You should now be able to reset the video driver to lower settings. Try
setting the resolution to 640 × 480 and the refresh rate to 60 Hz. Once you
reboot, you can raise these values again, using the test option in Windows.
These settings are accessible through the Advanced tab of the Display item
in the Control Panel. Alternately, you can try a different monitor,
preferably a newer and larger one.
If the system has been booted to Windows without a monitor attached, the
driver may have defaulted to the video output connector being disabled.
Press <Ctrl-Alt-F1> to re-enable the video display in Windows. Press
<Ctrl-Alt-F4> to re-enable a DVI display. For more information, refer
to KnowledgeBase 3OHCFRD8 at

downward).
3. Remove the bottom plate from the chassis by removing the
eight retaining screws.
4. Disconnect the 2.5 in. HDD or SSHD cable, noting the pin 1
orientation.

7. Wait 30 seconds and move the jumper back to pins 1–2.
Caution Do not leave the jumper on pins 2–3 for any significant length of time. Doing so
decreases battery life. In addition, leaving the jumper on pins 2–3 prevents the system from
booting.
