Troubleshooting
Your LifeBook notebook is sturdy and subject to few
problems in the field. However, you may encounter
simple setup or operating problems that you can solve
on the spot, or problems with peripheral devices, that
you can solve by replacing the device. The information
in this section helps you isolate and resolve some of
these straightforward problems and identify failures that
require service.
IDENTIFYING THE PROBLEM
If you encounter a problem that you are having diffi-
culty in solving, go through the following procedure
before pursuing further troubleshooting:
1. Turn off your LifeBook notebook.
2. Make sure the AC adapter is plugged into your note-
book and to an active AC power source.
3. Make sure that any card installed in the PC Card slot
is seated properly. You can also remove the card
from the slot, thus eliminating it as a possible cause
of failure.
4. Make sure that any devices connected to the external
connectors are plugged in properly. You can also
disconnect such devices, thus eliminating them as
possible causes of failure.
5. Turn on your notebook. Make sure it has been off at
least 10 seconds before you turn it on.
6. Go through the boot sequence.
7. If the problem has not been resolved, refer to the
Troubleshooting Table, that follows, for more
detailed troubleshooting information.
8. If you have tried the solutions suggested in the Trou-
bleshooting Table without success, contact your
