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 page 25 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 battery is
discharged and there is no AC
adapter installed.
Check the Status Indicator Panel to determine the
presence and condition of the battery. (See Status
Indicator Panel page 13 for more information) Install
a charged battery or a Power adapter.
The battery is installed but is
faulty.
Use the Status Indicator panel to verify the presence
and condition of the battery. (See Status Indicator
Panel page 13 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 is low. Check the Status Indicator Panel to determine the
presence and condition of the battery. (See Status
Indicator Panel page 13 for more information) Use a
Power adapter to operate until a battery is charged
or install a charged battery.
The AC adapter is not plugged
in properly.
Verify that your adapter is connected correctly. (See
Power Sources page 23 for more information)
The Power adapter has no
power from the AC outlet.
Move the AC cord to different outlet, check for a line
switch or tripped circuit breaker for the AC outlet.
The AC adapter is faulty. Try a different Power adapter.
Your LifeBook notebook
turns off all by itself.
The power management
parameters are set for auto
timeouts which are too short
for your operating needs.
Press any button or key on the keyboard, or move
the mouse. 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 better suit your operation needs.
You are operating on battery
power and ignored a low
battery alarm until the battery
is dead and your machine has
gone into Dead Battery
Suspend mode.
Install a power adapter and then push the Power/
Suspend/Resume button. (See Power Sources page 23
for more information)
Your power adapter has failed
or lost its power source.
Make sure the adapter is plugged in and the outlet
has power.
You have a battery failure. Verify the condition of the battery using the Status
Indicator panel, and replace or remove the battery if
it is shorted. (See Status Indicator Panel page 13 for
more information)
Your notebook will not
work on battery alone.
The installed battery is dead. Replace the battery with a charged one or install
an AC adapter.
