Answer:
Make sure that you have properly installed an operating system on the
hard disk. Check that the brightness and contrast controls are
properly adjusted. Try using a system floppy diskette to make sure the
operating system will load properly. If it doesn’t, contact your
support representative.

The LCD Display
Question:
I know the Notebook is on, but the LCD screen is blank. Is it broken?
Answer:
Probably not. More than likely, the screen contrast or brightness
controls are improperly adjusted or you’ve accidentally put the
computer into Suspend Mode by pressing the Suspend/Resume switch.
Press the button again to reactivate the screen. Another possibility is
that you’ve turned off the LCD display by pressing [Fn]+[F5] and set
the display for an external monitor. Press the space bar first to see if
the computer is in Standby Mode. If the screen image doesn’t come
back, check the contrast and brightness adjustments. If the problem
persists, press the [Fn] + [F5] combination to toggle back to LCD
mode. If the screen remains blank, consult your dealer for technical
support.

Keyboard
Question:
I can’t get the embedded numeric keypad to work.

pattern is on if you want to access the keypad. Conversely, make sure
the PAD Lock is off when you want to use the typewriter functions of
these keys. Press the [Fn] key to temporarily access the embedded
numeric keypad while you hold down the key.
