•

  If necessary, you can format the hard disk and reinstall the original factory software.

See “To recover the factory installation of your hard disk” on page 129.

Heat Problems

Your computer normally gets warm during routine operation.

•

  Always set the computer on a flat surface, so that air can flow freely around and

underneath it.

•

  Make sure the air vents on the bottom and right side of the computer are clear.

•

  Keep in mind that games and other programs that drive CPU usage toward 100% can

increase the computer’s temperature.

Infrared Problems

By default, the infrared port is not enabled, so you must enable it before you can use it.

•

  Make sure the line between the two infrared ports is not blocked, and that the ports

face each other as squarely as possible. (The computer’s infrared port is located on its
right side, beneath the volume control.) The ports should be no more than 1 meter
apart.

•

  Check settings in the BIOS Setup utility:

1.  Restart the computer: click Start, Shut Down, Restart.

2.  When the HP logo appears, press F2 to enter BIOS Setup.

3.  From the System Devices menu, make sure Infrared Port is enabled and FIR mode

is selected.

4.  Press F10 to save and exit BIOS Setup.

•

  Make sure only one application is using the infrared port.

•

  Remove any PC Cards from the computer. An infrared IRQ conflict is possible if two

PC Cards are present at the same time.
