Sony PCG-XG700K User Guide

This section describes how to solve common problems you may encounter when 
using your notebook. Many problems have simple solutions, so try these 
suggestions before you contact Sony PC Support (http://www.sony.com/
pcsupport).

(Windows Me only) When starting your notebook for the first time, the VAIO 
InitManager dialog box will appear. Please select “OK” to begin initial setup. If 
you do not execute the initial setup, you cannot use some of the VAIO original 
hardware functions such as Jog Dial, Power Management tool, the scroll function 
of touchpad, and the keyboard shortcut key function combined with the Fn key.

❑

Check that the notebook is plugged into a power source and that it is turned 
on. Check that the power indicator on the front panel of the notebook 
indicates that the power is on.

❑

Check that the battery packs are inserted properly and that they are charged.

Confirm that the power cord and all cables are connected firmly, as described 
in “Connecting Peripheral Devices” on page 81.

❑

If you plugged the notebook into a power strip or UPS, make sure the power 
strip or UPS is turned on and working.

❑

If you are using an external display, check that it is plugged into a power 
source and turned on. Check that the brightness and contrast controls are 
adjusted correctly. See the manual that came with your display for details.
