Possible Solutions
Turn down the brightness adjustment. The higher
the brightness the more power your display uses.
Replace the batteries.
Replace the batteries.
Restore the LifeBook notebook to normal operating
temperature. The Charging icon on the Status Indi-
cator panel will flash when the battery is outside its
operating range.
Enable the button from the setup utility.
Hold the button longer. This may need to be a few
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 35 for more information)
Make sure you have the right password. Enter the
setup utility and verify the Security settings and
modify them accordingly. (See BIOS Setup Utility on
page 35 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.
Check the status indicator panel to verify that the
Security icon is blinking. If it is blinking, enter your
password.
See the POST messages to determine the meaning
and severity of the problem. Not all messages are
errors; some are simply status indicators. (See Power
On Self Test Messages on page 70 for more informa-
tion)
