Display Problems
If the OmniBook is on, but the screen is blank
Press the space bar to see if the computer is in Standby mode.
Press Fn+F1 or Fn+F2 to adjust the display.
Press Fn+F5 in case the internal display was disabled. (Do this three times to
return to the state you started from.)
If the OmniBook is cold, allow it to warm up.
If the screen is difficult to read
Check whether the display resolution is set to its default setting, 1024 × 768
(XGA). Check this in Start, Settings, Control Panel, Display, Settings.
Check brightness (Fn+F2 to increase brightness).
Hard Disk Drive Problems
If the OmniBook's hard drive doesn't spin
Check the power source.
Remove and reinsert the hard drive. See page 5-3 for instructions.
If the hard disk makes buzzing or whining noise
Back up the drive immediately.
Check for alternate noise sources, such as the fan or a PC Card drive.
If files are corrupted
Run the McAfee VirusScan program (see page 2-21 for instructions).
