82 Ascentia M Series User’s Manual
Certain software programs “hang” during operations when
there is no interaction with the keyboard or peripheral
devices.
Your computer may be in standby or rest mode. Tap the
touchpad to resume from standby or press the power button
to resume from rest.
A serial or parallel device attached to a serial or parallel port
on the rear panel of the system unit does not work properly.
Check the attached device. Is it turned on? Is the cable
properly installed between the device and the port? If you
are using an operating system that is not plug and play
compliant, make sure the Plug & Play O/S field in System
Setup is set to No. Check to make sure that the port is
enabled in System Setup.
A PC Card does not work correctly.
Make sure that the PC Card is inserted right side up in the
PC Card slot. Check that the card is inserted fully into the
slot. If you are using a PC Card modem, check the modem
cable connections. Try setting the Plug & Play OS field in
System Setup to Yes to enable Windows 95 to autosense an
older PC Card.
The System Setup settings are not retained when you turn off
the computer.
The CMOS battery inside the computer may need to be
replaced. The CMOS battery provides power to save the
system BIOS information when the computer is turned off.
Normally, the CMOS battery lasts for several years. Do not
attempt to open the chassis and replace this battery yourself
or your warranty is void. Have an authorized AST service
center replace the CMOS battery.
