Move your finger across the touchpad (2) to move the cursor.
Press the left (1) and right (4) buttons located on the edge of the touchpad to do selection and execution unctions. These two buttons are similar to the left and right buttons on a mouse. Tapping on the touchapd is he same as clicking the left button.
Use the 4-way scroll (3) button to scroll up or down and move left or right a page. This button mimics your ursor pressing on the right scroll bar of Windows applications.
OTE: Keep your fingers dry and clean when using the touchpad. Also keep the touchpad dry and clean. The touchpad is sensitive to finger movement, hence, the lighter the touch, the better the response. Taping harder will not increase the touchpads responsiveness.

. Boot from the diagnostics diskette and start the doagmpstotics program (please refer to main board.
. Go to the diagnostic memory in the test items.
. Press F2 in the test items.
. Follow the instructions in the message window.OTE: Make sure that the DIMM is fully installed into the connector. A loose connection can cause an error.
er System Checko verify the symptom of the problem, power on the computer using each of the following power sources:
. Remove the battery pack.
. Connect the power adapter and check that power is supplied.
. Disconnect the power adapter and install the charged battery pack; then check that power is supplied by the battery pack.
f you suspect a power problem, see the appropriate power supply check in the following list:

. If the voltage is not correct, replace the power adapter.
. If the voltage is within the range, do the following:
T Replace the System board.
T If the problem is not corrected, see Undetermined Problems on page 75.
T If the voltage is not correct, go to the next step.OTE: An audible noise from the power adapter does not always indicate a defect.
. If the power-on indicator does not light up, check the power cord of the power adapter for correct continuity and installation.
. If the operational charge does not work, see Check the Battery Pack on page 62.

rom Software:
. Check out the Power Management in control Panel
. In Power Meter, confirm that if the parameters shown in the screen for Current Power Source and Total Battery Power Remaining are correct.
. Repeat the steps 1 and 2, for both battery and adapter.
. This helps you identify first the problem is on recharging or discharging.
rom Hardware:
. Power off the computer.
. Remove the battery pack and measure the voltage between battery terminals 1(+) and 6(ground).
. If the voltage is still less than 7.5 Vdc after recharging, replace the battery.
o check the battery charge operation, use a discharged battery pack or a battery pack that has less than 50% f the total power remaining when installed in the computer.
f the battery status indicator does not light up, remove the battery pack and let it return to room temperature. e-install the battery pack.
f the charge indicator still does not light up, replace the battery pack. If the charge indicator still does not light p, replace the DC/DC charger board.
chpad Checkf the touchpad doesnt work, do the following actions one at a time to correct the problem. Do not replace a on-defective FRU:
. Reconnect the touchpad cables.
. Replace the touchpad.
. Replace the system board.
fter you use the touchpad, the pointer drifts on the screen for a short time. This self-acting pointer movement an occur when a slight, steady pressure is applied to the touchpad pointer. This symptom is not a hardware roblem. No service actions are necessary if the pointer movement stops in a short period of time.

OTE: Perform the FRU replacement or actions in the sequence shown in FRU/Action column, if the FRU replacement does not solve the problem, put the original part back in the computer. Do not replace a non-defective FRU.
his index can also help you determine the next possible FRU to be replaced when servicing a computer.
f the symptom is not listed, see Undetermined Problems on page 75.
he following lists the error messages that the BIOS displays on the screen and the error symptoms classified y function.
OTE: Most of the error messages occur during POST. Some of them display information about a hardware device, e.g., the amount of memory installed. Others may indicate a problem with a device, such as the way it has been configured.
OTE: If the system fails after you make changes in the BIOS Setup Utility menus, reset the computer, enter Setup and install Setup defaults or correct the error.
