Chapter 9: Troubleshooting

■

Change the display settings.

■

Move your notebook away from sources of electrical interference, 
such as televisions, unshielded speakers, microwaves, fluorescent 
lights, and metal beams or shelves.

This condition is normal and inherent in the TFT technology used in 
active-matrix LCD screens. Gateway’s inspection standards keep these to 
a minimum. If you feel these pixels are unacceptably numerous or dense 
on your display, contact Gateway Customer Care to identify whether a 
repair or replacement is justified based on the number of pixels affected.

■

Adjust the brightness using the system keys. For more information, 
see 

“System key combinations” on page 31.

■

Make sure the notebook is not in standby or hibernate mode. For 
more information, see 

.

■

The notebook may be sending its display to an external monitor or 
projector. Press F

 + F4 several times to toggle through the attached 

display, an external monitor or projector, or both.

■

The disc may not be seated correctly in the tray. When you place a 
disc on the tray, make sure that you press the disc firmly onto the 
spindle so the retainers hold the disc in place.

■

Make sure that the disc label is facing up, then try again.

■

Try a different disc. Occasionally discs are flawed and cannot be read 
by the drive.
