MONITOR KEEPS GOING OFF.

THERE IS A LITTLE KNOB ON THE KEYBOARD TO THE RIGHT OF THE LOCK AND UNLOCK ICON ON THE MONITOR. The monitor keeps going off and pressing this knob brings it on however it is not working properly. The monitor stays on for a fraction of a second and goes off. If I keep pressing the button it eventually stays on for a short time. I had this trouble when I first got the machine and then it settled down and I had no more problems so I didnt report it but now it is doing it all the time. I can sometimes see the monitor for a few minutes like now and other times it goes dark although you can still type and see what you have typed when it lights up again. You can just about make out whats on the monitor in the dark so the actual computer is still on. What should I do. Can I stop this knob from going off?

    Same problem. Monitor goes dark after every few minutes. Sometimes it stays on for awhile. Especially bad when computer first turned on. I have to turn off monitor, then turn it back on. Occurred once during typing of this message.

SOURCE: Random Fatal Stop Error

The driver irql_not_less_or_equal error can have multiple causes, but most of the time it is a hardware/driver issue.
Check if there are any new drivers available for you computer's hardware devices and update them if so.
Running a memory test also does not harm, could be faulty RAM.

How do i get my tablet screento rotate

What type of tablet? If it's an iPad this is available a few different ways.
If it's an iPad 1 running on iOS5:
1. Check the little toggle switch on the side, depending on your settings this functions as both a mute and a rotation lock. Try changing this.
2. If your toggle was set as a mute control and not a screen lock then the screen lock is kind of hidden. Double click the home button and when the little menu pops up swipe right on it, you should see an option to lock/unlock the rotation.

If you are on a newer iPad
1. Check the little toggle switch on the side, depending on your settings this functions as both a mute and a rotation lock. Try changing this.
2. f your toggle was set as a mute control and not a screen lock then the screen lock is kind of hidden. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to access the control panel. The screen lock/unlock option is directly on the control panel.

Cant unlock tablet t301

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "unlock". But, if you mean you see the main screen but don't know what to do next, that's easy. On the home screen you will see two icons down toward the bottom, one on the left (green, with a little picture of a lock which has an open hasp), this is the UNLOCK switch. Simply put your finger on it and drag to the right, then release. The other icon is gray and controls the volume. See the user manual here, and picture of the screen I am talking about is on page 7. Post back if this isn't what you were looking for. No reset necessary http://s3.velocitymicro.com/vmcruz/T301/manual/Cruz_Tablet_T301_User_Guide.pdf

No keyboard instructions

You need to press the Function button, then the num lock button. The function button may be labeled FN or F in a different color, the same color as the num lock button.

If that doesn't work, go to start, all programs, accessories, accesibility, on screen keyboard....it will display a regular keyboard on your screen, then click on the num lock key on that keyboard.
