features.
BIOS settings are specific to your Joybook 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.

FAQ and troubleshooting
The following are descriptions of situations that you may
encounter during use of the Joybook, along with basic
troubleshooting steps. If you are not able to resolve the issue,
immediately contact a BenQ service center for assistance.
General
What is Joybook? What are the differences between the Joybook
and traditional notebooks?
BenQ call it Joybook, because BenQ has combined
entertainment and stylish design with traditional notebook's
functions. For example, enhanced 3D processing power for
gaming and movie viewing. With Joybook, you will be able to
enjoy the most exciting audio and visual experience ever!
What is a Wireless LAN (WLAN)?
A WLAN is a type of Local Area Network (LAN) that uses high
frequency radio waves rather than wires to communicate and
transmit data among nodes. It is a flexible data communication
system implemented as an extension to, or as an alternative for,
a wired LAN within a building or campus.
What is IEEE 802.11a/b/g?
IEEE 802.11a/b/g is a technical specification issued by the
Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) that
defines the operation of 5 GHz/54Mbps, 2.4 GHz, 11 Mbps/
54Mbps, Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum Wireless Local Area
Networks (WLANs).
Battery and power
How long should I charge the battery for the first time?
The length of the charging time may vary. When the white light
of the battery indicator goes off, it means that the charging is
completed.
My computer won't start up with the battery inserted?
• Make sure the battery is properly inserted.
• Make sure that 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
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 life of battery.
FAQ and troubleshooting58
When charging the battery, the power indicator on Joybook
suggests that the battery is fully charged. 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 Joybook. When
the power indicator on Joybook is off, it means that the battery
has reached a saturated voltage: 95%-99%. At this moment, the
voltage difference detected by Joybook 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 that the Joybook is receiving power. Is the cord
plugged in correctly? When the battery is installed in the
computer and it is properly plugged in to an AC outlet, check to
see if the battery level icon is showing a charge sign. If this does
not fix the problem, the battery, the power source in the
notebook, or the AC power cord may be defective. Consult your
BenQ dealer for help and maintenance.
What should I do if the battery gets hot in my Joybook?
Take the battery out and let it cool down. If the problem persists
once it is inserted back into the Joybook, the battery could be
defective and it may need to be replaced.
Joybook will not start up, even though the Power button was
pressed.
Check the power indicator.
• If the power button is not lit up, Joybook is not being supplied
by power, either from an external power source via the AC
adapter or from the battery. Make sure that the AC adapter is
correctly inserted into the power socket of Joybook and a
working electrical socket, and allow the battery to begin
charging.
• If the power indicator is lit up in white, the Joybook is
being supplied normally with power, meaning that the
problem lies elsewhere.
• If you have added any hardware, such as a memory
module, 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 first back
up all your data and then use the Drivers and
Applications disc that came with the Joybook to return
the its software to original state. Please note however
that doing so will cause all of your personal data on the
hard disk to be lost!
Why does the battery on my Joybook seem to last shorter and
shorter?
It is normal for Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) batteries to decline in
capacity over time.
FAQ and troubleshooting 59

Why does the keyboard and/or palm rest get warm?
Typically, the Joybook tends to be slightly warm. 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 heat rises, the
keyboard may slightly get warm. There is no need to be
concerned. However, since your computer has a thermally
controlled fan, when the CPU and/or internal temperature of
the notebook reaches a certain temperature level, the fan is
turned ON and stays ON until the temperature drops to a predefined level.
The U, I, O, J, K, L, M keys on my Joybook are coming up as
numbers instead of letters?
The number keys are enabled. Press the Num Lk (Number
Lock) key once to disable the number lock function, and the
letters will return to normal.
FAQ and troubleshooting62
There is no sound coming from the speakers.
DVD movies will not play.
Check the following:
• The speakers may have been muted. Look at the volume
control (speaker icon) on the Windows Taskbar to see if mute
has been set. If so, turn off the mute.
• The speakers may have been turned off. Use the <Fn> + <F1>
hotkey combination to turn them on.
• The volume may have been set too low. Use the
<Fn> + <F11> hotkey combination to increase the volume.
• An earphone or external speakers may be connected to the
audio-out socket, automatically turning off the computer's
internal speakers.
CD or DVD does not function.
Please verify the following:
• Joybook is turned on, and the CD or DVD discs are properly
inserted in the center of the disc tray in the optical drive.
• The disc tray is closed.
• The CD or DVD is not bent or badly scratched.
• Noise from the optical drive when the disk plays shows that the
optical drive may be deformed, and the computer needs to be
repaired. If the disc tray does not open after the Eject button is
pressed, insert a pin into the Emergency Eject hole to force the
tray out.
The region code of the DVD inserted must match that of the
DVD playback software used. This region code can be set up to
five times. If you have not reached this limit, a prompt will
appear that will allow you to change the region code of the
software to match that of the move. Otherwise, you can only
play back DVDs with the same region code as the last DVD
played back successfully.
Why is the hard drive capacity displayed by the OS be different
from its nominated capacity?
Most users may have discovered that the capacity of a 10GB
hard drive will become 9GB when displayed from the OS; and
20GB become 19GB, 40GB become 38GB..., etc. The bigger the
capacity, the bigger the difference. It is because hard drive
makers and OS developers calculate hard drive capacity in
different ways. As a result, the nominated capacity is different
from the exact capacity displayed by the OS.

Exact capacity of a 40GB hard drive displayed in the OS:
40,000,000,000÷1024÷1024÷1024=37.2529 (GB).
Furthermore, when you partition a hard drive, the system will
reserve some space on the drive for system files. Therefore, the
total capacity of a hard drive displayed by the OS will never be
the same as its nominated capacity.
I hear noise when connecting an earphone to Joybook.
The instructions below will guide you through the
troubleshooting process.
• 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 open
the screen?
We suggest that you open and close your screen 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 application.
What should I do if a program in Windows freezes?
If your system freezes, press <Ctrl> + <Alt> + <Delete> keys
simultaneously, click Start Task Manager. Then, click the
Applications tab under Windows Task Manager, and then click
on the application that freezes and click End Task.
Why is my Joybook running so hot? Is it normal?
Yes. Because all the hardware is in such cramped quarters, it
tends to get hot. You should avoid using your Joybook on
blankets, bed, or other materials that keeps the heat in.
Why does my Joybook seem to turn off itself after a certain
period of inactivity?
This is the default setting of Joybook to conserve battery power.
The Joybook is configured to use the power saving feature. You
can go to Control Panel, Mobile PC, and Power Options in
Windows to adjust the setting manually.
Should I drain the battery of my Joybook every time before
charging to retain its capacity?
No. Your Joybook 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 care for.
