The touchpad works a mouse pointing device replacement that is used under Windows based operating system. You can use the standard Microsoft driver that is compatible with the touchpad device and is normally used under Windows. -based operating system. However, if you want to utilize the added features of the touchpad, you may want to try installing its own device driver that comes with added utilities for enhancing the function of the device. Here how to use the touchpad pointing device: 1. The rectangular surface acts like a miniature duplicate of your display screen. To move the mouse cursor, place the finger lightly on the sensor pad and move in the desired direction. If you reach the end of the pad, lift your finger and place it back down on the other side of the pad. To select an item, click on the item by pressing the left button control or by simply tapping on the surface once. A light, quick tap always works best. To execute an item, click the left button twice or do a quick double tap on the surface. To simulate holding the mouse button down (dragging an icon or selection), use the tap-and-drag gesture. This feels much like a double click, except that the finger remains on the pad after the second tap: Tap, lift, tap, hold and move. The simulated button remains held as long as the finger remains on the pad.

IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG
This chapter aims to help you solving many problems by yourself without additional helps. It covers the problems you are most likely to encounter.
7-1
The AC Power LED does not come on when you plug in the AC adapter and power cable.
Make sure the AC adapter and power cable are finely plugged into both a working wall putlet and the notebook.
7-2
The AC adapter and power cable work correctly, but the battery will not charge
The battery does not charge while the notebook is consuming full power. Try turning off the notebook. The main battery may not be inserted correctly in the notebook. Turn off the notebook, remove the battery clean the contacts with a soft dry clith (if necessary) and replace the battery. The battery maybe too hot or too cold to charge properly. Its temperature need to be in the range 5 s/d 50 Centigrade. If you think this is the probable cause, let the battery reach room temperature and try again. If the battery has completely discharged, it will note begin charging immediately. Leave the AC adapter and power cable connected, wait 20 minutes and see whether the battery is charging. If the battery light is glowing after 20 minutes, let the notebook continue charging the battery for at least another 20 minutes before you turn on the notebook. If the battery light does not glow after 20 minutes, the battery may have reached the end of its useful life. Try replacing it.
The battery appears not to power the notebook for as long as it usually does
Check the power options using the Windows Power Management utility. Have you add the device, such as a PC Card or memory module, that takes its power from the battery? Is your software using the hard disk more? Is the display power set to turn off automatically? Was the battery fully charged to begin with? All these conditions affect how long the charge lasts.
7-3
If removing the memory module eliminates the error, the module may be faulty. If the error occurs without the module installed, the module is not causing the error.
Keyboard Problems
If when you type strange things happen or nothing happens, the problem may be related to the keyboard itself.
You have connected an external keyboard and Windows displays one or more keyboard error message.
If you have a second keyboard, try it. If it works, the first keyboard may be defective or incompatible with your notebook.
