Problem Cause and Action
The computer locks or
does not accept any input.
Your computer might lock when it enters suspend mode during a
communication operation. Disable the suspend timer when you are working
on the network.
If you power on the computer with OS/2 Warp installed, make sure no disc
is in the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive. If there is, remove it, power off the
computer and power it on again.
To power off the computer, press the power shutdown switch using the tip of
a ballpoint pen.
The computer does not
power off with the power
switch.
If the suspend indicator is on and you are working under battery power, change
the battery to a fully charged one or change your power source to ac power.
If you still have a problem, press the power shutdown switch using the tip of a
ballpoint pen.
The computer does not
start from a diskette.
Make sure that the startup sequence in Easy-Setup is set so that the computer
starts from the diskette drive (see “Easy-Setup” on page 16).
