Basic Hints and Tips

Many of the following may seem obvious but they are often the solution to a problem when your computer ap-
pears not to be working. 

Power

 - Is the computer actually plugged into a working electrical outlet? If plugged into a 

power strip

make sure it is actually working. Check the 

LED Power & Communication Indicators

 (see 

“LED Indica-

tors” on page 1 - 7

) to see the computer’s power status.

Connections

 - Check all the 

cables

 to make sure that there are no 

loose connections

 anywhere.

Power Savings

 - Make sure that the system is not in 

Hibernate

 or 

Sleep

 mode by pressing the keys config-

ured in your P

ower Options

 (see 

“Power-Saving States” on page 3 - 6

), the 

Fn + F4 

key combination, or 

power button to wake-up the system.

Brightness

 - Check the brightness of the screen by pressing the 

Fn

 + 

F8 and F9 

keys to adjust the bright-

ness.

Display Choice

 - Press 

Fn

 + 

F7

 to make sure the system is not set to “external only” display.

Boot Drive

 - Make sure there are no 

optical media and/or USB storage devices

 in any connected drive 

(this is a common cause of the message “

Invalid system disk - Replace the disk, and then press any key

” / 

Remove disks or other media. Press any key to restart

”).
