Troubleshooting
A card inserted in the PC
Card slot doesn’t work
or locks up the system.
(continued)
The card may have been installed
while an application was running,
so your LifeBook notebook is not
aware of its installation.
Close the application and restart your LifeBook
notebook.
Your software may not have the
correct software driver active.
See your software documentation and activate the
correct driver.
You may have the wrong I/O
address selected for your PC Card
device.
See your PC Card documentation to determine
the required I/O address. Change the settings in
the BIOS. (See BIOS Setup Utility on page 27 for
more information)
Your PC Card device and another
device are assigned the same I/O
address.
Check all I/O addresses located within the BIOS
setup utility and any other installed hardware or
software to make sure there are no duplications.
Power Failures
You turn on your
LifeBook notebook and
nothing seems to
happen.
The installed primary battery is
completely discharged, there is no
optional second battery installed
or there is no Power adapter (AC
or Auto/Airline) installed.
Check the Status Indicator Panel to determine the
presence and condition of the batteries. (See Status
Display Indicators on page 14 for more information)
Install a charged battery or a Power adapter.
The primary battery is installed
but is faulty.
Use the Status Indicator panel to verify the presence
and condition of the batteries. (See Status Display
Indicators on page 14 for more information) If a
battery is indicating a short, remove that battery and
operate from another power source or replace that
battery.
The battery or batteries are low. Check the Status Indicator Panel to determine the
presence and condition of the batteries. (See Status
Display Indicators on page 14 for more information)
Use a Power adapter to operate until a battery is
charged or install a charged battery.
The power adapter (AC or auto/
airline) is not plugged in properly.
Verify that your adapter is connected correctly. (See
Power Sources on page 25 for more information)
The Power adapter (AC or auto/
airline) has no power from the
AC outlet, airplane seat jack, or
the car’s cigarette lighter.
Move the AC cord to a different outlet, check for
a line switch or tripped circuit breaker for the AC
outlet. If you are using an auto/airline adapter in
a car make sure the ignition switch is in the On or
Accessories position.
The Power adapter (AC or auto/
airline) is faulty.
Try a different Power adapter or install a charged
optional second battery.
Your LifeBook notebook
turns off all by itself.
The power management parame-
ters are set for auto timeouts
which are too short for your
operating needs.
Press any button on the keyboard, or move the
mouse to restore operation. If that fails, push the
Suspend/Resume button. Check your power
management settings, or close your applications and
go to the Power Savings menu of the setup utility to
adjust the timeout values to better suit your
operation needs.
