Following are some useful hints for the commonly asked questions
concerning:
Case:
The plastic chassis and the aluminum chassis are
integrated to provide the container for your equipment.
The case itself needs little or no maintenance.
The case
can be disassembled n steps that are outlined in the user
manual with the portable. However, we do not recommend disassembling
of the case unless you are confident that you are able to
reassemble it.
The case
itself contains speaker attach via to a separate volume control
board with a volume knob located on the right on the case.
A phone plug is supplied to be connected to a sound card.
For AT
case, only baby AT motherboard and certain passive backplane
board depending on size and number of slots can be fitted
into the chassis. For ATX case, both AT and ATX motherboard
and certain passive backplane board can be fitted into the
chassis.
An extra
drive bay in addition can be mounted inside the chassis is
the space is free from other obstruction such as peripheral
cards.
Keyboard:
To detach the keyboard from the system unit, press
down on the two release buttons on both side of the system
unit simultaneously. Carefully remove the keyboard from the
system unit. The keyboard also comes with a GlidePoint Touchpad.
The connector for both the keyboard and touchpad is located
in a compartment in the front of the keyboard. To connect
the keyboard and touchpad connector, simply plug the respected
plug into the mark hole in the lower right front of the unit.
The keyboard may be positioned in an angle by flip the two
legs on the back of the keyboard.
Two type
on mouse connection are available, one is a proprietary BUS
type mouse connection (9 pin) and the other is the standard
PS/2 (6 pin) connection. While the keyboard connection remains
to be AT type (5 pin).
Power Supply:
Be sure to check the voltage switch on right side
of the case to check the power supply has the correct voltage
for your local area voltage setting before usage.
For auto-switching
power supply this is not necessary, as this automatically
adjust to your local voltage setting.
Wattage
difference between power supply will depend on the needs of
your equipment. It is best if you can calculate the needs
of your peripheral cards and drives to best match the power
supply you will need.
LCD VGA Card:
LCD VGA Card should be either in the format of PCI or ISA
bus. When connecting to the motherboard, make sure it is firmly
fitted into its respected slot. Should the jumpers or any
connector been change on the LCD VGA Card, please call our
technical service for assistance.
Please refer to your user manual for proper setting of the
jumper setting to your panel type.
Do not
intermix display card from one unit with another unless there
have been prior acknowledgment from a service staff here.
There is a high risk of burning out the LCD panel and the
display card.
Should
the display shows garbage or junk that might not otherwise
suppose to be there, possibilities of bad video memory is
present, or cabling between the LCD and the video card might
be bad.
Video
card that contain a dip switch box will be preset to match
the LCD panel type, if changes are necessary, please inquire
on other possible setting with us.
Voltage
adjustment can be made between 3.3V and 5.0V for the panel
(with exception of certain DSTN panel which require high voltage)
with jumper. Please consult with our staff as to the proper
setting before changing, as our display card are ship with
preset setting that match the panel type already.
LCD Screen:
The LCD Screen has the contrast and brightness
control either on the side or the front of the LCD panel.
If should the LCD screen fail to display or display improperly.
Do not attempt to open it and changing parts, it carries high
voltage. Please call our technical service for assistance.
Proper maintenance should be taken to ensure that the panel
does not get scratch or dents.
Should
there be case where the LCD panel becomes very dim, where
only shadow of text/graphic is noticeable. Possibilities of
either the inverter or the back-light of the LCD itself are
burned out.
Should
there be no sign of life at all from the LCD display, yet
an external hookup with an CRT shows proper display, then
either the LCD or the cable or the video card need to be check.
Burn pixels
on the LCD panel can be attributed to natural wear of the
LCD life. Though premature burn out of pixels can be addressed
to us within 30 days of purchase for replacement.
Conversion Board:
Conversion board needs to be adjusted accordingly
with the regular (analogue) video card. We recommend
using 60hz refresh rate for the proper adjustment.
We supply
a loop back cable from the regular video card to the conversion
board, should there be a need for a different cable, we do
not recommend at long run of cable unless it is well shielded.
Adjustment
of the conversion board should be made easy from the on-screen
menu in which the buttons layout either on the side of the
conversion board or the front of the LCD panel can be use
to adjust each setting. Please refer your user manual for
proper instruction.
VGA Driver:
Drivers are provided in a utility CD which contains
the proper driver for each of the type of display card we
provide. Currently we provide only two brands: Chips &
Technology and Trident.
Locate
the proper driver type in the sub-folder of the CD and select
the driver that matches your video card, the model can be
read off the video card itself.
We do
not currently provide drivers for operating system other than
MS Windows and OS/2. Other operating system such as SCO and
Solaris, you must acquire the driver from them respectively.
