Troubleshooting the Computer Screen (LCD)

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 screen (LCD)?

You may need to refresh the computer screen. Press the Windows key

and press D twice.

How do I adjust the image on the TV screen?

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

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

The video may not appear on the entire TV screen if your computer resolution is set to 1280 x 1024 pixels or greater. To
change the video resolution, follow these instructions:

If you are using the A/V Out jack, plug the audio-video (AV) cable into the computer before you start the computer.

Also, set the screen resolution to 800 x 600 or 1024 x 768 pixels. (On Windows 2000 models, you can also set the
resolution to 640 x 480 pixels.)

Right-click the desktop, and select Properties from the shortcut menu. The Display Properties dialog box
