Troubleshooting
What To Do
If you are operating the system with battery power, check
that the battery pack is correctly inserted. Attach the AC
adapter to recharge the battery.
If you have the AC adapter attached, check that you are
using a working the electrical outlet.
Power-saving mode has shut off the backlight. Press a
keyboard key or move the mouse.
The built-in LCD may not be selected. Press Fn F3 once
or twice to select the LCD video mode.
Screen brightness needs adjustment. Use the Fn-F8 and
Fn-F9 functions keys.
The system entered Suspend mode due to low battery
power. (Check the Battery Gauge LED for power status.)
Plug in the AC adapter or replace the battery pack, and
then press the Power button to resume operation.
Use power-saving modes.
Fully charge and discharge the battery several times to
recondition it.
Replace the battery.
Adjust the brightness control. Use the slide switch at the
bottom of the LCD (SVGA panels, only) or the Fn-F8 and
Fn-F9 functions keys.
Make sure the component is securely installed or
connected. Verify that the system parameter for the I/O
port configuration is set correctly in Setup.
If system does not resume, it may have auto suspended
on a low battery. Attach the AC adapter and try again.
A disk drive might be busy. Wait until the disk drive stops
and try again.
Check that Auto Play is disabled. See "Changing the
Auto Play Setting" in Chapter 4 for details.
Power down the system and reseat the memory.
If new memory was installed prior to manual STF,
remove new memory before resuming from suspend.
