8.1 Q & A
Q & A lists possible situations that may arise during the use of your
notebook, and gives easy answers and solutions to these questions.
Q: I prefer using an external keyboard and mouse, but both have
PS/2 connectors and there is only one PS/2 port on the notebook.
How do I connect them to the notebook at the same time?
A: To connect two PS/2-type devices to the notebook, you need to use a
PS/2 Y-bridge connector. See section 4.8.2 for details.
Q: I pressed the power switch opened the display but the notebook
does not start or boot-up.
A: Look at the status indicator on the display panel.
If the indicator is not lit, no power is being applied to the notebook.
Check the following:
• If you are running on battery power, it may be low and unable to
power the notebook. Connect the AC adapter to recharge the
battery pack.
• Make sure the AC adapter is plugged in properly to the notebook
and to the power outlet.
If the indicator is lit, check the following:
• If the indicator flashes, the notebook is in standby mode. Press
any key or tap on the touchpad to resume.
• Is a non-bootable (non-system) diskette in the floppy drive?
Remove or replace it with a system diskette and press Ctrl-Alt-
Del to restart the system.
• The operating system files may be damaged or missing. Insert
the startup disk you created during Windows 95 setup into the
floppy drive and press Ctrl-Alt-Del to restart the system. This will
diagnose your system and make necessary fixes.
