PC Card Problems
A card inserted in the PC
Card slot does not work or
is locking up the system.
The card is not properly
installed.
Remove and re-install the card.
(See PC Cards on
page 43 for more information)
The card may have been
installed while an application
was running, so your notebook
is not aware of its installation.
Close the application and restart your 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 29 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
Indicator Panel on page 11 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 11 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
Indicator Panel on page 11 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 27 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.
