Troubleshooting

Dealing with Problems 

(Summary)

The power indicator or bat-
tery indicator is not lit

The computer does not op-
erate when a USB device is
connected
[Enter Password] is displayed

POST Startup Error(s) is
displayed
Windows startup, or an op-
eration is extremely slow

The date and time are incor-
rect

When resuming from the
standby or hibernation
mode, [Enter Password]
does not appear even if a
password has been set in the
Setup Utility

When “Invalid system disk.
Replace the disk, and then
press any key.” (or a simi-
lar message) is displayed

Check the cable connection for the AC adaptor.
Check to see if a fully charged battery is properly inserted.
Remove the battery pack and disconnect the AC adaptor, then connect them again.

The computer may not operate when certain USB devices are connected.  Disconnect the
USB device, or set [Legacy USB support] to [Disable] in [Advanced] menu of the Setup
Utility.
Input your password.  If you have forgotten it, contact your technical support office
(

 page 32).

Press  

 

F9

   in the Setup Utility (

 

 “Setup Utility”).   This will restore the Setup

Utility’s settings to their default values (except the password settings).  Then, the Setup
Utility must be run once again for you to input the appropriate operating environment
settings.  (The processing speed depends on the application software used, so this opera-
tion may not cause the processing speed to increase.)
If operations slow down during streaming playback, try changing the number of colors of
the display.
You can set the date and time using the following procedure:

Windows 2000

[Control Panel] - [Date/Time]

Windows XP

[Control Panel] - [Date, Time, Language, and Regional Options] - [Date and Time]
If you continue to experience problems, the internal battery maintaining the clock may
need to be replaced.  Contact your technical support office (

 page 32).

  When the computer is connected to a LAN, confirm the date and time of the server.
  This computer will not correctly recognize the date and time starting from the year 2100

A.D.

Even when a password has been set in the Setup Utility, [Enter Password] does not appear
w h e n   t h e   c o m p u t e r   r e s u m e s   f r o m   t h e   s t a n d b y   o r   h i b e r n a t i o n   m o d e .
If you want to use the security function when using the standby or hibernation mode, use the
Windows password as follows:

   Windows 2000

Set the password in [Control Panel] - [Users and Passwords], then add the check mark for
[Prompt for password when computer goes off standby] in [Control Panel] - [Power Op-
tions] - [Advanced].

   Windows XP

Select the account to change in [Control Panel] - [User Accounts] and set the password, then
add the check mark for [Prompt for password when computer resumes from standby] in
[Control Panel] - [Performance and Maintenance] - [Power Options] - [Advanced].

This means a floppy disk that does not contain system startup information has been left in
the floppy disk drive.  Remove the floppy disk, and press any key.
This message may appear when certain USB devices are connected.  Remove the USB
device, or set [Legacy USB support] in [Advanced] menu of the Setup Utility to [Dis-
able].
If the message still appears even after trying the above two measures, this may be an
indication that some type of hard disk failure has occurred.  Contact your technical sup-
port office (

 page 32).

When a problem occurs, refer to this page.  The “Reference Manual” also contains detailed information.  If a problem appears to be
related to a software application, read the software related manual.  If you still cannot troubleshoot the problem, contact your
technical support office. (
