Close all open applications.

Restart the notebook by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete simultaneously and 
clicking Restart on the Windows Security window.

If this procedure does not work, press and hold the power button for 4 
seconds or longer to shut down the notebook.
The sound of my notebook’s fan is too loud.
Use the PowerPanel™ utility to change the Thermal Control Strategy setting to 
Quiet. This setting slows down the CPU speed. See PowerPanel Help for more 
information.
Why does the System Properties dialog box display a slower CPU speed than 
advertised?
This is normal. Because your computer’s CPU utilizes a type of CPU speed 
controlling technology, System Properties may display the CPU’s current speed 
instead of the maximum advertised speed.

I cannot operate the optical drive in the docking station, when the docking

unmarked side, with a thin pen tip.
4
