 3 Troubleshooting my computer

Image is not full screen.

The computer display has a native resolution of 1024 x 768 (XGA) for 

En

the 14.1 /15.0  or 1400 x 1050 (SXGA+) for the 15.0 (selected models 

only).  If you set the resolution lower than this, the screen expands to 

fill the computer display.  Right click on your Windows desktop and 

select Properties to bring up the Display Properties dialog box.  Then 

click on the Settings tab to make sure that the resolution is set to the 

appropriate resolution.  Resolutions lower than the specified 

resolution are not full screen on the computer or on an external 

monitor.

No audio is heard from the computer.

Check the following:

The volume may be muted.  In Windows, look at the volume 

control (speaker) icon on the taskbar.  If it is crossed out, click on 

the icon and deselect the Mute option.

The speakers may be turned off.  Press Fn F8 to turn the speakers 

on (this hot key also turns the speakers off).

The volume level may be too low.  In Windows, look at the volume 

control icon on the taskbar.  You can also use the volume control 

buttons to adjust the volume.  See  Hot keys  on page 16 for more 

detail.

If headphones, earphones or external speakers are connected to 

the line out port on the computer's right panel, the internal 

speakers automatically turn off.

I want to eject the optical drive tray without turning on the power. I 

cannot eject the optical drive tray.

There is a mechanical eject button on the optical drive.  Simply insert 

the tip of a pen or paperclip and push to eject the tray.
