Getting Started

Connecting to a Power Source

Chapter 2

Connecting the AC Adapter

A universal AC adapter is provided to supply your computer with power and also charge the computer’s battery pack. The adapter’s AC input voltage can range anywhere from 100 to 240 volts, covering the standard voltages available in almost every country.

The power cord for the AC adapter requires a three-hole grounded AC outlet. To connect the computer to an external power source:

Plug the AC adapter’s connector into the DC-IN connector on the rear of the computer.

Connect the power cord to the AC adapter and then to a wall outlet.

CAUTION: The best kind of AC power source to connect your Notebook to is a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply). Lacking this, use a power strip with a built-in surge protector. Do not use inferior extension cords as this may result in damage to your Notebook. The Notebook comes with its own AC adapter. Do not use a different adapter to power the computer and other electrical devices.

Whenever possible, keep the AC adapter plugged into the Notebook and an electrical outlet to recharge the battery.

CAUTION: Never turn off or reset your Notebook while the hard disk or floppy disk is in use and the FDD and/or HDD status icon is lit; doing so can result in loss or destruction of your data.

CAUTION: Always wait at least 5 seconds after turning off your Notebook before turning it back on; turning the power on and off in rapid succession can damage the Notebook’s electrical circuitry.

Turning On Your Notebook Computer

Turn on your Notebook by pressing the power button. Hold the button down for a second or two and release. The Power-On Self Test (POST) runs automatically.

After the POST is completed, the computer reads the operating system from the hard disk drive into computer memory (this is commonly referred to as “booting” a computer). If your OS (Operating System such as Windows ME, Windows 2000…. etc) is installed, it should start automatically.

To turn the Notebook off, save your work and close all open applications, click on Start, then Shu down the computer and click "Y for 4-6 seconds.

t Down and select Shut

es" or press the power button

Operating on Battery Power

Your computer comes with a rechargeable battery pack that lets you operate the computer without an external power source. When the battery pack is fully charged, you can operate the computer for approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes (for

59.2Whr) or 2 hours (for 87Whr) under the following

conditions:

• The battery pack initially has a full charge.

• No peripheral devices are installed.

• The disk/CD-ROM drives run no more than 10% of the time.

NOTE: Only use batteries that are approved by an

authorized dealer. All batteries are not the same and therefore should not be treated as such. Using the wrong battery could cause serious damage to your computer and yourself through toxic emissions.

Inserting and Removing the Battery Pack

The battery pack should already be inserted in your Notebook computer when you unpack it. If not inserted, follow these directions:

Turn over the notebook with the front of the unit facing you and place it on a solid, flat surface.

Angle the battery into the bay. The front edge of the battery should slide into the grooves in the system case.

Gently lower the battery into the bay and push it until it clicks securely in the bay.

To remove the battery pack:

Turn off the notebook, and disconnect the AC adapter. Close the LCD panel and turn it over and place it on a solid, flat surface.

Lift the release latch to release the battery from the bay. At this time the battery will now be angled slightly out of the bay.

3. Hold the battery at the finger grip and lift it out of the compartment.

Charging the Battery Pack

The installed battery pack charges automatically any time the computer is connected to the AC adapter and an external power source.

It is a good idea to occasionally discharge the battery pack fully to preserve its operating performance.

NOTE: Battery Charging

Step 1: Discharge the battery and recharge until it reach full charge capacity. Step 2: A fully charge battery must be discharge to less then 95% capacity then recharge the battery.

Power Saving Modes

This section contains information on the Notebook’s power system, including the AC Adapter, the battery system, recharging the battery, and tips for conserving battery power.

The power system is comprised of two parts, the AC Adapter and the battery system. The AC Adapter converts AC power from a wall outlet to the DC power required by the computer.

The Battery Power System

A fully charged pack will provide approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes (for 59.2Whr) or 2 hours (for 88.8Whr) of battery life depending on your system configuration application it runs.

Before using the computer on battery power for the first time, check the battery status icon on the Windows Toolbar to make sure the battery is fully charged.

See Battery Status later in this section for a description and explanation of the Windows Battery icon. Charging the battery takes about 3 hours to charge when the system is in off state. If possible, always charge the battery completely.

Removing the Battery Pack

To remove the battery pack from its compartment, please refer to Chapter Two, Inserting and Removing the Battery Pack.

Preparing the Battery Pack for Use

Before using the battery pack for the first time, the Smart Battery IC within the battery pack should be calibrated in order to get accurate reporting of remaining battery life status.

To calibrate the battery pack follows the instructions below:

Insert the battery into the battery compartment and turn on the Notebook. If the battery is completely without power go to the next step.

Otherwise, let the battery run down until the battery lowlow warning beeps are heard. The system will automatically enter Suspend mode.

Turn the Notebook off. Connect the AC adapter and let the battery fully recharge. When the battery charge indicator turns off, the battery is fully charged.

Turn On the notebook, let the battery run down until the battery is in low-low state and you hear a warning beeps. The system will automatically enter the Suspend mode. You can now connect the AC adapter.

