Using BIOS setup
BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) is a layer of software, called
firmware, that translates instructions from other layers of
software into instructions that the Joybook Lite hardware can
understand. The BIOS settings are needed by the Joybook Lite
to identify the types of installed devices and establish special
features.
BIOS settings are specific to your Joybook Lite hardware. Do
NOT change existing BIOS settings unless you are sure they
need to be changed, and are aware of the consequences. Any
incorrect BIOS settings may degrade the performance,
operation and functionality of your Joybook Lite.
For latest BIOS updates, visit http://www.benq.com/support/.
When and how to use BIOS
setup
You need to use BIOS setup when:
• You see an error message on the screen requesting you to run
BIOS setup.
• You want to restore the factory default settings.
• You want to modify some specific settings according to the
hardware.
• You want to modify some specific settings to optimize system
performance.
• The BIOS setup screen shown in this chapter is for your
reference only. The actual items or settings on your Joybook
Lite may differ.
• The BIOS setup program may have been updated after the
publication of this manual.
• The settings you select in your operating system might
override similar settings in BIOS setup.
To run BIOS setup, press the <F2> key immediately when the

Recovering your system using QDataTrove
• QDataTrove works on factory-installed Windows operating
systems only.
• It is strongly recommended to create Factory Recovery DVD
immediately once your Joybook Lite is ready for use. Refer
to "Creating a Factory Recovery CD/DVD" on page 40 for
details.
Introduction to QDataTrove
Your Joybook Lite may come pre-installed with QDataTrove
depending on your purchased model. QDataTrove is an
application that allows you to back up your system, restore your
system, or burn system image and bundled applications/drivers
into discs. In QDataTrove, the following three functional
modules are available:
Back up: This function allows you to back up your system
•
drive into a single image file, back up your system drive into
discs, or manually create a restore point. For details, refer to
"Backing up your system" on page 37.
•
Restore: This function helps you recover your system with
factory default system image or your own backup system
image, when the system is abnormal or damaged. It also allows
you to restore your system from a restore point, or reinstall
bundled applications and drivers. For details, refer to
"Restoring your system" on page 39.
•
Create Discs: This function allows you to create recovery
discs from factory default system image or your own backup
system image. It also allows you to back up all bundled
applications and drivers into a disc. In addition, you can create
a bootable USB flash disk. For details, refer to "Creating
recovery discs or Application and Driver DVD" on page 40.
• For the reasons below, you may not be able to restore your
system using QDataTrove:
a. On your Joybook Lite, the hidden partition in which
the QDataTrove files are saved has been changed.
b. Your operating system is not pre-installed by the
manufacturer.
You can use the Factory Recovery CD/DVD created (page
40) to restore the system. If you do not have the Factory
Recovery CD/DVD, please contact the BenQ Customer
Service for assistance. Extra charge may be required if
necessary.
• QDataTrove is not intended for backing up personal files, so
it cannot help you recover a personal file that has been
damaged or deleted. You should regularly back up your
personal files and important data using a backup program.
• System recovery is a data destructive process. It is strongly
recommended to back up all important data and applications
prior to performing the operation.
• Make sure your system is connected to AC Power before
using QDataTrove.

Protecting your Joybook Lite
from viruses and other
security threats
Your Joybook Lite may come pre-installed with an anti-virus
software, which can help you avoid unexpected destruction of
your precious data in the Joybook Lite and keeps your privacy
against any unauthorized access from other computers.
The anti-virus software protects your computer against Internet
threats, such as viruses, Spyware, hackers, and spam. In
addition, you can secure your personal information, block
unwanted web sites, and check e-mail for viruses.
However, we would still recommend that you back up your data
regularly on CDs, DVDs, or other external storage device, since
the anti-virus software may not be able to intercept all existing
and new viruses, which may lead to destruction of all or some of
your data in the Joybook Lite.
For more information about how to use the anti-virus software
installed, refer to the online help that comes with the software.
Furthermore, it is also recommended to set Windows to
automatically install important updates for your Joybook Lite.
Important updates can bring you significant benefits, such as
improved security and reliability.

