Modem Problems
Messages about modem

Messages about modem opera-
tion are generated by whichever

USB or IR Device Problems
You have installed a USB
or IR device. Your Life-
Book notebook does not
recognize the device, or
the device does not seem
to work properly.
The device is not properly
installed.
Remove and re-install the device.
(See Device Ports
on page 44 for more information)
The device may have been
installed while an application was
running, so your LifeBook 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.
PC Card Problems
PC Card does not work
or locks up the system.
The card is not properly installed.
Remove and re-install the card.

ExpressCards™ on page 42 for more information)
The card may have been installed
while an application was running,
so your system is not aware of it.

correct software driver active.
See your software documentation and activate the
correct driver.
The card may have been
“removed” using the Unplug or
Eject Hardware utility.
If Unplug or Eject Hardware utility has been used to
remove the card, the system will not recognize it,
even if it is still in the slot. Remove the card and
reinstall it. If that isn’t successful, reboot the system.
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
Indicator Panel on page 13 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 Indicator
Panel on page 13 for more information)
If a battery is
indicating a short, remove that battery and operate
from another power source or replace that battery.
