TROUBLESHOOT ING This chapter describes locating and solving problems that you may encounter while using your computer. Locating a Problem Problems with your computer can be caused by something as minor as an unplugged power cord – or as major as a damaged hard disk. The information in this chapter is designed to help you find and solve minor problems.
To check the power cables, and connections: 1. If you have been using battery power, connect the Notebook to an external power source and make sure that the battery has a charge. 2. If you are using the Notebook with the AC adapter, check the power outlet, the power cord, and any power switches that may affect your computer. Ø Check the wall outlet or power strip with an item that you know is functioning properly. A lamp or radio is a convenient item for checking the power.
Error messages that indicate a failure with either the hardware, the software, or the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS). These critical malfunctions prevent the computer from operating at all or could cause incorrect and apparent results. An example of a critical error is microprocessor malfunction. • Messages that furnish important information on the power-on and boot processes (such as memory status). These noncritical malfunctions are those that cause incorrect results that may not be readily apparent.
Solution: Correct the date and time using the DOS DATE and TIME commands or the options in the Setup Utility. If the date and time become incorrect after a short time, your CMOS battery may be depleted. Contact your dealer to change the battery. Problem: You hear irregular beeps during operation of the Notebook and the system halts. Solution: The problem is beyond the scope of this manual. Contact technical support. Problem: An unidentified message is displayed.
Contacting Your Dealer If you still have a problem after reading the preceding sections, the next step is to contact your dealer. Your dealer can determine if the problem is something that requires the computer to be taken to the shop. Before you call your dealer, however, prepare the following information: • How is your computer configured? Your dealer needs to know what peripheral devices you are using.
