the Display mode, in the Advanced menu of
BIOS setup is set to LCD, then only the LCD will be
turned on when the system wakes up. Set the Display
mode in the BIOS to Both to turn on the LCD &
CRT on wakeup.
Check the cables between the monitor and the com-
puter. Are they properly installed?
If you are using the Multimonitor mode, you can not
use the <Fn+F5> key combination and also you can-
not use this function in 3D games using
Direct-X.
