SPECIFIC PROBLEMS
Using PC-Doctor
PC-Doctor is a diagnostic program by
Watergate Software, Inc. which comes pre-
installed on your notebook. If your are an
experienced computer user you may find it
useful, however, it is intended primarily to
help your Fujitsu support representative better
serve you. When you call for help your support
representative may ask you to setup your note-
book for modem operation. You will be told
what to do step by step, and then to hang up
the phone and plug your phone line into
the back of your notebook. Your support
representative will then use the service
computer to call your notebook and perform
diagnostic tests to find the nature of your
problem. Messages will be displayed on the
screen explaining what is being done and
giving any instructions that you need.
User Problem Guides
When you have problems with your notebook,
try to find the symptoms under the
Problem

you difficulty. You will find a description of
common causes for that symptom under the
column
Possible Cause
and what, if anything,
you can do to correct the condition under
Possible Solution
.
Remember that it helps to keep notes of
what you have tried and the results when you
are troubleshooting.
