Chapter Eight: Troubleshooting

Keyboard
Problem: My WinBook XL's built-in keyboard doesn't work.
Actions:
• If you have connected an external keyboard to your WinBook XL, try restarting the WinBook
XL.
• If restarting the WinBook XL doesn't help, remove the external keyboard and restart the
WinBook XL again. Your external keyboard may be faulty or incompatible with the WinBook
XL.
Problem: The external keyboard that I connected to my WinBook XL is not working.
Actions:
• If you plugged the keyboard into the WinBook XL after it was turned on, restart the WinBook
XL with the keyboard plugged in. If restarting doesn't help, your keyboard may be defective or
incompatible with PS/2 specifications.
• If you try the keyboard on another PS/2 compatible computer and the keyboard works, your
WinBook XL might be defective. Call the Technical Support number listed on the WinBook XL
"Read Me First" card for assistance.
Problem: The characters on the screen repeat while I type.
Actions:
• You may be holding the keys down for too long while you type. You can configure the
keyboard to wait longer before the auto repeat feature starts. To adjust this feature, click on the
Keyboard icon in the Control Panel (Start/Settings/Control Panel) in Windows 95. A
dialogue box appears with adjustable settings for the keyboard.
• Check to be certain the keyboard is clean. Dirt under the keys could cause them to stick.

Pointing Devices

Problem: I plugged an external PS/2 pointing device into the WinBook XL, but it doesn't work.