The battery pack is now calibrated properly.

In general, using the battery until the low-low battery-warning indicator appears and fully recharges the battery each time (full discharge/charge cycle) will ensure the accurate reporting of the battery gauge status.

Automatic Battery Pack Charging Function

You can automatically charge the battery pack by using the AC Adapter. The charge time is about three hours when the Notebook power is turned off. The following table summarizes the charging modes:

Charge

Mode

Charge Time

Fast 3.5 hours (88.8Whr) or 2.5 hours (59.2Whr) with

the system off or in Suspend mode. The temperature must be 25°C or below room temperature.

Pre-Charge A pre-charge is supplied to the Li-Ion battery

pack.

Battery Status

Windows ME/Windows 2000/Windows XP has an applet in the Control Panel that will display an icon in the Windows taskbar indicating when the Notebook is running on battery power or is attached to the AC adapter.

This applet also displays a meter that indicates how much charge is remaining in the battery.

Battery Low Warning

When the pack initially reaches the “Battery Low” state approximately 10 ~ 15 minutes of the usable battery life is left.

You will hear an audible beep signal every 1.5 seconds alerting you to the “Battery Low” status. When the battery power reaches the “Battery Low Low” status the beeping sound will accelerate.

Your battery now has 1 ~ 2 minutes of battery charge remaining. You must save your data or connect AC power immediately; otherwise, you may lose your data.

Sound Meaning

Continuous beeping every

1.5 seconds Beeping

accelerates

Battery Low: Indicates that there is 7 to 10 minutes charge remaining.

Battery Low Low: Indicates that there is 1 to 2 minutes of battery charge remaining. Save your work and turn off the Notebook, or connect the AC adapter.

When there is only one minute of battery charge remaining, the Notebook will suspend to the HDD and power off. You should connect AC power and resume to save your work.

Small Battery for the Real Time Clock

There is a small built-in battery pack that supplies power to the system in order to maintain certain system information while the power is off. If the Notebook is left without a power source for long period of time, this battery will be exhausted and system information will be lost.

Warning:

Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions. Never remove the battery pack while the power is on as this may result in data loss when the system loses power.

Resetting the System

After installing a software application package, you may be prompted to reset the system to load the changed operating environment. To reset the system, or “reboot,” press the [Ctrl] + [Alt] + [Delete] keys simultaneously. This is known as “warm boot.” This key combination acts as “software” reset switch when you encounter hardware or software problems, which lock up the Notebook.

If this key combination does not shut down the Notebook, you can reset the Notebook by using the Notebook’s power button. Should the Notebook lock up for some reason, pressing this button powers the Notebook off.

Adjusting the Brightness

To adjust the brightness on the LCD screen, press and hold down the [Fn] key in the lower left hand corner of the keyboard and press the [F7] key to reduce the brightness or [F8] to increase the brightness.

Troubleshooting

This chapter describes locating and solving problems that you may encounter while using your computer.

Locating a Problem

Problems with your computer can be caused by something as minor as an unplugged power cord – or as major as a damaged hard disk. The information in this chapter is designed to help you find and solve minor problems. If you try all the suggested solutions and you still have a problem, make a list of what steps you have taken to correct the problem and contact your dealer.

Successful troubleshooting is the result of careful observation, deductive reasoning, and an organized approach to solving the problem.

The problems that you will encounter can be divided into two basic categories: hardware problems and software problems. Hardware problems can be further divided into electrical and mechanical problems. You will know you have a hardware problem if the screen is dark, the computer cannot read the disk

drives, or you get an error message during the Power-On Self Test (POST).

Software errors can occur at several levels. The ROM BIOS and the operating system can give you a large number of error messages. On top of this, each application software package has its own set of error messages. It is important to determine whether the software error message you are getting is from the application or the operating system. Once you know this, you can look in the respective manual for a solution to the problem.

Checking Cables and Connections

Start by performing a careful visual inspection of the exterior of the computer. If no LEDs are illuminated, make sure that your computer and its peripherals are getting power and communicating with each other properly.

To check the power cables, and connections:

If you have been using battery power, connect the Notebook to an external power source and make sure that the battery has a charge.

If you are using the Notebook with the AC adapter, check the power outlet, the power cord, and any power switches that may affect your computer.

• Check the wall outlet or power strip with an item that you

know is functioning properly. A lamp or radio is a convenient item for checking the power. You may also need to check the fuses and breakers in your electric box.

• If the outlet is controlled by a wall switch, make sure that

the switch is on.

• If the outlet is controlled by a dimmer switch, use a different

outlet.

• If your computer is plugged into a power strip with an

On/Off switch, make sure the switch is on.

With the computer’s power switched off, check all cable connections. If the computer is connected to any peripheral

devices, look for loose or disconnected cables.

If the computer is too close to a wall, a cable connection may be loose or the cables may be crimped.

NOTE: Do not substitute cables for different devices

(other than the manufacturer recommended cables) even if they look exactly alike. The wiring inside the cable may be different.

When you are certain that you have power available and all connections are good, turn the computer on again.

