168 If Something Goes Wrong<br />
Resolving a hardware conflict<br />
Nothing happens when you press the keys on the external<br />
keyboard.<br />
You may have plugged the external keyboard in while the computer<br />
was turned on. Using the computer’s TouchPad:<br />
1 Click Start, and then click the arrow next to the Lock button in<br />
the lower-right part of the Start menu.<br />
The Shut Down menu appears.<br />
2 Click Restart.<br />
The computer will restart and recognize the device.<br />
Display problems<br />
Here are some typical display problems and their solutions:<br />
The screen is blank.<br />
Display Auto Off may have gone into effect. Press any key to<br />
activate the screen.<br />
You may have activated the instant password feature by pressing<br />
Fn and F1 simultaneously. If you have registered a password, press<br />
any key, type the password and press Enter. If no password is<br />
registered, press any key. The screen reactivates and allows you to<br />
continue working.<br />
If you are using the built-in screen, make sure the display priority is<br />
not set for an external monitor. To do this, press Fn and F5<br />
simultaneously (once). If this does not correct the problem, press Fn<br />
and F5 simultaneously again to return the display priority to its<br />
previous setting.<br />
HINT: Holding the Fn key and pressing the F5 key several times will<br />
advance you through the display options.<br />
If you are using an external monitor:<br />
❖ Check that the monitor is turned on.<br />
❖ Check that the monitor’s power cord/cable is firmly plugged<br />
into a working power outlet.<br />
❖ Check that the cable connecting the external monitor to the<br />
computer is firmly attached.
