• Problem: My screen keeps blanking when I do not want it to.
Solution: If your system is preinstalled with the Windows 7 operating system, you can disable any system
timers, such as the LCD turn-off timer or the blank timer by doing the following:
1. Start Power Manager.
2. Click the Power plan tab, and then select Maximum Performance from the predefined power plans.
• Problem: When I turn on the computer, nothing is displayed on the screen and the computer does not
beep while starting up.
Note: If you are not sure whether you heard any beeps, turn off the computer by pressing and holding the
power button for four seconds or more. Turn it on and listen again.
Solution: Ensure that:
– The battery is installed correctly.
– The ac power adapter is connected to the computer and the power cord is plugged into a working
electrical outlet.
– The computer is turned on. (Turn the power button on again for confirmation.)
