Before you start...

5.1

Sometime during the life of your LCD-PC you might do something seems harmless, yet it causes headaches. We have created this section for you to trouble shoot and solve the problem when the unfortunate happens.

Attempting to troubleshoot your own LCD-PC can be as easy as a walk in the park. However, correct mind set is very important before trying to troubleshoot. You must keep a few things in mind:

An LCD-PC is just a collection of parts. Do not panic. Chances are that your problem is pretty simple.

What has changed since it last worked? Sometimes, some small upgrade that seems unrelated to the problem, yet in reality it caused the problem to begin with.

There are also some things that you should think about:

Beta software: Remember if the software you have is beta, so it may contain bugs. Some problems may result from it.

Viruses: Scan for viruses. Some of them can do some nasty things to your computer.

If it is still under warranty, let the technicians of your vendor do it.

Follow the steps in this section if your LCD-PC will not turn on. The LED does not light up. There is no fan or hard drive noise, and the screen is completely black.

1.Make sure that the electrical outlet works by plugging in a different device, or plug the computer into a different outlet.

2.Check the power cord. Use a known good power cord.

3.Check the connection of the power cord on both ends. Make sure that the plug is securely plugged into both the electrical outlet and the back of the computer.

4.Disconnect the keyboard, mouse, and all other peripherals such as speakers.

5.If you still can't get the unit to turn on, contact your LCD-PC dealer for Authorized Service.

5.2

5.3

RF Keyboard and Mouse Problem

If you have RF Keyboard and Mouse that come with the LCD-PC and encounter some problem, please go through the following steps.

Note: Please make sure that you have follow the instructions from the keyboard and mouse guide

to set up RF mouse and keyboard properly. In addition, make sure that the RF receiver is connected on the PS/2 port.

The mouse pointer does not move when you move the mouse or when you type on an office

application but nothing happened.

1.Check if the LED light on the receiver is blinking when you move the mouse or type.

-If not, check the battery installed in the mouse. Change new batteries or make sure they have good contact with the metal plate.

- If yes, check the channel setting for you mouse, and make sure the channel setting on the RF mouse and the receiver is on the same frequency setting. The same procedure goes for the RF keyboard.

5.4

USB Problem

Very rarely you will encounter USB problem. Always check if your USB device are properly connected to the USB ports first. However, if you ever encounter USB problem, most likely it is a driver issue. For example, when you plug in any USB device, it shows up as an unknown device in the Device Manager and you never get a chance to install the drivers for it. Follow the next steps to correct it:

1.Install the driver for your USB device from the diskette or CD the device manufacturer provided.

2.Plug in your USB device

If it still does not work, it may be wrongly set up. Please contact your system vendor and have the technician correct it for you.

Chapter 5

Software Problem

5.5

If you have installed new software, but it is not compatible with the operating system you are using, please follow the next steps.

1.Check if there is any new update or patch for the software from the website of the software vendor.

Download the newest update and patch to fix the problem the old version may cause.

Open/execute the update patch to fix the problem.

2.If the problem still exists, uninstall the program you have installed.

3.If uninstalling still causes problems, run your anti- virus program to scan for virus.

4.If above solution still do not work, and you are using Windows XP, run "System Restoration" function.

The "System Restoration" function allows you to restore the state of the computer back to the last time you saved.

Follow the instruction from Windows XP for system restoration.

5.If the problem occurs and you are not using Windows XP, please contact your system vendor.

NOTE: Windows XP's System Restoration is a very

powerful tool which allows you to "turn back the clock" after you mess up your computer. Please remember to save the state of the computer before you install any software.

If you have the problem of dark or no image on the display, more than likely, the screen contrast or brightness controls are improperly adjusted. Please adjust it with the guide on section 2.1.

Maybe you have accidentally put your LCD-PC into "Suspend Mode" by pressing the Suspend/Resume switch. Press the button again or the power switch to wake up your computer and reactivate the screen.

Note: Suspend mode: Suspend-to-RAM (STR) occurs when a

system enters a low-power state. Information on system configuration, open applications, and active files is stored in main memory (RAM), while most of the system's other components are turned off. A system in STR can use as little as 5 watts of power, with most of it going to main memory for data maintenance.

5.6

General Maintenance

The best maintenance is the preventive one. Keep the following in mind and perform the maintenance at least once a month.

Keep the LCD-PC clean regularly.

Avoid transporting or using the computer in dirty or dusty environments. Use a clean container

when you transport the computer.

Avoid getting dirt and dust in the optical drive.

Avoid spilling liquids on the computer.

You can clean the keyboard with a small computer vacuum to remove dust buildup that can

impede key motion.

You can occasionally use a vacuum to clean the ports.

Make sure that the computer is turned off before unplugging it.

When you disconnect cords, remember to pull them by the plugs and not by the cords themselves.

This will prevent damage to the cords, plugs, ports, and jacks.

Perform system maintenance regularly. Windows provides tools for you to keep your LCD-PC

automatically.

Cleaning The LCD-PC

Cleaning The Case

If the LCD-PC case becomes dirty, you can clean it. Always make sure that the LCD-PC is turned off and the AC adapter is disconnected before you do anything else. You can clean the case with a soft, preferably lint-free, cloth. If necessary, you may use mild detergent.

Avoid any cleaner that contains abrasives, and DO NOT use cleaning solvents such as thinner,

benzene or isopropy1 alcohol-based products.

Never spray cleaner directly onto the computer.

Always spray the cleaner onto a cloth and then wipe the LCD-PC with the cloth. After cleaning,

allow 30 minutes drying time.

Caring for and Cleaning The LCD Display

LCD screens are delicate devices that need careful handling. Please pay attention to the following advice:

When you are not using the LCD-PC, please keep it clean regularly just as you were using it. Do not put your fingers or sharp objects directly on the surface and never spray any cleaner directly

onto the display.

Do not press the LCD display with large amount of force to prevent it from breaking.

The LCD display panel is covered with glass. If the glass gets dirty, you can clean it the same way you would clean a computer monitor screen. Wipe the LCD surface gently with a clean, soft tissue or a lint-free cloth, and if necessary apply some commercially available LCD cleaner on to the tissue or cloth.

Warning!

Do not clean the screen with a cleaner that contains alcohol or acetone. Use a cleaner intended for use with an LCD. Never spray cleaner directly onto the screen. Liquid could drip inside the computer and cause an electrical shock.
