Troubleshooting

Dealing with Problems (Summary)

No display after powering on

The power has not been
turned off, but after a cer-
tain period of time, there is
no display

When the battery pack is
used, the screen is darker
than when the AC adaptor
is connected
The LCD brightness changes
a number of times when the
AC adaptor is disconnected
Image colors are not repro-
duced as expected when dis-
playing photographs or
other images
An afterimage appears (e.g.,
green, red, and blue dots re-
main on the display) or there
are dots not displaying the
correct colors

The screen becomes disor-
dered

When there is no display to an external display,

• Check your cable connection to the external display.
• Confirm your display is powered on.
• Check the settings for your external display.

The display destination may be set to the external display.
Try changing the display destination by pressing Fn + F3 .
If you want to switch the display destination repeatedly by pressing Fn

+ F3 , make

sure that the display destination has switched completely each time before pressing
Fn + F3 again.
Press Fn + F2 and adjust the brightness.
Has the computer been set to the power-saving mode?

To resume operation of your computer from the condition the power of the display is off

(for energy conservation purposes), press any key unrelated to the direct triggering of a
selection, like Ctrl .
To save power, your computer may have automatically entered the standby mode (power
indicator blinks green) or hibernation mode (power indicator turns off). In such cases,
press the power switch.
Press Fn + F2

and adjust the brightness. Note, however, that when the brightness is

increased, the battery running time will become shorter.
Brightness can be set to separate levels for when the AC adaptor is connected and when
it is disconnected.
Intel(R) Display Power Saving Technology (

“Computing on the Road”) is

active and automatically changes the LCD brightness.

We recommend removing the check mark from [Intel(R) Display Power Saving Technol-
ogy]. (

“Computing on the Road”)

If an image is displayed for a prolonged period of time, an afterimage may appear. This is
not a malfunction. The afterimage will disappear when a different screen is displayed.
High-precision and advanced technologies are necessary in the production of color liquid
crystal displays (color LCDs). Therefore, if 0.002% or less of the picture elements either
fail to light or remain constantly lit (that is, more than 99.998% of elements are function-
ing properly), no defect is considered to exist.
The screen display may become distorted if the resolution or number of colors is changed,
or if an external display is connected or disconnected while the computer is operating.
Restart the computer.
