up the system.
(continued)
Your software may not
have the correct soft-
ware driver active.
See your software documentation and activate the correct driver.
You may have the
wrong I/O address
selected for your card
device.
See your PC Card/ExpressCard documentation to determine the
required I/O address. Change the settings in the BIOS. See “BIOS
Setup Utility” on page 54.
Your card device and
another device are
assigned the same I/O
address.
Check all I/O addresses located within the BIOS setup utility and
any other installed hardware or software to make sure there are
no duplications.
Power Failures
You turn on your LifeBook
notebook and nothing
seems to happen.
The installed primary
battery is completely
discharged, there is no
optional second battery
installed or there is no
Power adapter (AC or
Auto/Airline) installed.
Check the Status Indicator Panel to determine the presence and
condition of the batteries. See “Status Indicator Panel” on
page 24. Install a charged battery or a Power adapter.
The primary battery is
installed but is faulty.
Use the Status Indicator panel to verify the presence and condi-
tion of the batteries. See “Status Indicator Panel” on page 24. If a
battery is indicating a short, remove that battery and operate from
another power source or replace that battery.
The battery or batteries
are low.
Check the Status Indicator Panel to determine the presence and
condition of the batteries. See “Status Indicator Panel” on
page 24. Use a Power adapter to operate until a battery is
charged or install a charged battery.
The power adapter (AC
or auto/airline) is not
plugged in properly.
Verify that your adapter is connected correctly. See “Power
Sources” on page 48.
