Troubleshooting

1. Where are the webcam captures stored by default?

By default webcam captures are saved to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\ Application Data\Microsoft\WIA\{6BDD1FC6-810F-11D0-BEC7-08002BE1092F}\0001 folder.

2. How to use the embedded numeric keypad?

Press <Fn>+<Ins NumLK> to turn the Numeric Lock on, now you can use the Embedded Numeric Keypad.

3. Why can’t I see pop-up icons when using Fn+ function key combinations, although the functions work good?

You need to install SoftwareCenter software bundled with your ViewBook.

4. The screen becomes blank while the computer is on. Why is that?

Your screen saver or power management may be active. Do one of the following to

exit from the screen saver or to resume from the Sleep or Hibernate modes:

a) Press any key; b) Touch the touch pad;

c) Press the power button.

5. I am trying to turn on my ViewBook, but nothing appears on the screen.

Please conrm the following: a) The battery is installed;

b) The power adapter is connected to the computer and to the AC power wall outlet.

c) The computer power is on. (Press the power button again for conrmation.)

If after following these steps the screen is still blank, please contact ViewSonic

customer service.

6. Keyboard Issues: a number appears when you type a letter.

The numeric lock function is on. To disable it, press <Fn> + <Ins NumLK> key.

7. Sound issues: no sound output comes out of the speakers even when the volume is turned up.

Please make sure that:

The mute function is off;

•

The headphone jack is not used;

• Speakers are selected as a playback device.

8. A Hard Disk Drive Problem: HDD doesn’t work.

Enter the BIOS Setup utility, go to Boot menu and make sure the hard disk drive is

included in the Boot Sequence.

9. ViewBook does not respond.

In case the system is not responding, to turn off your ViewBook, press and hold the

power button for about 6 seconds. If your ViewBook still does not respond, remove the AC adapter and the battery.

Your ViewBook might have locked when it was entering Sleep mode while performing

a communication operation. You can disable the sleep timer, if you are to leave your

ViewBook to download/upload les and will not be using it.
