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 hardware can
understand. The BIOS settings are needed by the Joybook to
identify the types of installed devices and establish special
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.

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
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
BenQ logo appears on the screen during system startup. The
logo shows up on the screen for only a few seconds, so you must
press the <F2> key at the time.

The BIOS setup screen can be divided into three areas:

• On the top line is the menu bar containing the titles of
available menus. Each menu title contains a specific menu.

• The center left column of the menu contains information
regarding the current settings of the system. If you open a pull­down menu and select an item that provides multiple options,
the left column will display a submenu where you can make
further selections.

• The right column of the menu provides:

• Help information about the current menu selected.
When a menu item is highlighted, more detailed
information is given.

Your Joybook 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 46.

•

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 48.

•

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

Recovering your system using QDataTrove 51

Protecting your Joybook from viruses and other security threats

Your Joybook may come pre-installed with an anti-virus
software, which can help you avoid unexpected destruction of
your precious data in the Joybook 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.

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.
Important updates can bring you significant benefits, such as
improved security and reliability.

For more information about how to use Windows Update, refer
to Start > Help and Support in Windows 7.

FAQ and troubleshooting

The chapter describes situations that you may encounter during
use of the Joybook, 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 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
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
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.
When the battery icon in the notification area on your Joybook
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 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 is receiving power. Is the power cord
plugged in correctly? If the battery is installed in the Joybook
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, or
the AC power cord may be defective. Consult your BenQ dealer
for help and maintenance.

FAQ and troubleshooting 57

What should I do if the battery gets hot in my Joybook?

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 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 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 cannot start
up.

Check the Power button indicator.

• If it is not lit up, your Joybook 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 and
a working electrical outlet, so the battery can start charging.

• If the Power button indicator lights up in blue, the
Joybook 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
45 for details.

FAQ and troubleshooting58

What is a Wireless LAN (WLAN)?

A WLAN is a type of Local Area Network (LAN) that uses high

FAQ and troubleshooting 61

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.

manufacturers

1GB=1,000MB

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.

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?

Please open/close the lid gently and slowly with both hands.
Apply force evenly on both hands to reduce hinge wearing and

FAQ and troubleshooting62

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. To prevent overheating, do not obstruct the

vents. For example, do not use the Joybook in bed where a
blanket may inadvertently cover the vents and block the airflow.

Why does my Joybook seem to turn off itself after a certain
period of inactivity?

This is the default setting of the Joybook to conserve battery
power. The Joybook is configured to use the power saving
feature. You can go to

Security > Power Options to select your preferred power

plan.

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 be maintained.
