The Built-in Display does
not close.
A foreign object, such
as a paper clip, is stuck
between the display and
keyboard.
Remove all foreign objects from the keyboard.
The Built-in Display has
bright or dark spots.
If the spots are very tiny
and few in number, this
is normal for a large
LCD display.
This is normal; do nothing.
If the spots are numer-
ous or large enough to
interfere with your oper-
ation needs.
Display is faulty; contact your support representative.
The application display
uses only a portion of your
screen and is surrounded
by a dark frame.
You are running an
application that does
not support 800 x
600/1024 x 768 pixel
resolution display and
display compression is
enabled.
Display compression gives a clearer but smaller display for appli-
cations that do not support 800 x 600/1024 x 768 pixel resolution.
You can fill the screen but have less resolution by changing dis-
play compression settings, (See Video Features submenu located
within the Advanced menu of the BIOS.
See “BIOS Setup Utility”
on page 45.

tery gauge and adjust Power Control under battery settings.