If the computer still does not start, you may have a hardware problem.

The Power-On Self Test

The Power-On Self Test (POST) runs every time you turn on or reset the Notebook. The POST checks memory, the main system board, the display, the keyboard, the disk drives, and other installed options.

A few seconds after you turn on your computer, a copyright message appears on your display screen. A memory test message appears next; as the test continues, memory size increases until all installed memory is tested. Normally, the only test routine visible on the screen will be the memory test.

Two classifications of malfunctions can be detected during the POST:

• Error messages that indicate a failure with either the

hardware, the software, or the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS). These critical malfunctions prevent the computer from operating at all or could cause incorrect and apparent results. An example of a critical error is microprocessor malfunction.

• Messages that furnish important information on the power-

on and boot processes (such as memory status). These noncritical malfunctions are those that cause incorrect results

that may not be readily apparent. An example of a noncritical error would be a memory chip failure.

In general, if the POST detects a system board failure (a critical error), the computer halts and generates a series of beeps. If failure is detected in an area other than the system board (such as the display, keyboard, or an adapter card) an error message is displayed on the screen and testing is stopped. It is important to remember that the POST does not test all areas of the computer, only those that allow it to be operational enough to run diagnostic programs.

If your system does not successfully complete the POST, but displays a blank screen, emits a series of beeps, or displays an error code, consult your dealer.

General Hardware Problems

A few common hardware problems and suggested solutions are presented in the table below:

Problem:

Failure in the installation of the Audio

driver.

Solution:

Be sure to first remove the current audio device from your system. Please follow the instruction on the installation of audio driver.

Problem:

Solution:

The display screen is dark

Make sure that the computer is not in Suspend mode. Check the Brightness controls for the screen. If the controls are turned too far down, the screen will be dark.

Problem:

Solution:

An incorrect date and time are displayed.

Correct the date and time using the DOS DATE and TIME commands or the options in the Setup Utility. If the date and time become incorrect after a short

time, your CMOS battery may be depleted. Contact your dealer to change the battery.

Problem:

The message: “Invalid system disk, Replace the disk, and then press any key” appears during boot.

Solution:

Check and make sure that you do not have a non-bootable floppy diskette inserted in your floppy drive. If your FDD is empty, you may not have an operating system installed on your drive. Contact technical support for assistance.

Problem:

You hear irregular beeps during operation of the Notebook and the system halts.

Solution:

The problem is beyond the scope of this manual. Contact technical support.

Problem:

Solution:

An unidentified message is displayed.

Reboot the computer and run the BIOS system setup. Confirm the Setup parameters. If the same message is displayed after booting up again, contact technical support for assistance.

Problem:

The system cannot access the CDROM/DVD-ROM drive.

Solution:

Check that a CD is properly inserted in the drive. Make sure that you are using the correct program for that kind of CD. For example, the system cannot read a data CD using an audio program.

Problem:

Solution:

You cannot operate the printer.

Check the printer cable connection. Ensure that the printer power switch is turned on. Confirm that the printer is on-line.

Problem:

You can’t save data to disk.

Solution:

Ensure that the disk has been formatted. Consult your operating system manual for information on formatting floppy diskettes.

Problem:

The diskette is write-protected. Eject the diskette, remove the write protection, and try again.

Solution:

The diskette if full. Try using another diskette or free up some space on the diskette. The disk drive is not operating. Contact your dealer for support.

Problem:

• Check the cable connection.

• Check the mouse with another application to see if there is a

software incompatibility problem.

• If possible, check the mouse with another computer to see if

it works. If it doesn’t operate on a different system, the mouse might be broken.

You cannot use the mouse.

Contacting Your Dealer

If you still have a problem after reading the preceding sections, the next step is to contact your dealer. Your dealer can determine if the problem is something that requires the computer to be taken to the shop. Before you call your dealer, however, prepare the following information:

• How is your computer configured? Your dealer needs to

know what peripheral devices you are using.

• What messages, if any, are on the screen?

• What software were you running at the time?

• What have you done already to try to solve the problem? If

you have overlooked a step, your dealer may be able to solve the problem over the phone.

Chapter 8

Upgrading your System

Upgrading your Memory

Refer to the following instructions and illustration for information on upgrading your notebook's memory.

Turn off the computer and disconnect the AC adapter and all peripherals.

Turn the notebook over so that the rear ports are facing you and locate the memory module compartment.

Remove the screws that secure the RAM module compartment cover to the chassis and set it aside. Slide the cover to the direction of the arrow. Locate the RAM modules.

Using your fingers or a small screwdriver, press the grips on the side of the RAM module away from the modules. The RAM module should pop out slightly.

Gently pull out the RAM modules.

To replace the RAM modules, align the RAM module connector with the RAM module socket and then press the RAM module down until it clicks into place.

The Easy to Upgrade HDD Module

Your computer’s hard disk drive is an integrated electronic drive, commonly referred to as an IDE drive, with a form factor of 2.5 inches.

Removing and Replacing the Hard Disk Drive

The Notebook’s hard disk is easy to upgrade. To remove the hard disk drive:
