Troubleshooting

Your Fujitsu LifeBook is sturdy and subject to few prob- lems 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, go through the following procedure before pursuing complex troubleshooting:

1.Turn off your LifeBook.

2.Make sure the AC adapter is plugged into your Life- Book and to an active AC power source.

3.Make sure that any card installed 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 LifeBook. Make sure it has been off at least 10 seconds before you turn it on.

6.Go through the boot sequence.

7.If the problem has not been resolved, refer to the Troubleshooting Table, that follows, for more detailed troubleshooting information.
