Chapter V Q&A

This chapter explains how to identify and resolve computer problems that may arise.

General hardware problems / possible causes and solutions

Some common hardware problems and recommended solutions are in the table below:

System Ceased Operation during the Execution of the Program

Cause: error by using the current procedure. Solution: Click <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Del> keys. Windows
operating system causes error; restart the system by using the power supply.

Operating System cannot be Restored to the Using State.

If the operating system can not resume operation after a pause, please check the following possible causes:

■ The battery may have a malfunction, or the current power level may be very low. To solve this problem,
please connect an external power supply such as the AC adapter.

The System cannot Shutdown Normally.

Hold down the power button 4-6 seconds, until the system shuts down.

58

Computer Usage

After Shutdown, if the System cannot reboot:

Connect the AC power adapter immediately; as it means that the battery did not have sufficient power to
reboot.

Measures to Extend Battery Life?

Adjust the screen brightness to the minimum possible level.
Adjust the computer screen to the normal standard.
Remove the PC card if not often used.
Turn off the PC Bluetooth function.
Turn off the PC wireless network function.
Ensure that the power configuration setting is in the "Save power" mode.

Wireless Network Breaks after 2 to 3 Minutes on line, and cannot resume on-line.

This may be due to interference caused by channel, please change the AP's channel and re-line.

Computer cannot connect to the Internet Network.

Internet service providers (ISP) account is not setup; please contact your network service company for
assistance.

59

Computer Usage

The PC has been online via a Wireless Network, but still cannot connect to another
Computer.

Please check the device driver is installed correctly. If the driver is not installed correctly, press the [Start]

-> [Control Panel] -> [System] -> [Device Manager] -> [Network Adapters], you will find a yellow
exclamation mark on the network tag. If a yellow exclamation mark occurs, please use the driver CD to
reinstall the device driver.

Good Signal Strength, but cannot connect to the Network.

Please check the TCP / IP address settings are correct or not.

If water accidentally penetrates the computer, how to solve this problem?

At this point, do not connect the computer's power supply, or it will cause more serious damage to the
computer. Unplug the power supply and power cord, remove any attached external devices (such as: drive).
Dry any liquid that was spilled on the computer; wipe stains with a soft cloth to reduce potential damage to
the unit. Dry the body and other equipment with fans, and then send it to the nearest computer repair center
to diagnose and repair the PC by qualified engineers, in order to reduce the damage to the computer.

The computer cannot continue running.

An external or internal storage device could be the cause of this problem as it is not operating properly
when storing the content.

60

Computer Usage

External peripheral devices may not compatible with the computer - such as external USB devices, rapid
flash, MMC, smart media memory cards that are belong to precision devices; if incorrectly used, they can
easily cause the computer to move to a standby situation when connected to the computer.

Incompatible software or drivers - the driver which is not compatible will cause .dll, .sys and .exe extension
files and will put the computer into standby or hibernation mode.

Contact Distributors

After reading the previous section, if the problem persists, the next step is to contact the distributor.
Distributors can determine whether the computer needs to be sent back to the store. Before you call the

distributor, please prepare the following information:

 What configuration/model is your computer? Distributors need to know what peripherals you use.
 Is there any error message on the screen?
 When operation failure occurs, which software are you trying to use?
 What steps have you tried to solve the problem? If you omit some steps, distributors may be able to

help you over the phone to complete the steps.
