The display goes
blank by itself after
you have been
using it.

does not close.
The built-in display
has bright or dark
spots.
The application
display uses only a
portion of your
screen and is
surrounded by a
dark frame.
The LifeBook notebook
has gone into Video
timeout, Standby mode,
Suspend mode or
Hibernation (Save-to-Disk)
mode because you have
not used it for a period of
time.
Something is pushing on
the Closed Cover switch.
The power management
timeouts may be set for
very short intervals and
you failed to notice the
display come on and go
off again.
A foreign object, such as a
paper clip, is stuck
between the display and
the keyboard.
If the spots are very tiny
and few in number, this is
normal for a large LCD
display.

or large enough to

application that does not
support 800 x 600/1024 x
768 pixel resolution
display and display
compression is enabled.
Press any button on the keyboard, or move
the mouse to restore operation. If that fails,
push the Power/Suspend/Resume button.
Check your power management settings, or
close your applications and go to the Power
Savings menu of the setup utility to adjust the
timeout values to suit your operation needs.
Check the Closed Cover switch.
Press a keyboard button or move the mouse
to restore operation. If that fails, push the
Power/Suspend/Resume button. (The display
may be shut off by Standby Mode, Auto
Suspend or Video Timeout)
Remove all foreign objects from the keyboard.
This is normal; do nothing.
Display is faulty; contact your support
representative.
Display compression gives a clearer but
smaller display for applications that do not
support 800 x 600/1024 x 768 pixel resolution.
You can fill the screen but have less resolution
by changing your display compression setting,
(See the Video Features submenu, located
within the Advanced menu of the BIOS.)
