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 standby mode. Press the power button to resume from standby mode. If the display is blank and the

power light-emitting diode (LED) 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 light is blinking, 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.
