Troubleshooting Your LifeBook

Troubleshooting

There may be occasions when you encounter simple setup or operating problems that you can solve on the
spot, or problems with peripheral devices that can be solved by replacing the device. The information in this
section helps you isolate and resolve some of these straightforward issues and identify failures that require
service.
Identifying the Problem
If you encounter a problem, go through the following procedure before pursuing complex troubleshooting:
1Turn off your LifeBook Tablet PC.
2Make sure the AC adapter is plugged into your Tablet PC and to an active AC power source.
3Make sure that any card installed in the ExpressCard slot is seated properly. You can also remove the card from
the slot, thus eliminating it as a possible cause of failure.
4Make 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.
5Turn on your Tablet PC. Make sure it has been off at least 10 seconds before you turn it back on.
6Go through the boot sequence.
