Frequently asked questions

How do I maintain CDs and DVDs?

Avoid touching the surface of the disc with your fingers. Fingerprints and dust on the surface of the disc may cause
reading errors.

To clean the disc, hold the edge of the disc, and use a soft cloth to wipe the surface from the center out. If the disc
is badly soiled, moisten a soft cloth with water, wring it out well, and use it to wipe the surface of the disc from the
center out. Wipe off any remaining moisture with a dry, soft cloth.

Do not clean the disc with solvents (such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static spray),
which may damage the disc.

Do not drop or bend the disc.

Why can't I view the entire DVD video display on a TV screen?

You may not be able to view the entire video display on a TV because the display resolution is not properly set. To adjust
the display resolution, see

Selecting a Display Mode

. It is recommended that you adjust the display resolution to 1024 x

768 or smaller, depending on the size of the external display screen.

Why does my computer freeze when I try to read a disc?

The disc your computer is trying to read may be dirty or damaged. Restart the computer, and eject the disc from the optical
drive. Examine the disc for dirt or damage. If the disc is dirty, see

Notes on CD and DVD discs

for instructions on how to

clean it.

Why did the computer (LCD) screen go blank?

Your computer screen may go blank if the computer has lost power or is in a power saving mode (Standby or
Hibernate).

Make sure the computer is plugged into a power source and is turned on. The power indicator on the
computer will be on if the computer is on.

Make sure the battery is inserted properly and is charged.

If the computer is in LCD (Video) Standby mode, press any key to activate the computer screen.

If the display mode is set to external display (such as TV), press and hold the Fn key while you press F7 several
times.

Why don't my changes appear on the computer (LCD) screen?

You may need to refresh the computer screen. Press the Windows key and press the D key twice.

How do I adjust the image on the TV screen?

Use the controls on your external display to adjust the image. See the manual that came with your display for more
information.

How do I change the video resolution on the TV screen?

the video resolution, follow these instructions:

screen resolution to 640 x 480 dots.
