Dealing with Problems (Summary)
Check the cable connection for the AC adaptor.
Check to see if a fully charged battery is properly inserted.
Remove the battery pack and disconnect the AC adaptor, then connect them again.
The computer may not operate when certain USB devices are connected. Disconnect the
USB device, or set [Legacy USB Support] to [Disable] in [Advanced] menu of the Setup
Utility.
Input your Supervisor Password or User Password. If you have forgotten it, contact your
technical support office ( page 38).

Press F9 in the Setup Utility ( “Setup Utility”). This will restore the Setup
Utility’s settings to their default values (except the password settings). Then, the Setup
Utility must be run once again for you to input the appropriate operating environment
settings. (The processing speed depends on the application software used, so this opera-
tion may not cause the processing speed to increase.)
If operations slow down during streaming playback, try changing the number of colors of
the display.
You can set the date and time using the following menu:
Windows XP
[start] - [Control Panel] - [Date, Time, Language, and Regional Options] - [Date and
Time]
Windows 2000
[Start] - [Settings] - [Control Panel] - [Date/Time]
If you continue to experience problems, the internal battery maintaining the clock may
need to be replaced. Contact your technical support office ( page 38).
When the computer is connected to a LAN, confirm the date and time of the server.
This computer will not correctly recognize the date and time starting from the year 2100
A.D.
Even when a password has been set in the Setup Utility, [Enter Password] does not
appear when the computer resumes from the standby or hibernation mode.
If you want to use the security function when using the standby or hibernation mode, use
the Windows password as follows:
Windows XP
Select the account to change in [start] - [Control Panel] - [User Accounts] and set the
password, then add the check mark for [Prompt for password when computer resumes
from standby] in [Control Panel] - [Performance and Maintenance] - [Power Options] -
[Advanced].
Windows 2000
Set the password in [Start] - [Settings] - [Control Panel] - [Users and Passwords], then
add the check mark for [Prompt for password when computer goes off standby] in
[Control Panel] - [Power Options] - [Advanced].
This means a floppy disk that does not contain system startup information has been left in
the floppy disk drive. Remove the floppy disk, and press any key.
This message may appear when certain USB devices are connected. Remove the USB
device, or set [Legacy USB Support] in [Advanced] menu of the Setup Utility to [Dis-
able].
If the message still appears even after trying the above two measures, this may be an
indication that some type of hard disk failure has occurred. Contact your technical sup-
port office ( page 38).
When a problem occurs, refer to this page. The “Reference Manual” also contains detailed information. If a problem appears to be
related to a software application, read the software related manual. If you still cannot troubleshoot the problem, contact your
technical support office. ( page 38) You can use the PC Information Viewer to check the computer’s usage status. (
