Solving Basic Problems

If your OmniBook has a problem starting, find the symptom below that matches
your situation. Try the suggestions one at a time.
If the OmniBook turns off immediately after it turns on
Battery power is probably extremely low. Plug in the ac adapter, or turn off the
OmniBook and insert a fresh battery pack.
If the OmniBook stops responding
Try waiting a few moments, then try turning it off and on.
Press to reboot.
CTRL+ALT+DEL
If nothing happens, insert a ball-point pen tip or other slender object into the
reset-button hole in the left side of the case, below the ac adapter socket. Push
in momentarily—the system should reset and reboot.
If the OmniBook doesn't respond at turn-on
Connect the ac adapter.
Press On/Off to try turning on the unit.
Insert a ball-point pen tip or other slender object into the reset-button hole in
the left side of the case, below the ac adapter socket. Push in momentarily—the
system should reset and reboot.
If you get no response, remove the battery and ac adapter and press the reset
button again—then plug in the ac adapter and try resetting again. If you still get
no response, the unit requires service.
If the OmniBook doesn't reboot successfully, see the next symptom.
