[ltp] 390E Generic questions unrelated to salmon

[Helen Borrie]

Hello 390E owners,

Please, would someone tell me what the slider at the very top of the 
keyboard console is for?  It is located to the right of the indicator LEDs 
for battery and suspend mode.

How does one get out of Suspend mode?  My machine has a habit of going into 
suspend when it gets a bit warm....all I can do at the moment is switch it 
off, resulting in the need for a fs check when it's rebooted.  My 
"production" notebook (a 1.5 GHz Highlander) comes out of suspend with a Fn 
sequence (the same sequence that can be used to put it into suspend) but 
that doesn't seem to work with the 390E.

Related, what are some tricks (other than what I do now) to reduce the 
tendency for the machine to get too hot when, say, it's reading from the 
CDROM or a pen-drive?  What I do now is to use it on a lapramp - for those 
who don't know, www.lapramp.com.au.  Do I need to run some fans 
underneath?  The Highlander (also on a lapramp) never runs hot enough to 
cut out, even in the very hot summers we have here.

Thanks for any advice.
Helen
