High-precision and advanced technologies are necessary in the production of color liquid
crystal displays (color LCDs). Therefore, if 0.002% or less of the picture elements either
fail to light or remain constantly lit (that is, more than 99.998% of elements are function-
ing properly), no defect is considered to exist.
Changing the number of colors or resolution of the display may affect the screen. Restart
the computer.
When an external display not compatible with the power saving mode is used with the
computer, the display may not function correctly when the computer enters the power
saving mode. In such cases, turn off the power to the external display.
Try changing the display by pressing Fn + F3 .
If you continue to experience problems, try changing the display destination in the fol-
lowing menu:
Windows XP
[start] - [ Control Panel ] - [ Other Control Panel Options] - [ Inte
l(R)
Extreme Graphics] -
[ Devices]
The display destination cannot be switched while an MPEG file is playing. Stop playing
the MPEG file before switching the display destination.
Is the application a non-Unicode program? When non-Unicode programs are run on
