Troubleshooting
The display goes blank by
itself after you have been
using it.
(continued)
The notebook has gone into
Video Timeout, Standby Mode,
or Hibernate Mode because you
have not used it for a period of
time.
Press a button on the keyboard, or move the mouse to
restore operation. If that fails, push the Suspend/
Resume button. Check your power management
settings, or close your applications and go to the Power
Savings menu of the setup utility to adjust the timeout
values to better suit your operation needs. See “BIOS
Setup Utility” on page 32.
The display does not close. A foreign object, such as a paper
clip, is stuck between the display
and the keyboard.
Remove all foreign objects from the keyboard.
The display has bright or
dark spots.
If the spots are very tiny and few
in number, this is normal for a
large LCD display.
This is normal; do nothing.
If the spots are numerous or
large enough to interfere with
your operation needs.
The display needs technical diagnosis; contact your
support representative.
The application display uses
only a portion of your screen
and is surrounded by a dark
frame.
You are running an application
that does not support the lower
pixel resolution and display
compression is enabled.
When compensation is disabled, a clearer but smaller
display for applications that use lower than the system
resolution will result. You can fill the screen but have
less resolution by changing your compensation setting.
