Video Problems
The built-in display is blank
when you turn on your Life-
Book notebook. The notebook is set for
an external monitor
only. Press [F10] while holding down the [Fn] key to change where to
send your display video. When you press the keys you will step to
the next choice. The choices, in order are: built-in display only,
external monitor only, both built-in display and external monitor.
The display angle and
brightness settings are
not adequate for your
lighting conditions. Move the display and the brightness control until you have ade-
quate visibility. Pressing either the [F6] or [F7] keys while holding
down the [Fn] key also allows you to change the brightness level
of the display.
The power manage-
ment timeouts may be
set for very short inter-
vals and you failed to
notice the display come
on and go off again. Press a keyboard button or move the mouse to restore operation.
If that fails, push the Suspend/Resume button. (The display may
be shut off by Sleep mode, Auto Suspend or Video Timeout)
