TROUBLESHOOTING

Your notebook PC is sturdy and subject to few problems in the field. However, you may encoun-
ter simple setup or operating problems that you can solve on the spot, or problems with periph-
eral devices, that you can solve by replacing the device. The information in this section helps you
isolate and resolve some of these straightforward problems and identify failures that require
service.

Identifying the Problem

If you encounter a problem, go through the following procedure before pursuing complex
troubleshooting:

1. Turn off your notebook.
2. Make sure the AC adapter is plugged into your notebook and to an active AC power source.
3. Make sure that any devices connected to the external connectors are plugged in properly. You

can also disconnect such devices, thus eliminating them as possible causes of failure.

4. Turn on your notebook. Make sure it has been off at least 10 seconds before you turn it on.
5. Go through the boot sequence.
6. If the problem has not been resolved, contact your support representative.

Before you place the call, you should have the following information ready so that the customer
support representative can provide you with the fastest possible solution:

Product name

Product configuration number

Product serial number

Purchase date

Conditions under which the problem occurred

Any error messages that have occurred

Hardware configuration

Type of device connected, if any

See the Configuration Label on the bottom of your notebook for configuration and serial numbers.
