Troubleshooting
The display goes blank by
itself after you have been
using it.
The LifeBook has gone into
Video Timeout, Standby
Mode, Suspend Mode or Save-
to-Disk Mode because you
have not used it for a period of
time.
Press any button on the keyboard, or move the
mouse to restore operation. If that fails, push the
Suspend/Resume button. Check your power
management settings, or close your applications
and go to the Power Savings menu of the setup
utility to adjust the timeout values to better suit
your operation needs. See “BIOS Setup Utility” on
page 29.
Something is pushing on the
Closed Cover switch.

The power management time-
outs may be set for very short
intervals and you failed to
notice the display come on
and go off again.

to restore operation. If that fails, push the Suspend/
Resume button. (The display may be shut off by

The Built-in Display does
not close.
A foreign object, such as a
paper clip, is stuck between the
display and the keyboard.
Remove all foreign objects from the keyboard.
The Built-in Display has
bright or dark spots.
If the spots are very tiny and
few in number, this is normal
for a large LCD display.
This is normal; do nothing.
If the spots are numerous or
large enough to interfere with
your operation needs.
Display is faulty; contact your support representa-
tive.
The application display
uses only a portion of your
screen and is surrounded
by a dark frame.
You are running an application
that does not support 800 x
600/1024 x 768 pixel resolution
display and display compres-
sion is enabled.
Display compression gives a clearer but smaller
display for applications that do not support 800 x
600/1024 x 768 pixel resolution. You can fill the
screen but have less resolution by changing your
display compression setting, (See the Video Features
submenu, located within the Advanced menu of the
BIOS. See “BIOS Setup Utility” on page 29.
