General Safety Precautions
In order to ensure your safety and the safety of your computer, we ask
you to carefully follow these safety precautions.
● After removing the computer from the box, please ensure that all
packaging materials are kept out of the reach of small children as
they can cause a potential choking hazard. The packaging materials
should be safely stored away in the event that it may be used again
for safe transportation of the computer.
● Ensure that the AC Adapter and power cable are placed in a safe
area where it cannot be tripped over or stepped on. The AC Adapter
should be situated in a well ventilated area and should have nothing
resting on or covering it.
● Before turning on the computer, ensure that it is placed on a level
surface with at least 10 cm of clearance around the air vents, which
will aid in proper cooling.
● Do not obstruct the air vents of the computer and do not insert any
foreign objects into this space. Doing this may cause a short circuit
or may cause the CPU fan to malfunction, resulting in the risk of a
re or electric shock. This may eventually render permanent damage
to the computer.
● Do note press or touch the display panel.
● Only use the AC Ada pter that is provided with the computer or
that which is recommended by th e manufacturer. Using n on-
recommended or non-approved parts may cause damage or increase
the risk of a re or explosion. In the event that another AC Adapter is
required, advice should be sought from a GIGABYTE service agent,
in order to make sure that the correct part is recommended.
● Before connecting the computer to the power outlet, make sure that
the voltage rating of the AC Adapter is compatible with the power
specication in the country where you are located. A detailed list of
the power specication for different countries can be found on Page
21~24.
● When using an extension cord, please make sure that the total sum
of ampere ratings for all connected devices does not exceed the total
ampere capacity for the circuit.
● Never attempt to repair or service the computer yourself. Please
refer all repairs and services to qualified service personnel at a
GIGABYTE Authorized Service Center.
Usage Tips
● When unplugging the power connector from the computer, please
hold and pull on the connector or the strain relief loop to disconnect.
Do not pull the power cord itself as this can cause damage to the
cable or the computer.
● In the event of an electrical storm, please disconnect the computer
from the power source and unplug any network or telephone cables
that may be connected to the computer.
● Do not use the computer near water sources, like bathtubs, washing
basins, kitchen or laundry sinks or swimming pools. Liquid that can
spill onto the computer by accident can cause electric shock to you
and damage to the computer.

A1840 SERIES USER’S MANUAL
Cleaning Tips
When cleaning the computer, please make sure that the computer is
switched off.
Computer Cover:
Use a microber or lint free soft cotton cloth and kitchen detergent (mix
5 parts water to 1 part detergent).
● Wet the cloth and wring out all excess liquid and wipe the surfaces clean.
● Take extra care to make sure that the cloth is damp and not very wet,
especially when cleaning around the air vents and other openings as
too much liquid in the cloth could drip onto the external components
causing damage to the computer.
LCD:
● It is best to use a microber cloth to clean the surface of the LCD.
● If there are any marks or stains present, it would be wise to use
commercially available LCD cleaning kit. When using a commercially
available LCD cleaning kit, never spray the liquid directly onto the
screen. You must spray it onto the cleaning cloth and then wipe the
screen clean.
● If this is not available then you can mix 50% isopropyl alcohol and
50% distilled water to clean the surface of the LCD screen.
● Dip the lint free soft cotton cloth into the solution, wringing out excess liquid.
● The cloth must be damp but not dripping with liquid.
● Take care not to let any excess liquid drip into the computer.
● Start from the top of the LCD surface and wipe from side to side.
● Continue with this until the entire LCD surface has been cleaned.
● Wipe the display with a clean, dry lint free soft cotton or microber cloth.
● Wait for the LCD surface to dry completely and then close the lid.
Be careful when using Isopropyl Alcohol as this is a ammable
liquid. Please keep away from children, naked flames or a
computer that is switched on.

4.1 Identifying the Problem
Q1.I have pressed the Power button, but my computer cannot
start up.
● Check the power cable and power adapter are connected.
● Check the Power button indicator.
►If the indicator d oes not l ight up, your computer is not being
supplied power from an external power source via the power
adapter. Check the connection between your computer, the power
adapter, and the nearby outlet.
►If the indicator flashes in white, your computer has entered Sleep
mode. Move your mouse or click any button on the keyboard to
wake the system.
►If the Power button indicator lights up in white, the computer is
being supplied normally with power. Reconnect the power adapter
and restart the system.
● Certain operating system files may be damaged or missing. If so,
you have to back up all your data rst, and then recover your system.
Check the supplied driver disc for details.
Q2.My computer cannot access a modem or a wireless router
or access point.
● Verify that you have performed a correct pre-installation for your In-

computer is using an Ethernet cable, instead of a tele-phone
cable, to connect with the broadband modem which is purchased
from your ISP. For assistance setting up your modem, contact your
ISP.
Q3.The wireless Internet connection is unstable.
● Check the wireless interference.
►Reset your wireless router or access point to factory defaults and
reconfigure the settings.

latest version available on the manufacturer’s site. Try moving the
wireless router or access point in a central position. A couple of
feet will sometimes make a big difference in signal strength.
►If you are using an access point, try changing the channel, as
another access point may be interfering.
►Contact your ISP to ensure they are not experiencing technical
problems.
Q4.There is nothing visible on the screen.
● Check the power cable and power adapter are well connected.
● Check the Power button indicator.
►If the indicator d oes not l ight up, your computer is not being
