Troubleshooting
Your LifeBook T4200 Series Tablet PC 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 Tablet PC.
2. Make sure the AC adapter is plugged into your
Tablet PC and to an active AC power source.
3. Make sure that any card inserted 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 Tablet PC. Make sure it has been off at
least 10 seconds before you turn it on.
6. Go through the boot sequence.
