Troubleshooting
The section describes situations that you may encounter while using the computer and provides
troubleshooting steps.
Before you begin troubleshooting, verify the following items:
- If you have added or removed a program or a hardware before the problem appeared,
make sure that your computer has met all the pre-installation requirements, review if the
installation procedures are correct, and check if the program or hardware is properly
installed.
- If an error message appears while the program or hardware is in use, write down the
message and follow the on-screen instruction if any. For further details, refer to the docu-
mentation or user manual of the program or hardware.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Power problems
Symptom
Possible solution
I have pressed the
Power button, but my
computer cannot start
up.
• Check the power cable and power adapter are connected.
• Check the Power button indicator.
- If the indicator does not light up, your computer is not being
supplied power from an external power source via the power
adapter. Check the connection between your computer, the
power adapter, and the nearby outlet.
- If the indicator flashes in blue, your computer has entered
Sleep mode. Move your mouse or click any button on the
keyboard to wake the system.
- If the Power button indicator lights up in blue, the computer
is being supplied normally with power. Reconnect the power
adapter and restart the system.
• Check if the LCD display power indicator stays in blue.
- If the indicator flashes white, your monitor has entered Sleep
mode. Press the Power button on the front panel to turn on
the screen.
• Certain operating system files may be damaged or missing. If
so, you have to back up all your data first, and then recover
your system. Check the supplied System Recovery DVD and
Driver CD for details.

Troubleshooting
Internet access problems
Symptom
Possible solution
My computer cannot
access a modem or a
wireless router or
access point.
• Verify that you have performed a correct pre-installation for
your Internet connection type.
- If you are using a wireless Internet connection, make sure
that your computer has installed a wireless LAN card in order
to connect with a wireless router or access point.
For details about setting up your wireless router or access
point, refer to the documentation or user manual of the unit.
For details about setting up your modem, contact your ISP
(Internet service provider) for assistance.
- If you are using a wired Internet connection, make sure that
your computer is using an Ethernet cable, instead of a tele-
phone cable, to connect with the broadband modem which is
purchased from your ISP.
For assistance setting up your modem, contact your ISP.
The wireless Internet
connection is unsta-
ble.
• Check the wireless interference.
- Reset your wireless router or access point to factory defaults
and reconfigure the settings.
For details about setting your wireless router or access point,
refer to the documentation or user manual of the unit.
- Update the firmware of your wireless router or access point
to the latest version available on the manufacturer's site.
- Try moving the wireless router or access point in a central
position. A couple of feet will sometimes make a big differ-
ence in signal strength.
- If you are using an access point, try changing the channel, as
another access point may be interfering.
- Contact your ISP to ensure they are not experiencing techni-
cal problems.

When a CD or DVD is
inserted into the opti-
cal disc drive, there is
no response.

• Check if the disc is properly inserted into the optical drive, with
the label side facing toward you and the disc is centered in the
tray.
• Try another CD or DVD (preferably an unused one) to test if
the optical disc drive works well.
• If you are inserting a DVD, check the region of the disc. It may
not comply with the region set for your optical disc drive.
Check the DVD package to learn if the region code is
compatible with your optical disc drive.
• Try using other programs to read the data on your CD or DVD.
The inserted disc
doesn’t slide out when
I press the Eject but-
ton.
• Ensure the computer is on.
• Ensure the optical disc driver indicator is on while you press
the Eject button on the optical disc drive.
• Click Start > Computer, right-click the disc drive icon, and
then select Eject from the menu to remove the disc.
• Try restarting your computer and then try pressing the Eject
button on the optical disc drive again.
• If the Eject button does not work, open the tray by inserting a
sharp, pointed object into the hole next to the Eject button.
I cannot write (burn) a
disc (CD or DVD).
• Check if the disc is properly inserted into the optical drive, with
the label side facing toward you and the disc is centered in the
tray.
• Check the inserted disc is not dirty, bent, or damaged. If
recording stops during a recording session, the disc probably
is damaged. Please remove it and insert a different disc.
• Ensure that the inserted disc is writable, and it must be blank
or appendable (with space to add more data files).
• Try writing the disc with other recording programs as some
programs cannot write certain disc types.
- If you intend to write data to DVD, make sure that you are
recording the data with a DVD burning program.
• Select a slower write speed if you are not under a time
constraint.
• Check if the added data files exceed the available space on
the inserted writable disc.
• Ensure that there is enough space available on the hard disk
drive to store the temporary files that are created during the
writing process.
- Click Start > Computer to check the space available on your
hard disk drive.

Sound and microphone problems
Symptom
Possible solution
I hear noise when con-
necting a headphone
to the computer.
• Check if the earphone works well.
- Connect the earphone to other devices, such as a radio, to
see if you can still hear that noise. If the noise persists, the
earphone may be out of order.
• If you hear the noise only while inserting the earphone to the
computer, it is resulted from high instantaneous current. This
is a normal phenomenon.
I do not hear sound
from the built-in speak-
ers.
• Check if the speaker volume is set too low or is muted.
- Click the volume icon,
, in the system tray to check the
Windows volume controls.
- If you are using a program which has its own volume control,
ensure the volume level is properly set.
• Unplug your headphone and external microphone if they have
been connected to your computer.
The external micro-
phone does not work.
• Check if the external microphone is properly connected into
the microphone jack on your computer.
Certain audio files can-
not be played, and the

reader slot.
• Ensure that the memory card is one of the supported types.
• Try restarting your computer.
- When the computer is turned on, insert the card again.
- Never insert or remove your memory cards when they are
still in use, as this can cause loss of data or permanent dam-
age to the card.
USB devices quit
working unexpectedly.
• Check if your USB devices are turned on.
- Some USB devices are designed to conserve battery power
by turning off automatically after a few minutes of inactivity.
For example, your digital camera. Check if the connected
USB device is turned on.
• Check if the USB port is working well.
- Try using another USB port to connect your USB device and
see if the device is detected.

mouse, to the USB port to check if the port is working well.
• If you are using a USB hub, the power requirements of the
USB port may be exceeded.
