PC Card/ExpressCard Problems
A card inserted in the PC
Card or ExpressCard slot
does not work or is locking
up the system.
The card is not properly
installed.
Remove and re-install the card. See “PC Cards/ExpressCards™”
on page 79.
The card may have been
installed while an appli-
cation was running, so
your notebook is not
aware of its installation.
Close the application and restart your notebook.
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 Device
Manager.
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 condition
of the batteries. See “Status Indicator Panel” on page 24. If a bat-
tery 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.
