Troubleshooting
►
Move the notebook so that its temperature returns to
within the normal range.
►
If the operating time of the battery life is extremely
short, the battery is probably too old. Replace
battery if necessary.
►
Use the mains adapter as frequently as possible.
►
Set the screen somewhat darker with the key Fn
and the key F6 to reduce the power consumption.
►
Check the settings in the BIOS Setup (in the Power
menu) and under Windows Power Options in the
Control Panel and match the parameters.
