Q:
I made some changes in Setup but they don’t seem to take effect.
A: If you made any changes in Setup, these will only take effect the next
time the system restarts. Here a few ways to restart your notebook:
In Windows 95, click on the Start button and select Shutdown….
Then select the Restart option.
In POST, execute a warm boot (pressing
E
-
D
-
F
).
In POST, close the display and open the display.
Use the reset notch. See Q&A #2.
Q:
Nothing appears on the screen.
A: The notebook’s power management system automatically blanks the
screen to save power. Just press any key to turn the display back on.
If pressing a key does not turn the display back on, two things might be
the cause:
The contrast and/or brightness level might be too low. Press

Z

-
[

Q:
The keyboard does not respond.
A: Try attaching an external keyboard to the PS/2 connector on the
notebook’s rear. If it works, contact your dealer or an authorized
service center as the internal keyboard cable may be loose.
