How to Setup a Bluetooth Wireless Connection In Laptop

Notebook PCs with Bluetooth technology eliminates the need for cables for connecting Bluetooth-enabled devices. Examples of Bluetooth-enabled devices may be Notebook PCs, Desktop PCs, mobile phones, and PDAs.

If your Notebook PC did not come with built-in Bluetooth, you need to connect a USB or ExpressCard Bluetooth module in order to use Bluetooth.

Bluetooth-enabled mobile phones
You can wireless connect to your mobile phone. Depending on your mobile phone’s capabilities, you can transfer phone book data, photos, sound files, etc. or use it as a modem to connect to the Internet. You may also use it for SMS messaging.

Bluetooth-enabled computers or PDAs

You can wireless connect to another computer or PDA and exchange files, share peripherals, or share Internet or network connections. You may also make use of Bluetooth-enabled wireless keyboard or mouse.

Turning ON and Launching Bluetooth Utility

This process can be used to add most Bluetooth devices.

1. Switch ON the Wireless function if necessary for your model (see switches in Chapter 3).

2. Press [FN+F2] repeatedly until wireless LAN icon and bluetooth icon are shown.

Or double click the Wireless Console icon in the Windows notification area and select the Bluetooth icon.

Special Keyboard Functions Of A Laptop And Its Use :

Laptops ("notebooks") have a Function key ("FN"). It usually has a blue color. Find it cause we may need to use it later. The keyboard functions on a laptop are similar to keys on a standard keyboard. The difference comes in the use of the “F” keys, or functions keys. The actual activity and icons of these keys may vary by the design of computer. The “FN” key works as a modifier. It changes or modifies the function of another key, like a fancy “shift” key. When pressing this modifier key in conjunction with

Blue Screen Of Death with white text appears after system boot

Blue Screen Of Death with white text appears after system boot:

“Blue Screen of Death” typically occurs when Windows encounters a critical problem which it is unable to recover without halting the computer. So it basically posts its diagnostics of the problem in the form of blue screen. Most of the time the diagnostic is pretty technical and it doesn’t make sense to a normal computer user. A technical person can typically analyze the system logs to find out what is causing the problem & if it needs just a software fix or if it is due to a faulty or failing hardware component. If the computer is unable to read properly from the boot device or some recent change in its configuration has caused a driver to

How to Maximize Your Laptop Battery Life

The Notebook PC has a number of automatic or adjustable power saving features that you can use to maximize battery life and lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). You can control some of these features through the Power menu in the BIOS Setup. ACPI power management settings are made through the operating system. The power management features are designed to save as much electricity as possible by putting components into a low power consumption mode as often as possible but also allow full operation on demand.

Sleep and Hibernate

Power management settings can be found in the Windows > Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Power Options. In Power Options, you can define “Sleep/Hibernate” or “Shut Down” for closing the display panel or pressing the power button. “Sleep” and “Hibernate” saves power when your Notebook PC is not in use by turning OFF certain components. When you resume your work, your last status (such as a document scrolled down half way or email typed half way) will reappear as if you never left. “Shut Down” will close all applications and ask if you want to save your work if any are not saved.

Power Management Modes

You can control some of these features through the Power menu in the BIOS Setup. ACPI power management settings are made through the operating system. The power management features are designed to save as much electricity as possible by putting components into a low power consumption mode as often as possible but also allow full operation on demand.

Sleep is the same as Suspend-to-RAM (STR). This function stores your current data and status in RAM while many components are turned OFF. Because RAM is volatile, it requires power to keep (refresh) the data. Click the Windows button and the arrowhead next to the lock icon to see this option. You can also use the keyboard shortcut [Fn F1] to activate this mode. Recover by pressing any keyboard key except [Fn]. (NOTE: The power indicator will blink in this mode.)

Hibernate is the same as Suspend-to-Disk (STD) and stores your current data and status on the hard disk drive. By doing this, RAM does not have to be periodically refreshed and power consumption is greatly reduced but not completely eliminated because certain wake-up components like LAN needs to remain powered. “Hibernate” saves more power compared to “Sleep”. Click the Start button and the arrowhead next to the lock icon to see this option. Recover by pressing the power button. (NOTE: The power indicator will be OFF in this mode.)

Thermal Power Control

There are three power control methods for controlling the Notebook PC’s thermal state. These power control cannot be configured by the user and should be known in case the Notebook PC should enter these states. The following temperatures represent the chassis temperature (not CPU).

• The fan turns ON for active cooling when the temperature reaches the safe upper limit.

• The CPU decreases speed for passive cooling when the temperature exceeds the safe upper limit.

• The system shut down for critical cooling when temperature exceeds

the maximum safe upper limit.
