Shutdown and Startup Problems

The Suspend/Resume
button does not work.

The Suspend/Resume button
is disabled from the Advanced
submenu of the Power menu
of the setup utility.

Enable the button from the setup utility.

You did not hold the button
in long enough.

Hold the button longer. This may need to be a few
seconds if your application is preventing the CPU
from checking for button pushes.

There may be a conflict with
the application software.

Close all applications and try the button again.

The system powers up, and
displays power on informa-
tion, but fails to load the
operating system.

The boot sequence settings of
the setup utility are not
compatible with your
configuration.

Set the operating source by pressing the [F2] key
while the Fujitsu logo is on screen and enter the
setup utility and adjust the source settings from the
Boot menu.

See “BIOS Setup Utility” on page 29.

You have a secured system
requiring a password to load
your operating system.

Make sure you have the right password. Enter the
setup utility and verify the Security settings and
modify them as accordingly.

See “BIOS Setup

Utility” on page 29.

An error message is
displayed on the screen
during the LifeBook note-
book boot sequence.

Power On Self Test (POST) has
detected a problem.

See the Power On Self Test (POST) messages to
determine the meaning of the problem. Not all
messages are errors; some are simply status indica-
tors.

See “Power On Self Test Messages” on page 61.

Your system display won’t
turn on when the system is
turned on or when the

password.

when you start it.

The BIOS CMOS back-up
battery has failed.

Contact your support representative for repairs.
This is not a user serviceable part but has a normal

Video Problems

The built-in display is
blank when you turn on
your notebook.

The optional Port Replicator is
attached, an external monitor
is plugged in, and the note-
book is set for an external
monitor only.

Pressing [F10] while holding down the [Fn] key
allows you to change your selection of where to
send your display video. Each time you press the
combination of keys you will step to the next
choice. The choices, in order are: built-in display
only, external monitor only, both built-in display
and external monitor.

The angle of the display and
the brightness settings are not
adequate for your lighting
conditions.

Move the display and the brightness control until
you have adequate visibility.
