A Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Symptom: You cannot recharge the battery
If the laptop has been left unused for a prolonged period of time,
the battery may become completely discharged. In such cases, you
need to connect to the AC adapter for several hours before the
battery begins to recharge normally.
Symptom: The printer does not operate
•
Verify that the printer is turned on.
•
Verify that the printer is properly connected to the laptop.
•
Double-click on My Computer, and then double-click on
Printers. Check whether your printer is installed here. If not,
click on Add Printer to install your printer.
•
Double-click on My Computer, and then double-click on
Printers. Check whether printer output is set to MSFax.
•
Search for help on printer problems in the Windows 95 Help
Index.
Symptom: The laptop won't produce sound
•
Check the volume control and mute button. Double-click on
the speaker symbol, which is to the right of the clock on the
bottom right of the screen to open the Volume Control
window.
•
Check whether the sound is turned down (off) at the keyboard.
Press <Fn+PgUp> several times to see whether the volume
increases.
•
Verify that the sound driver is installed. From the Windows 95
Control Panel, double-click on System, and then click on the
Device Manger tab. Next click on Sound, Video and Game
Controllers. Verify that the YAMAHA OPL3-Sax Sound
System is installed. If not, use the Control Panel's Add New
Hardware icon to install the driver.
Symptom: The IR communications will not function properly
•
Check the IrDA Port field in the BIOS Setup program.
•
Check that the FIR port is not dirty.
•
Check the distance between the laptop and the other device. If
there is less distance than four inches between the two, data
transfer may not work well. Adjust the distance and try again.
