5 Solving System Problems ! Solutions to Common Problems ! How to Clean the Mouse
You may occasionally encounter a problem with the system. In most cases, the problem is one that you can solve yourself. The system has a built-in program that automatically checks its components when the system is powered on. If there is a problem, the system displays an error message. If this happens, follow any instructions on the screen. If screen messages do not help or an error message does not appear, refer to the information in this chapter to help determine and solve the problem.
! Operating system not found error message displays when the system is started. If you left a CD in the CD-ROM drive, your system might not be able to boot. Try removing the CD and rebooting. ! System does not boot and error message displayed on screen. Run the BIOS Setup Utility (see Chapter 3). Check that the parameters are set correctly, particularly if you just installed an option. ! System emits continuous beeps. Turn the system off, wait at least five seconds, and turn the system on.
! System shuts off instead of going into sleep mode. You pressed and held in the power/sleep button for more than four seconds. For sleep mode, press in the button and immediately release. ! System does not shut off after pressing the power/sleep button. You might not have pressed and held in the power/sleep button long enough. Press in the button and hold for four seconds or more before releasing. ! System password forgotten. Clear the password and reset it.
LCD Panel Problems Check the following problems to see the possible cause and solution. ! Screen is dark or the display is hard to read. Adjust the LCD panel brightness control setting. (Note that the brightness setting returns to the system default setting on power down.) Press a key or move the mouse to take the system out of the power management mode. Check that the system AC adapter power cable is connected to a live power outlet.
CD-ROM Drive Problems Check the following problems to see the possible cause and solution. ! The system does not see the drive. The drive designation is wrong and should be changed. The drive designation depends upon the storage device configuration in your system. To find out what drive designation letter is assigned to your drive, double click My Computer on the Windows 98, Windows 2000, or Windows NT 4.0 desktop. The drive designation is below the drive icon.
Speaker Problems Check the following problems to see the possible cause and solution. ! Speaker volume is too low. Adjust the volume control on the side of the system unit. If the volume is still too low, adjust the volume through the system software. See your Windows Multimedia online help. ! No sound. If using a headset, check that it is plugged in. ! Sound is only coming from one speaker. Balance the speaker output by adjusting the balance in the sound software.
Typical mouse ball cover A – Mouse Ball Cover 3. Rotate the ball cover counterclockwise and remove the cover. 4. Turn the mouse over so that the cover and ball fall into your palm. 5. Clean the mouse as follows. ! Use tap water, or tap water and a mild detergent, to clean the mouse ball. ! Use a clean, lint-free cloth to dry the ball. ! Blow into the mouse socket to remove remaining dust or lint. Use a Q-tip to remove accumulations of dirt. 6. Gently put the ball back into the mouse. 7.

A Setting Up a Healthy Work Environment ! Making Your Computer Work for You ! Arrange Your Equipment ! Adjust Your Chair ! Adjust Your Input Devices ! Adjust Your Monitor ! Vary Your Workday ! Pre-existing Conditions and Psychosocial Factors ! Checking Your Comfort: How Do You Measure Up?
Prolonged or improper use of a computer workstation may pose a risk of serious injury. To reduce your risk of injury, set up and use your computer in the manner described in this appendix. Contact a doctor if you experience pain, tenderness, swelling, burning, cramping, stiffness, throbbing, weakness, soreness, tingling and/or numbness in the hands, wrists, arms, shoulders, neck, back, and/or legs. Making Your Computer Work for You Computers are everywhere.
Arrange Your Equipment Arrange your equipment so that you can work in a natural and relaxed position. Place items that you use frequently within easy reach. Adjust your workstation setup to the proper height (as described in this appendix) by lowering the table or stand that holds your computer equipment or raising the seat height of your chair. To create more desk space, you can put your computer base on the floor.
Adjust Your Chair Your chair should be adjustable and stable. Vary your posture throughout the day. Check the following: ! Keep your body in a relaxed yet upright position. The backrest of your chair should support the inward curve of your back. ! Use the entire seat and backrest to support your body. Tilt the backrest slightly backwards. The angle formed by your thighs and back should be 90° or more. ! Your seat depth should allow your lower back to comfortably contact the backrest.
! Extend your lower legs slightly so that the angle between your thighs and lower legs is 90° or more. ! Place your feet flat on the floor. Only use a footrest when attempts to adjust your chair and workstation fail to keep your feet flat. ! Be sure that you have adequate clearance between the top of your thighs and the underside of your workstation. ! Use armrests or forearm supports to support your forearms.
Adjust Your Input Devices Follow these points in positioning your keyboard and mouse. ! Position your keyboard directly in front of you. Avoid reaching when using your keyboard or mouse. ! If you use a mouse, position it at the same height as the keyboard and next to the keyboard. Keep your wrists straight and use your entire arm when moving a mouse. Do not grasp the mouse tightly. Grasp the mouse lightly and loosely.
! Type with your hands and wrists floating above the keyboard. Use a wrist pad only to rest your wrists between typing. Avoid resting your wrists on sharp edges. ! Type with your wrists straight. Instead of twisting your wrists sideways to press hard-to-reach keys, move your whole arm. Keep from bending your wrists, hands, or fingers sideways. ! Press the keys gently; do not bang them. Keep your shoulders, arms, hands, and fingers relaxed.
Adjust Your Monitor Correct placement and adjustment of the monitor can reduce eye, shoulder, and neck fatigue. Check the following when you position the monitor. ! Adjust the monitor height so that the top of the screen is at or slightly below eye level. Your eyes should look slightly downward when viewing the middle of the screen. ! Position your monitor no closer than 12 inches and no farther away than 28 inches from your eyes. The optimal distance is between 14 and 18 inches.
! Position the monitor at a 90° angle to windows and other light sources to minimize glare and reflections. Adjust the monitor tilt so that ceiling lights do not reflect on your screen. ! If reflected light makes it hard for you to see your screen, use an antiglare filter. ! Clean your monitor regularly. Use a lint-free, non-abrasive cloth and a non-alcohol, neutral, non-abrasive cleaning solution or glass cleaner to minimize dust.
Vary Your Workday If you use your computer for prolonged periods, follow these instructions. A-10 ! Vary your tasks throughout the day. ! Take frequent short breaks that involve walking, standing, and stretching. During these breaks, stretch muscles and joints that were in one position for an extended period of time. Relax muscles and joints that were active. ! Use a timer or reminder software to remind you to take breaks.
