You have connected an external keyboard and the
operating system displays one or more keyboard error
messages.
If you have a second keyboard, try it. If it works, the first
keyboard may be defective or incompatible with your
computer.
Display problems
Here are some typical display problems and their solutions:
The display is blank.
Display Auto Off may have gone into effect. Press any key to
activate the screen.
You may have activated the instant password feature by
pressing
Fn and F1 simultaneously. If you have registered a
password, press the
Enter key, type the password and press Enter.
If no password is registered, press
Enter. The screen reactivates
and allows you to continue working.
If you are using the built-in screen, make sure the display
priority is not set for an external monitor. To do this, press
Fn
and
F5 simultaneously (once). If this does not correct the
problem, press
Fn and F5 simultaneously again to return the
display priority to its previous setting.
If you are using an external monitor:
❖ Check that the monitor is turned on.
❖ Check that the monitor’s power cable is firmly plugged
into a working power outlet.
❖ Check that the cable connecting the external monitor to
the computer is firmly attached.
❖ Try adjusting the contrast and brightness controls on the
external monitor.
❖ Press Fn and F5 simultaneously to make sure the display
priority is not set for the built-in screen.
