Troubleshooting Solving Problems • Check that the battery is fully installed and locked in place. • Turn off the OmniBook, then check that the battery contacts are clean and that the ac adapter cables are fully plugged in. • Move the OmniBook away from any nearby heat source. Unplug the ac adapter and allow the battery to cool down. An elevated battery temperature prevents charging. • If available, try another battery and ac adapter. If the second battery doesn’t charge • The OmniBook’s second battery doesn’t charge until the main battery is fully charged. • Make sure the ac adapter is plugged into the power source. • Check that the light on the ac adapter is on.
• Check that the second battery module is fully installed and locked in place. If the OmniBook stops responding • Press CTRL+ALT+DEL to end the application that is not responding. • Press the blue power button to suspend the OmniBook. Then press the blue button again to turn the OmniBook back on. • If nothing happens, insert a paper clip into the system-off button on the right side of the OmniBook. Then press the blue button to turn the OmniBook on. If the OmniBook doesn’t suspend as expected • If you have a connection to another computer, the OmniBook doesn’t suspend if the connection is actively in use.
• If the OmniBook is performing an operation, it normally waits for the operation to finish. • If a CD-ROM drive is present, make sure auto insert notification is disabled. This is the default factory setting. In Windows 95 or Windows 98, view the CD-ROM drive properties in Device Manager. 7-11
