Troubleshooting
PC Card does not work
or locks up the system.
(continued)
The card may have been installed
while an application was running,
so your LifeBook notebook 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.
You may have the wrong I/O
address selected for your PC Card
device.
See PC Card documentation to determine the
required I/O address. Change the BIOS settings. (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.
The card may have been
“removed” using the Unplug or
Eject Hardware utility.
If the Unplug or Eject Hardware utility has been
used to “remove” the PC card, the system will not
recognize the card, even if it is still present in the
slot. Physically remove the card and reinstall it in the
slot. If that is not 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 14 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 14 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 14 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.
Your LifeBook note-
book turns off all by
itself.
You have a battery failure. Verify the condition of the batteries using the Status
Indicator Panel, and replace or remove any batteries
that are shorted. (See Status Indicator Panel on
page 14 for more information)
