1. If the hard disk indicator is lit, BIOS may be incorrectly

set. Revise the BIOS settings for the Primary Master.

2. Security may be set to prevent starting the operating

system.

3. If you choose to boot up your system from an external

device through a USB port, make sure it is on and boot­able media is inserted.

blank the screen to save power, and is in video time-out,
standby mode, or hibernation mode. Press any key,
move the pointer, or push the power button to turn on
the display.

not expand its display to full screen on the LCD screen
or on an external display device, you can right click on
Windows desktop and select Properties to open the
Display Properties window. Then click the Settings
tab and set the resolution to an appropriate value.

Troubleshooting

A

No audio output

1. The audio system is closed or the volume of audio sys-

tem is too low. Use hot keys or Flybook Control Center
to open the audio system and adjust the volume.

2. The audio output is disabled or too low for the audio

application. Open the audio output and adjust the vol­ume.

3. When plugging an earphone or external speaker into

the earphone/line-out jack, the built-in speakers are dis­abled automatically. If you can not hear sound from the
built-in speakers, ensure that nothing is plugged into the
jack.

The keyboard, pointing device or connected mouse
does not work properly

1. The system may have entered Suspend to RAM mode.

Push the power button to resume the system.

2. An application may have locked out your input device.

Restart your system.

3. If the keyboard or mouse does not respond on the USB

port, ensure that the devices are installed properly and
that drivers are installed.

Cannot connect to a wireless LAN

1. An incorrect network name (SSID) or network key may

be used. Make sure you have set the network name
(SSID) and key to the same values as the access point
(infrastructure connection) or the computers to be con­nected (Ad Hoc connection) have.

2. The computer may be too far from other communication

devices. Retry the connection after moving your com­puter closer to the computers to be connected with (Ad
Hoc connection) or to the access point (infrastructure

3. Check if the wireless LAN module is turned on. Verify

that Disable Radio is not checked in the Network setting
window.

4. Make sure you have access rights or network authenti-

cation to the network you want to connect to.

5. Try changing channels to avoid active channel duplica-

tion.

6. Check the setting of the protocol, work group, shared

setting, and IP address.

Cannot charge battery or losing power quickly

1. Verify that the battery is properly installed and it is not

too hot or too cold.

2. Calibrate the battery.

3. The installed battery may be faulty. Replace it with a

new one.

Having the V5 Serviced

If you are unable to solve the problem, you should have the
computer serviced. Pack the computer in the original car­ton. Include a description of the problem and a checklist of
the steps you took when trying to fix the problem. The infor­mation may be useful to the service personnel. Return the
computer to the place you purchased it.
