Chapter 10: Troubleshooting
■ Change the display settings.
■ Move your convertible tablet PC away from sources of electrical
interference, such as televisions, unshielded speakers, microwaves,
fluorescent lights, and metal beams or shelves.
The display has pixels that are always dark or too bright
This condition is normal and inherent in the TFT technology used in
active-matrix LCD screens. Gateway’s inspection standards keep these to
a minimum. If you feel these pixels are unacceptably numerous or dense
on your display, contact Gateway Customer Care to identify whether a
repair or replacement is justified based on the number of pixels affected.
The display is blank
■ Adjust the brightness using the system keys. For more information,
see “System key combinations” on page 35.
■ Make sure the convertible tablet PC is not in standby or hibernate
mode. For more information, see “Changing power modes” on
page 82.
■ The convertible tablet PC may be sending its display to an external
monitor or television. Press F
N + F3 several time to toggle through
the attached display, an external monitor, or both. Press
C
TRL+ALT+F3 to switch the output from a television to the attached
display.
DVD drives
Your convertible tablet PC does not recognize a disc
■ The disc may not be seated correctly in the tray. When you place a
disc on the tray, make sure that you press the disc firmly onto the
spindle so the retainers hold the disc in place.
■ The DVD drive may not be inserted completely into the modular
bay. Press the module into the bay, then try to access the disc again.