FAQ and troubleshooting
The chapter describes situations that you may encounter during
use of the Joybook Lite, along with basic troubleshooting steps.
If you are not able to resolve the issue, contact a nearest BenQ
service center for assistance immediately.
Battery and power
How long should I charge the battery for the first time?
The length of the charging time may vary. Check the battery
icon in the notification area located in the lower right corner of
the desktop to see if the battery is fully charged.
My Joybook Lite won't start up with the battery inserted. What
should I do?
• Make sure the battery is properly inserted.
• Make sure the battery is fully charged. If this does not work,
consult your BenQ dealer.
What should I do with the battery if I will not use my Joybook
Lite for a long time?
Recharge the battery or discharge it to about 40% full, and then
store it in a dry place at about 15°C to 25°C. Extremely high or
low temperature will shorten the battery life.
The battery icon in the notification area on my Joybook Lite
suggests that the battery is fully charged. However, when I check
it from the Power Manager in Windows, the battery level is only
about 95%-99%. Why?
It is the result of the battery protection design of your Joybook
Lite. When the battery icon in the notification area on your
Joybook Lite shows the battery is fully charged, it means that the
battery has reached a saturated voltage: 95%~99%. At this
moment, the voltage difference detected by your Joybook Lite is
very small, so it will reduce the charging current to prevent
overcharging the battery with excess current or voltage, which
will damage the battery. Moreover, in order to protect the
battery from exposing to high voltage and current for a long
time during charging, the battery has been equipped with a
protection circuit that will charge the battery at low current in
the final phase.
How come my notebook is not fully charged even after a full
night charge?
Make sure the Joybook Lite is receiving power. Is the power cord
plugged in correctly? If the battery is installed in the Joybook
Lite and it is properly connected to an AC outlet, check if the
battery meter icon is showing a charge sign. If this does not fix
the problem, then the battery, the power source in your Joybook
Lite, or the AC power cord may be defective. Consult your
BenQ dealer for help and maintenance.
FAQ and troubleshooting49
Page 54
What should I do if the battery gets hot in my Joybook Lite?
Take the battery out and let it cool down for a while. If the
problem persists when the battery is inserted again into your
Joybook Lite later, the battery could be defective and it may
need to be replaced. Consult your BenQ dealer for help and
maintenance.
Why does the battery on my Joybook Lite seem to last shorter
and shorter?
It is normal for Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries to decline in
capacity over time.
Connection
I have pressed the Power button, but my Joybook Lite cannot
start up.
Check the Power button indicator.
• If it is not lit up, your Joybook Lite is not being supplied by
power, either from an external power source via the power
adapter or from the battery pack. Make sure you have
connected the power adapter correctly to the power jack of
your Joybook Lite and a working electrical outlet, so the
battery can start charging.
• If the Power button indicator lights up in white, the
Joybook Lite is being supplied normally with power,
meaning that the problem lies elsewhere.
• If you have added or replaced any hardware, check if it
has been installed correctly.
• It is possible that certain operating system files are
damaged or missing. If so, you may need to back up all
your data first, and then recover your system. Refer to
"Recovering your system using QDataTrove" on page
36 for details.
FAQ and troubleshooting50
What is a Wireless LAN (WLAN)?
A WLAN is a type of Local Area Network (LAN) that uses high

time and affect the system performance. However, you can still
improve the system performance by using the methods below:
• Close all open programs not being used. Use software
programs that are absolutely necessary. Try running virus
scans and other tools when you are not using your Joybook
Lite. Closing software programs that are not necessary helps
your system performs more efficiently.
• Prevent background software programs from loading. As
software programs load the small icons in the notification area
located in the lower right corner of the desktop, they will be
running in the background and each one consumes valuable
system resources. You can follow the steps below to prevent
application programs from running when Windows launches:

Why does the keyboard and/or palm rest get warm?
Typically, the Joybook Lite tends to be warm slightly. The
location of the hard disk is typically underneath the palm rest
and as a result, the palm rest gets warm. The location of the
processor is typically underneath the keyboard. And since the
heat rises, the keyboard may get warm slightly. Since your
Joybook Lite has a thermally controlled fan, when the CPU and/
or internal temperature of the Joybook Lite reaches a certain
temperature level, the fan is turned ON and stays ON until the
temperature drops to a pre-defined level.
There is no sound coming from the speakers.

• The speakers may have been muted. Check the volume control
(speaker icon) in the notification area located in the lower

• The speakers may have been turned off. Use the <Fn> + <F8>
hotkey combination to turn them on.
• The volume may have been set too low. Use the <Fn> + <F9>
hotkey combination to increase the volume.
• An earphone or external speakers may have been connected to
the audio output jack, turning off the Joybook Lite's built-in
speakers automatically.

