Precautionary measure :
|

- On some machines, turning off the card is permanent and the card does not

reappear on subsequents reboots, which can result into the screen staying

black all the time, including the BIOS screen.

If it occurs, first try to shutdown, unplug power cord, remove battery, wait

solution is to reset the BIOS to factory settings. Before executing bbswitch

for the first time, it is therefore recommended to take note of the full key

sequence in the BIOS to do a reset.
