Display Problems If the OmniBook is on, but the screen is blank • Try pressing Fn+F1 to increase the contrast or Fn+F2 to decrease the contrast. (On some types of displays, contrast control is not necessary and therefore is not available.) • Press Fn+F12 in case the internal display was disabled. (Do this three times to return to the state you started from.) • If the OmniBook is cold, allow it to warm up. If the screen is difficult to read • Check whether the display resolution is set to its default setting—800 Ч 600 for 12.1" display or 1024 Ч 768 for 13.3" display. Check this in Start, Settings, Control Panel, Display, Settings. • Try pressing Fn+F1 to increase contrast.
If an external display does not work • Check the connections. • Press Fn+F12 in case the external monitor was disabled. (Do this three times to return to the state you started from.) • The external monitor may not be detected. In the BIOS Setup utility, try setting Video Display Device to LCD/CRT in the Main menu. See Configuring the OmniBook with the BIOS Setup Utility . You may also want to test the display with diagnostics. See Testing the OmniBook with Diag Tools . 27
