Hardware Problems
This section lists possible solutions to some common problems with hardware.
Power Source
The VX5 receives power from either an AC-DC adapter or a vehicle battery. Power source
problems are usually interrelated. For example, a malfunctioning AC-DC adapter or vehicle
battery will not power the computer.
ATTENTION
Using the wrong AC adapter or DC converter could damage the VX5. LXE assumes
no liability for damage to the VX5 or adapter/converter caused by using the wrong
adapter/converter.
The following table provides solutions to common power source problems:
Problem Solution
The computer won’t start. Make sure you’ve attached the power cord properly and
that you have the power switch in the On position.
Make sure the wall outlet (for AC-DC adapter) is working
or the vehicle battery is charged.
Check fuse and replace if blown.
Make sure the vehicle battery is connected properly to the
VX5 power cable.
If you cannot find the source of the problem, consult LXE. Please refer to “Contacting LXE.”
