USB Device Problems
You have installed a USB
device. Your LifeBook note-
book does not recognize
the device, or the device
does not seem to work
properly.
The device is not prop-
erly installed.
Remove and re-install the device. See “Device Ports” on page 88.
The device may have
been installed while an
application was running,
so your notebook is not
aware of its installation.
Close the application and restart your notebook.
Your device may not
have the correct soft-
ware driver active.
See your software documentation and activate the correct driver.
PC Card Problems
A card inserted in the PC
Card slot does not work or
is locking up the system.
The card is not properly
installed.
Remove and re-install the card. See “Using PC Cards” on
page 81.
The card may have
been installed while an
application 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.
Power Failures
You turn on your LifeBook
notebook and nothing
seems to happen.
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 23. If a
battery is indicating a short, remove that battery and operate from
another power source or replace that battery.
