Troubleshooting
If the TouchPad Does Not Work
Press the TouchPad on-off button to turn on the light.
Do not touch the TouchPad while the notebook is rebooting
or resuming from Standby mode. If you do, try the following:
press a key on the keyboard to restore normal operation.
If an external mouse is connected, the built-in pointing
devices are normally disabled. You can change this setting
with the BIOS Setup utility. See “Configuring Your
Notebook” in this chapter.
Restart the notebook by selecting Start > Turn Off
Computer > Restart.
Performance Problems
If the Notebook Stops Responding
Press ctrl+alt+del and use Task Manager to end the application
that is not responding.
Press the power button for at least 4 seconds to turn off and
reset the notebook. Unsaved data will be lost. Then press the
power button again to turn the notebook back on.
If nothing happens, insert the tip of a paper clip into the
reset button on the bottom of the notebook. Then press
the power button to turn the notebook back on.
To avoid lockup problems, avoid turning the notebook off or
putting it into Standby while graphic-intensive applications
are running.
