TROUBLE SHOOTING
In this chapter, you will learn how to
solve common hardware and software
problems.
2-1
■ chapter 2 trouble shooting
Your computer has been fully tested and complies with the
system specifications before shipping. However, incorrect
operations and/or mishandling may cause problems.
This chapter provides a reference for identifying and correcting
common hardware and software problems that you may encounter.
When you encounter a problem, you should first try to go through
the recommendations in this chapter. Instead of returning the
computer and waiting for repair, you may easily solve the problems
by considering the following scenarios and possible solutions. If the
error continues, contact your reseller for service information.
Before taking further actions, consider the following
suggestions:
Check to see if the problem persists when all the external
devices are removed.
Check to see that the green light indicator on the AC adapter
is lit.
Check to see the power cord is properly plugged to the wall
outlet and to the computer.
Check to see the power indicator of the computer is on.
Check to see if your keyboard is operational by pressing and
holding any key.
Check for any incorrect or loose cable connections. Make
sure the latches on the connectors latch securely on to the receptor
end.
Be sure you have not performed an incorrect setting on the

hardware devices in the BIOS Setup utility. A faulty setting may
cause the system to misbehave. If you are not sure of the changes
you made, try to restore all the settings to factory defaults.
Be sure all the device drivers are installed properly. For
example, without the audio driver properly installed, the speakers
and microphone will not work.
If external devices such as USB camera, scanner, printer do
not function correctly when connected to the system, it is usually
the device’s own problem. Consult the device’s manufacturer first.
Some software programs, which have not gone through
rigorous coding and testing, may cause problems during your
routine use. Consult the software vendor for problem solving.
Legacy peripheral are not plug-and-play capable. You need
to restart the system with these devices powered up and connected
first.
Be sure to go to BIOS SETUP and load DEFAULT SETTING
after BIOS re-flash.
Be sure the Quick Key Lockout Switch on the bottom of the
computer is not engaged; otherwise the quick keys will not work.
