PC Card Problems
A card inserted in
the PC Card slot
does not work or
is locking up the
system.
You turn on your
LifeBook notebook
and nothing seems
to happen.
The card is not properly
installed.
The card may have been
installed while an
application was running,
so your notebook is not
aware of its installation.
Your sof tware may not
have the correct driver
active.
You may have the w rong
I/O address selected for
your PC Card device.
Your PC Card device and
another device are
assigned the same I/O
address.
The installed primary
battery is completely
discharged, there is no
optional second battery
installed or there is no
Power adapter installed.
The primary battery is
installed but is faulty.
The battery or batteries
are low.
Remove and reinstall the card.
Close the application and restart your
LifeBook notebook.
See your software documentation and activate
the correct driver.
See your PC Card documentation to deter-
mine the required I/O address. Change the
settings in the BIOS.
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.
Check the Status Indicator Panel to determine
the presence and condition of the batteries.
Install a charged battery or a Power adapter.
Use the Status Indicator panel to verify the
presence and condition of the batteries. If a
battery is indicating a short, remove that
battery and operate from another power
source or replace that battery.
Check the Status Indicator Panel to determine
the presence and condition of the batteries.
Use a Power adapter to operate until a battery
is charged or install a charged battery.