Why is the hard disk capacity displayed by the OS different from
its nominated capacity?
You may have discovered that the capacity of a 10GB hard disk
becomes 9GB when displayed from the OS, and 20GB becomes
19GB, etc. The bigger the capacity, the bigger the difference. It is
because hard disk manufacturers and OS developers calculate
hard disk capacity in different ways. As a result, the nominated
capacity is different from the exact capacity displayed by the OS.
Calculation of hard disk
capacity by hard disk
manufacturers
1GB=1,000MB
1MB=1,000KB
1KB=1,000 bytes
Calculation of hard disk
capacity by OS
developers
1GB=1,024MB
1MB=1,024KB
1KB=1,024 bytes
Example of a 40GB hard disk:
Calculation by hard disk
manufacturers
40GB=40,000MB
=40,000,000KB
=40,000,000,000
bytes
Calculation by OS
developers
40GB=40,960MB
=41,943,040KB
=42,949,672,960
bytes
Furthermore, when a hard disk is partitioned, the system will
reserve some space on the drive for system files. Therefore, the
total capacity of a hard disk displayed by the OS will never be
the same as its nominated capacity.
I hear noise when connecting an earphone to the Joybook Lite.
Ver if y t he fo ll ow in g:
• Connect the earphone to other devices, such as a radio to see if
you can still hear that noise. If the noise persists, the earphone
may be out of order.
• If you can hear the noise only when inserting, it is the result of
high instantaneous current. It is a normal phenomenon.
How can I reduce the wearing of the screen hinge when I lift up
the lid of my Joybook Lite?
Please open/close the lid gently and slowly with both hands.
Apply force evenly on both hands to reduce hinge wearing and
prevent deformation or breaking of hinge due to uneven force.
What should I do if a program in Windows freezes?
If your system freezes, press the <Ctrl> + <Alt> + <Del> keys
simultaneously, click
Task Manager, click the Applications tab, and then click on
the application that freezes and click
Start Task Manager. Under Windows
End Task.
Exact capacity of a 40GB hard disk displayed in the OS:

FAQ and troubleshooting54
Why is my Joybook Lite running so hot? Is it normal?
Yes. Because all the hardware is in such cramped quarters, it
tends to get hot. To prevent overheating, do not obstruct the
Page 59
vents. For example, do not use the Joybook Lite in bed where a
blanket may inadvertently cover the vents and block the airflow.
Why does my Joybook Lite seem to turn off itself after a certain
period of inactivity?
This is the default setting of the Joybook Lite to conserve battery
power. The Joybook Lite is configured to use the power saving
feature. You can go to
Power Options to select your preferred power plan.
Should I drain the battery of my Joybook Lite every time before
charging to retain its capacity?
No. Your Joybook Lite comes with an Lithium-ion (Li-ion)
battery pack. This is one of the newest cell types available. It is
also the lightest battery type currently available on a
commercial basis and can provide more power than other main
cell types. There are no known problems of memory effect with
this battery type and it is the easiest battery type to be
maintained.
Start > Control Panel > Mobile PC >
Display
There is nothing visible on the screen.
Check the Power button indicator.
• If it is not lit up, no power is being supplied to the Joybook
Lite. Connect the power adapter and restart the Joybook Lite.
• If it blinks in white, the Joybook Lite has entered Sleep mode
in order to conserve power. You can press the Power button to
resume from Sleep mode.
• If it lights up in white, the Joybook Lite is being supplied
normally with power. There are two possible causes for the
problem.
• The screen's brightness may have been set too low. Use
the <Fn> + <F6> hotkey combination to increase the
brightness.
• The display may have been switched to use an
connected external display device. Use the <Fn> +
<F7> hotkey combination to switch the display back
to the Joybook Lite or to use simultaneous display.
When I connect the Joybook Lite to an external monitor, the
display is abnormal.
The instructions below will guide you through the
troubleshooting process.
• Use the <Fn> + <F7> function key combination to make
external video signal enabled.
• Refer to the user manual that came with the external monitor
to check the settings.
• Connect the VGA cable to the Joybook Lite and reboot the
system. If there is no display on the external monitor after
system reboot, connect the Joybook Lite to a standard VGA
monitor, and wait until you can see things properly on that
VGA monitor. Then, connect the target display to the Joybook
Lite again.
