Why did my screen go blank?
❑ Your computer screen may go blank if the computer loses power or enters a power saving mode (Sleep or Hibernate). If
the computer is in LCD (Video) Sleep mode, press any key to bring the computer back into Normal mode. See Using the
Power Saving Modes (page 33) for more information.
❑ Make sure your computer is securely plugged into a power source and turned on and the power indicator light is lit.
❑ If your computer is running on battery power, make sure the battery pack is installed properly and is charged. See Using
the Battery Pack (page 22) for more information.
❑ If the display output is directed to the external display, press the Fn+F7 keys. See Combinations and Functions with
the Fn Key (page 40) for more information.
❑ While a performance selection is in progress, your computer screen becomes dark and may temporarily show some noise
or flicker. This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.
