- Troubleshooting
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 the sys-
tem’s native pixel reso-
lution and display
compression is
enabled.
Display compression gives a clearer but smaller display for appli-
cations that do not support the system’s native pixel resolution.
You can fill the screen but have less resolution by changing dis-
play compression settings. These settings can be changed in the
Intel GMA control panel.
The Display is dark when
on battery power.
The Power Manage-
ment utility default is set
on low brightness to
conserve power.
Press [Fn] + [F7] to increase brightness or double-click on the bat-
tery gauge and adjust Power Control under battery settings.

external monitor and it does
not display any information.
Your external monitor is
not properly installed.

for that device.
Check your device and operating system documentation and acti-
vate the proper driver.
You have connected an
external monitor and it does
not come on.
