troubleshooting display brightness and resolution Q My display is blank. What's wrong? A It could be several things: ❂ Your notebook may be "Sleeping." Press any key to "wake" the notebook from Sleep mode. ❂ The brightness setting may be down too low. Press Fn + F8 several times to increase the brightness of the display. ❂ Your notebook may be sending its display to an external monitor or TV. Press Fn + F4 several times to toggle through the attached display, an external monitor or TV, or both. ❂ Your notebook may be "Hibernating." Press the Power button once to resume from Hibernate mode. ❂ The lid switch may be stuck. Press the lid switch button (located on the keyboard above the function keys near the base of the display) several times to release it. Q Characters are garbled or the display flashes when the notebook is connected to an external TV. What's wrong? A The external monitor's resolution is set too high for your notebook. See "enabling TV output" in chapter 3 for more information about using an external monitor or TV. 69
