- Troubleshooting
A card inserted in the ExpressCard
slot does not work or is locking up
the system.
(continued)
Your software may not have
the correct software driver
active.
See your software documentation and activate the correct driver.
The card may have been
installed while an application
was running, so your note-
book is not aware of its
installation.
Close the application and restart your notebook.
Power Failures
You turn on your LIFEBOOK note-
book and nothing seems to hap-
pen.
The primary battery is
installed but is faulty.
Use the Status Indicator panel to verify the presence and condition of the batter-
ies.
See “Status Indicator Panel” on page 22.
If a battery is indicating a short,
remove that battery and operate from another power source or replace that bat-
tery.
The battery is completely dis-
charged, there is no 2nd bat-
tery or AC adapter installed.
Check the Status Indicator Panel to determine the presence and condition of the
batteries. See “Status Indicator Panel” on page 22. Install a charged battery or a
Power adapter.
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 22. Use a Power adapter to oper-
ate until a battery is charged or install a charged battery.
The Power adapter (AC or
auto/airline) is faulty.
Try a different Power adapter or install a charged optional second 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 45.
The power adapter (AC or
auto/airline) has no power
from the AC outlet, airplane
seat jack, or 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.
