SECTION SIX
TROUBLESHOOTING
The LifeBook E Series from Fujitsu is
sturdy and subject to few problems in the field.
However, you may encounter simple setup or
operating problems that you can solve on the
spot, or problems with peripheral devices, that
you can solve by replacing the device. The infor-
mation in this section helps you isolate and
resolve some of these straightforward problems,
and identify failures that require service.
IDENTIFYING THE PROBLEM
If you encounter a problem, go through the
following procedure before pursuing complex
troubleshooting:
1. Turn off your notebook using the power
switch on the right side panel.
2. Make sure the AC adapter is plugged
into your notebook and to an active AC
power source.
3. Make sure that any card installed in the
PC Card slot is seated properly. You can
also remove the card from the slot, thus
eliminating it as a possible cause of failure.
4. Make sure that any devices connected to
the external connectors are plugged
in properly. You can also disconnect such
devices, thus eliminating them as possible
causes of failure.
5. Turn on your notebook using the power
switch. Make sure it has been off at least
10 seconds before you turn it on.
6. Go through the boot sequence.
7. If the problem has not been resolved, refer
to the problem guide table, which follows, for
more detailed troubleshooting information.
