Display Problems

If the computer is on, but the screen is blank
Try pressing Fn+F1 to increase the contrast or Fn+F2 to decrease the contrast. (On
TFT displays, contrast control is not necessary and therefore is not available.)
Press Fn+F12 in case the internal display was disabled. (Do this three times to return
to the state you started from.)
If the computer is cold, allow it to warm up.
If the screen is difficult to read
Check whether the display resolution is set to its default setting—800×600 for 12.1"
display or 1024×768 for larger displays. Check this in Start, Settings, Control Panel,
Display, Settings.
If you have an HPA display, try pressing Fn+F1 to increase contrast.
If part of the Windows desktop is not visible and you have to scroll down to see the
taskbar
Your display resolution may be set to 1024×768 on a 12.1" display, instead of
800×600. You need to set the monitor type to Laptop Display Panel (800×600) in
Windows 98 or Digital Flat Panel in Windows ME.
