The gas gauge isn’t full after charging the battery

This may indicate that the charging process terminated prematurely.

The gas gauge reads “full,” but the charging indicator light is still blinking

If you charge your battery daily, rely on the gas gauge reading to determine battery capacity. The charging process may continue

even if the gas gauge reads full. External power can be removed because the battery is virtually full.

My battery seems to have less and less capacity

If your battery is new, or if your are using it for the first time, you will need to calibrate it prior to using it.

As your battery ages, the maximum capacity that it can hold naturally decreases, and even the best maintained batteries

eventually need to be retired. Consider replacing the battery if you are not getting the usage you need from it.

Display

The display performance is slow

The temperature may be too cold. Move the computer to a warmer operating environment.

I can’t read the display

Adjust the brightness level using FN+F6 and FN+F7.

The automatic power-saving mode may have shut off (suspended) the computer. Press any key to resume.

If the display brightness is unreadable after a resume or reboot but is easily adjusted with FN+F6 and FN+F7 you may have set

Stealth mode in the Setup Utility. If you disable Stealth mode the display and backlight will operate normally.

The underlined, inverse, and hypertext characters are difficult to read on the screen

Change the color scheme. From the Start Menu select Settings, Control Panel, choose Display, and then tap the Appearance tab to

make changes to the color scheme.

I can’t see the cursor while using the DOS editor

Press FN+INSERT to change from insert mode to overwrite mode to enable a block cursor. When it defaults to insert mode, the

DOS editor uses an underline cursor which is less visible than the block cursor for overwrite mode.

The display appears to have random pixels darkened after scrolling

Contact your supervisor or your organization’s help desk for information about correcting this problem.

I changed my display resolution, but I see no difference on the screen

Try restarting your computer for the changes to take effect.
