Troubleshooting
Heat Problems
Your notebook normally gets warm during routine operation.
If the Notebook Gets Abnormally Hot
■ Always set the notebook on a flat surface, so that air can flow
freely around and underneath it.
■ Make sure the air vents on the bottom and sides of the
notebook are clear.
■ Keep in mind that games and other programs that drive CPU
usage toward 100 percent can increase the notebook
temperature.
Infrared Problems
If You Have Problems with Infrared
Communications
■ Make sure the line of sight between the 2 infrared ports is not
blocked, and that the ports face each other as squarely as
possible. (The notebook infrared port is located on the front
of the notebook.) The ports should be no more than one meter
apart.
■ Check settings in the Device Manager:
1. Select Start > Control Panel > Performance and
Maintenance > System.
2. On the Hardware tab, select Device Manager and expand
the infrared devices. Select the infrared port and make
sure that the device is enabled.
■ Make sure only one application is using the infrared port.
