Shutdown and Startup Problems
The Power and Suspend/
Resume button does not
work. The Power and Suspend/
Resume button is disabled
from the Advanced submenu
of the Power menu of the setup
utility. Enable the button from the setup utility.
You did not hold the button
in long enough. Hold the button longer. This may need to be a few
seconds if your application is preventing the CPU
from checking for button pushes.
There may be a conflict with
the application software. Close all applications and try the button again.
The system powers up, and
displays power on informa-
tion, but fails to load the
operating system. The boot sequence settings
of the setup utility are not
compatible with your
configuration. Set the operating source by pressing the [ESC] key
while the Fujitsu logo is on screen or use the [F2]
key and enter the setup utility and adjust the source
settings from the Boot menu. (See BIOS Setup
Utility on page 31 for more information)
You have a secured system
requiring a password to load
your operating system. Make sure you have the right password. Enter the
setup utility and verify the Security settings and
modify them accordingly. (See BIOS Setup Utility on
page 31 for more information)
Internal hard drive was
not detected. Use the BIOS setup utility or Primary Master
submenu, located within the Main menu, to try to
auto detect the internal hard drive.
An error message is
displayed on the screen
during the LifeBook
(boot) sequence. Power On Self Test (POST) has
detected a problem. See the POST messages to determine the meaning
and severity of the problem. Not all messages are
errors; some are simply status indicators. (See Power
On Self Test Messages on page 62 for more informa-
tion)
Your LifeBook appears to
change setup parameters
when you start it. BIOS setup changes were not
saved when you made them
and exited the BIOS setup
utility returning it to
previous settings. Make sure you select Save Changes And Exit when
exiting the BIOS setup utility.
The BIOS CMOS hold-up
battery has failed. Contact your support representative for repairs.
This is not a user serviceable part but has a normal
life of 3 to 5 years.
