If You Have Display Problems
If your computer is receiving power, but nothing appears on your display (such as light, text, or graphics) or the display image does not appear as
you would expect, try the following measures to resolve the problem:
1. If the display is blank, you may be in suspend, standby, or suspend-to-disk (S2D) mode. Press the power button to resume.
If the display is blank and the power indicator is on, the display may have timed out. In this case, press any key on the keyboard to resume
normal operation.
2. If the low-battery warning occurs, connect the AC adapter to the computer or replace the battery.
3. Adjust the brightness .
4. If your computer is attached to an external monitor, press <Fn><F8> to switch the video image to the display.
Cleaning the Display and Touch Pad
If the display or touch pad become smudged from use, they can be cleaned using a soft, clean cloth slightly dampened with water. Always turn off
the computer before cleaning the display or touch pad.
To clean the display, stroke the cloth across the display in one direction, moving from the top of the display to the bottom.
To clean the touch pad, stroke the cloth gently across the surface of the touch pad. Do not allow water from the cloth to seep between the touch pad
and the top cover of the computer.
Storage Devices
External Media Bay
You can use the external media bay (see Figure 1 ) for the diskette drive that comes with your system. Alternatively, you can install an optional
device (such as a CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, or SuperDisk LS-120 drive) in the bay.
To install a device in the external media bay, perform the following steps:
1. If your computer is running the Dell-installed Microsoft Windows NT® operating system with Softex Docking Services, or if it is running
the Dell-installed Microsoft Windows 95 or Windows 98 operating system with Softex Bay Manager: Right-click the Softex icon (the icon
looks like an open portable computer) in the Windows system tray on the taskbar, and click either Remove or Swap Devices or Insert Bay
Devices
If your computer is not running one of the Softex programs: Save your work, close all open files and application programs, and turn off the
computer.
NOTICE: When a device is not inside the external media bay, it is fragile and must be handled carefully to avoid damage. Do not
press down on it or place a heavy object on top of it. Place extra devices in a travel case to keep them free of dust and liquids. Store
devices in a safe place.
2. If the external media bay contains a device, remove the device as follows:
a. Remove the media bay cable from the back of the bay.
b. Turn the media bay over.
c. Slide the release latch on the bottom of the bay toward the unlock icon.
d. Hold the latch in the unlock position with one hand and pull the device out of the bay with the other hand.
e. Release the latch, and then turn the media bay back over.
NOTE: It takes several seconds to switch the video image.
NOTE: If desired, you can use the media bay cable to connect a device directly to the external media bay connector, without using the
external media bay.
