ExpressCard Problems
A card inserted in the
ExpressCard slot does not
work or is locking up the
system.
Card is not properly installed. Remove and re-install the card. See “ExpressCards” on
page 85.
Card may have been installed
while an application was run-
ning, so your Tablet PC is not
aware of its installation.
Close the application and restart your Tablet PC.
Your software may not have
the correct driver active.
See your software documentation and activate the correct
driver.
Power Failures
You turn on your LIFE-
BOOK Tablet PC and
nothing seems to happen.
The installed battery is com-
pletely discharged or there is
no power adapter installed.
Check the Status Indicator Panel to determine the presence
and condition of the battery. See “Status Indicator Panel” on
page 26. 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” on
page 26. If the battery indicates a short, remove it 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” on
page 26. Use a Power adapter to operate until a battery is
charged or install a charged battery.
The power adapter is not
plugged in properly.
Verify that your adapter is connected correctly. See “Power
Sources” on page 67.
The power adapter (AC or
auto/airline) has no power
from the AC outlet, airplane
jack, or car 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.
