USB Device Problems
You have installed a USB
device. Your LifeBook
notebook does not recog-
nize the device, or the
device does not seem to
work properly.
The device is not properly
installed.
Remove and re-install the device.
See “Device Ports” on
page 81.
The device may have been
installed while an application
was running, so the notebook
is not aware of its installation.
Close the application and restart your notebook.
Your device may not have the
correct software driver active.
See your software documentation and activate the correct
driver.

ExpressCard slot does not
work or is locking up the
system.

page 79.
Card may have been installed
while an application was run-
ning, so your notebook is not

You turn on your LifeBook
notebook and nothing
seems to happen.

and condition of the battery.
