The computer display has a native resolution of 1400 x 1050 (SXGA+).
If you set the resolution lower than this, the screen expands to fill the
computer display. Right-click on your Windows desktop and select
Properties to bring up the Display Properties dialog box. Then click
on the Settings tab to make sure that the resolution is set to the
appropriate resolution. Resolutions lower than the specified
resolution are not full-screen on the computer or on an external
monitor.
No audio is heard from the computer.
Check the following:
The volume may be muted. In Windows, look at the volume
control (speaker) icon on the taskbar. If it is crossed-out, click on
the icon and deselect the Mute option.
The speakers may be turned off. Press Fn-F8 to turn the speakers
on (this hot key also turns the speakers off).
The volume level may be too low. In Windows, look at the volume
control icon on the taskbar. You can also use the volume control
knob on the left panel of the computer to adjust the volume. See
Adjusting the volume on page 22 for more detail.
If headphones, earphones or external speakers are connected to
the line-out port on the computers right panel, the internal
speakers automatically turn off.
I want to eject the optical drive tray without turning on the power. I
cannot eject the optical drive tray.
There is a mechanical eject button on the optical drive. Simply insert
the tip of a pen or paperclip and push to eject the tray.
