• Advanced power management (APM) is probably disabled—in OmniBook Tools
click Power, then select one of the options. If you select Custom, make sure the
Power Management option is enabled.
If the battery pack doesn’t charge or stops charging
• Check that the battery is fully installed and locked in place.
• Turn off the OmniBook, then check that the battery contacts are clean and that
the ac adapter cables are fully plugged in.
• Move the OmniBook away from any nearby heat source. Unplug the ac adapter
and allow the battery to cool down. An elevated battery temperature prevents
charging or turns off the battery.
If the OmniBook won’t undock
• Try turning it on and then undocking.
If your system password doesn’t work
• Check whether Num Lock is off. Try changing it.
• If you’ve forgotten your password, have your OmniBook at hand and call
Hewlett-Packard at the phone number in the Service and Support booklet.
If the screen is difficult to read
• Try adjusting the display. See “To adjust the display.”
• If the OmniBook is cold, allow it to warm up.
Lockup Problems
If an application stops responding
• Press CTRL+ALT+DEL to reboot. If nothing happens, see “To reset the
OmniBook.”
If a screen saver causes lockup
• If you’ve previously set up an OmniBook password, you should delete the
OmniBook password (use the Password icon in OmniBook Tools). Screen savers
conflict with password protection, and together they can lock up the OmniBook.
