Chapter 7 Caring for the Computer Taking good care of your computer will ensure a trouble-free operation and reduce the risk of damage to your computer. This chapter gives you guidelines covering areas such as protecting, storing, cleaning, and traveling.
Protecting the Computer To safeguard the integrity of your computer data as well as the computer itself, you can protect the computer in several ways as described in this section. Using an Anti-Virus Strategy You can install a virus-detecting program to monitor potential viruses that could damage your files.
Using the Cable Lock You can use a Kensington-type cable lock to protect your computer against theft. The cable lock is available in most computer stores. To use the lock, loop the lock cable around a stationary object such as a table. Insert the lock to the Kensington lock hole and turn the key to secure the lock. Store the key in a safe place.
Taking Care of the Computer Location Guidelines For optimal performance, use the computer where the recommended temperature is between 0 C (32 F) and 35 C (95 F). Select models support -20 C (-4 F) low temperature. Avoid placing the computer in a location subject to high humidity, extreme temperatures, mechanical vibration, direct sunlight, or heavy dust. Using the computer in extreme environments for long periods can result in product deterioration and a shortened product life.
General Guidelines Do not place heavy objects on top of the computer when it is closed as this may damage the display. The screen surface is easily scratched. Avoid touching it with a sharp object such as a pen or pencil. To maximize the life of the backlight in the display, allow the backlight to automatically turn off as a result of power management. Avoid using a screen saver or other software that prevents the power management from working.
Battery Pack Guidelines Recharge the battery pack when it is nearly discharged. When recharging, make sure that the battery pack is fully charged. Doing so may avoid harm to the battery pack.
– avoid installing or removing the battery pack when the computer is in Sleep mode. Abruptly removing the battery pack may cause loss of data or the computer may become unstable. – avoid touching the battery pack terminals or damage may occur, thereby causing improper operation to it or the computer. The computer’s input voltage and surrounding temperature will directly affect the battery pack’s charge and discharge time: – charging time will be prolonged when the computer is turned on.
Use the touchscreen within the intended area only. The display area and touchscreen operating area is the same. Using it beyond the allowed area may cause damage to the display and result in improper operation. Do not use excessive force on the display. Avoid moving the computer while holding the display or twisting the display. Avoid placing objects on top of the display as this may cause the glass to break thereby damaging the display.
When Traveling Before traveling with your computer, make a backup of your hard disk data into flash disks or other storage devices. As an added precaution, bring along an extra copy of your important data. Make sure that the battery pack is fully charged. Make sure that the computer is turned off and the top cover is securely closed. Make sure that all the connector covers are closed completely to ensure the waterproof integrity.
Chapter 8 Troubleshooting Computer problems can be caused by hardware, software, or both. When you encounter any problem, it might be a typical problem that can easily be solved. This chapter tells you what actions to take when solving common computer problems.
Preliminary Checklist Here are helpful hints to follow before you take further actions when you encounter any problem: Try to isolate which part of the computer is causing the problem. Make sure that you turn on all peripheral devices before turning on the computer. If an external device has a problem, make sure that the cable connections are correct and secure. Make sure that the configuration information is properly set in the BIOS Setup program.
Solving Common Problems Battery Problems The battery does not charge (Battery Charge indicator does not light amber). Make sure that the AC adapter is properly connected. Make sure that the battery is not too hot or cold. Allow time for the battery pack to return to room temperature. Make sure that the battery pack is installed correctly. Make sure that the battery terminals are clean. The operating time of a fully charged battery becomes shorter.
Make sure that the other device is not in “Hidden” mode. Make sure that both devices are compatible. Display Problems Nothing appears on the screen. During operation, the screen may automatically turn off as a result of power management. Press any key to see if the screen comes back. The brightness level might be too low. Increase brightness. The display output might be set to an external device.
DVD Drive Problems The DVD drive cannot read a disc. Make sure that the disc is correctly seated in the tray, with the label facing up. Make sure that the disc is not dirty. Clean the disc with a disc cleaning kit, available in most computer stores. Make sure that the computer supports the disc or the files contained. You cannot eject a disc. The disc is not properly seated in the drive.
Check the cables or power cords for correct connections. For an external device that has its own power switch, make sure that the power is turned on. Hard Disk Drive Problems The hard disk drive error message appears on the screen. The hard disk drive has defects. Ask your dealer for help. The hard disk drive operations seem slow. The data files stored on the hard disk drive may be fragmented. Use a tool such as Window’s Disk Defragmenter to defragment the files.
The numeric keypad is disabled. Make sure that the Num Lock is switched on. (Check if the Num Lock Indicator glows or not.) The touchpad does not work, or the pointer is difficult to control with the touchpad. Make sure that the touchpad is clean. LAN Problems I cannot access the network. Make sure that the LAN cable is properly connected to the RJ-45 connector and the network hub. Make sure that the network configuration is appropriate.
The computer does not enter Sleep or Hibernation mode immediately. If the computer is performing an operation, it normally waits for the operation to finish. The computer does not resume from Sleep or Hibernation mode. The computer automatically enters Sleep or Hibernation mode when the battery pack is empty. Do any one of the following: Connect the AC adapter to the computer. Replace the empty battery pack with a fully charged one.
If using an external speaker, make sure that the speaker is properly connected. Distorted sound is produced. Make sure that the volume control is not set too high or too low. In most cases, a high setting can cause the audio electronics to distort the sound. The sound system does not record. Adjust the playback or recording sound levels. The external microphone or audio device does not work. Make sure that the microphone is connected to the proper connector on the computer.
battery power is too low for the heating to complete, the computer may not start up. In case the computer fails to start up, turn off the computer and leave it in room temperature for about an hour before trying to turn it on again. When you turn on the computer, it stops after POST. Restart your computer. WLAN Problems I cannot use the WLAN feature. Make sure that the mini PCI-E WLAN card is correctly installed. Make sure that the WLAN feature is turned on. Transmission quality is poor.
Your computer is not recognizing changes. Restart the computer. Make sure that the IP address or subnet mask setting is correct. I cannot communicate with the computer in the network when Infrastructure mode is configured. Make sure that the Access Point your computer is associated with is powered on and all the LEDs are working properly. If the operating radio channel is in poor quality, change the Access Point and all the wireless station(s) within the BSSID to another radio channel.
After you have performed everything as described above and still have the incorrect date and time every time you turn on the computer, the RTC (Real-Time Clock) battery is at the end of its life. Call an authorized dealer to replace the RTC battery.
Resetting the Computer You may have to reset (reboot) your computer on some occasions when an error occurs and the program you are using hangs up. If the computer operation seems to hang up, first wait. It is possible that the computer is processing data. Periodically check the hard disk drive in-use indicator, if it flashes irregularly, the program may be accessing data and preventing you from using the keyboard.
