Possible Solutions
Replace the battery.
Replace the battery.
Restore the LifeBook to normal operating tempera-
ture. The Battery Charging icon on the indicator
panel will flash when the battery is outside operating

seconds if your application is preventing the CPU
from checking for button pushes.
Close all applications and try the button again.
Set the operating source by pressing the [ESC] key
while the Fujitsu logo is on screen or use the [F2]
key and enter the setup utility and adjust the source
settings from the Boot menu. (See BIOS Setup
Utility on page 27 for more information)
Make sure you have the right password. Enter the
setup utility and verify the Security settings and
modify them as accordingly. (See BIOS Setup Utility
on page 27 for more information)
Use the BIOS setup utility or Primary Master
submenu, located within the Main menu, to try to
auto detect the internal hard drive.
See Power On Self Test (POST) messages to deter-
mine the meaning of the problem. Not all messages
are errors; some are status indicators. (See Power On
Self Test Messages on page 82 for more information)
Make sure you select Save Changes And Exit when
exiting the BIOS setup utility.
Contact your support representative for repairs.
